Thanks for the input to date. I am learning a lot at the moment. I have still had no success with the existing pages I produced. Basically once they become reasonably long they will no longer preview or publish successfully to the web.
My original website had long pages. They started off short using flash based slide shows but when security issued arose with flash and the slide shows would no longer work on IOS devices I stopped using them. I spent a lot of time converting all the old slide shows over to basic photo grids and text boxes; I lost my enthusiasm for slide shows and had not used them since.
However, given the problems I have been having I decided to have a look at the options in Xara and I downloaded a number of Photo Slideshows & galleries. I understand that they no longer use flash and so should be OK with all laptops/tablets etc.
Yesterday I began the process of converting one of the long pages I was having trouble with into a shorter one including several Photo Slideshows & galleries and smart photo grids. The pages are dramatically shorter and present better and so far are working as they should. So despite the work that will be involved I think I will go down that path. I will post next week when I have made more progress on a few of the pages.
Thanks for members input to date. The forum is a good source of information.
