Two index pages using DP X11

Theo, raise a ticket with Xara and send them the file.

A file could get corrupted by all manner of means that may be out of Xara's hands.

Theo, have you tried reinstalling Xara? There is something really strange going on. I don't have the problem in the file where I have manually copied the pages to a new document. There are 59 pages and when I create a new blank page (or duplicate of current page) only one is created ending up in 60 pages.
I just checked that again.

I will have a go before raising the ticket as Acorn suggested.

I'll be back!

I uninstalled and reinstalled WD but I fear that it made not one jot of difference.

BUT

I am, rather tentatively, suggesting that I might have a working copy of my web site.

I can't remember who repaired the file for me but it appeared as a zipped file called "transfer" and within the file the WD file was called "repaired". I got is a few days ago but only this evening tried it out. And it certainly seems to be repaired. I have added pages and deleted them again without the irritating duplication. I will continue to treat it with caution but I would certainly like to thank the clever person who sorted it and I am sure that we would all like to know how he sorted it.

Thank you, all of you who have worked at this. I am very, very grateful.

I think that it would be sensible to raise the issue with Xara. They ought to know that the problem exists.

That was siran's file Theo. See post number 15

Theo, one thing about the file I uploaded: I only copied the pages, so you will need to copy your document settings and website options ( HTML head and body code for example ) from your original file.

I only got around to raising the ticket just a few minutes ago. I have been rather busy. I will certainly post here when they answer.

this is what I sent:

Dear Sir

The problem that I am having has been discussed at length on the Web Design Chat forum and several members have offered me help and suggestions.

The problem showed itself when I edited the index page of my site but I believe that it would have happened with any of the pages. As far as I can remember, I did not make any attempt to duplicate the index page but I copied and pasted new text to it from a Wordpad file that had been emailed to me.

I noticed the error when I had uploaded the site and found that the amendments had not appeared on the home page. Having navigated to another page and then clicking on a link to home I found that the new home page did appear.

Looking at the site in DP11 showed two versions of the home page numbered 1 and 2 but both with exactly the same name. Deleting one of them always deleted both.

I suspect that this problem occurred when I created a variant and then decided to undo the creation but unfortunately none of my backups are before this time so I have only the faulty file to send.

I have reinstalled DP11 with no change to the situation. I have attached the file of the web site and look forward to your comments.

My present connection (through a mobile phone on a narrow boat) is very slow. It does not appear that I can upload the file directly but this link should take you to a DropBox file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/h8915b4btbjfsnh/MOWS WD11.web?dl=0

Yours faithfully
