    DEMO
    Ahh !! OK I did not realise you could do that !
    Thank you for your trouble in doing the demo.
    I will have a play with that.
    Still want captions though - wonder if they could pop-up too.
    The other way I thought was to add the cation onto the actual image - bit of a pain though.

    Thank you all.

    Hi Egg & Acorn

    Thank you both very much - Had a play with Image Pop-Up - Yes that will do nicely.
    And it has Titles and Captions. Xara support never mentioned this !!
    Going to have another play now.
    Cheers
    Gavin

    Had a good play with this.
    Very clever
    - It even automatically continues as slide show between two smart grids on the same page.

    I can see I will have to spend time reading all the Help File.
    It is not obvious to a new comer what all the widgets do, when just looking at the design gallery.

    Thanks again Egg & Acorn for pointing me to this technique.
    Time for bed now.

    Cheers

    Gavin, you are lucky that Egg contributed. I prefer pointing out the technique but Egg likes producing the example (with video).
    Our mutual pleasure is the Aha! moment when the technique is "understood" and can be applied and developed.

    Good to hear it suits your purpose, but a world of warning, if you use it on a variant, then the image sequences get messed up. I don't think this has been fixed yet.

    Aaahhhh!!! Thanks for the warning. Having yesterday finished converting my Model Rail Site to Xara, I had just tried to do a variant and thought I was going mad !!!
    The variant is correct but the original main is all to pot - seems to go down in columns - sort of, instead of across in rows. !!!!

    I presume Xara know about this.

    Thanks Gavin
