    ...and don't get me started on the Heath Robinson-esque nature of the Open Type nonsense that passes for an advanced Text Tool in Xara. It was probably conceived on the back of a cigarette packet, and it is already as outdated as that aforesaid medium for the conveyance of ideas.

    Come on Magix/Xara, this is probably the Last Chance Saloon for restoring credibility to the company before its few-remaining users (8?) disown it altogether.

    File > Import from web address.
    Really, type in a URL?

    Open into a pop-up that is a browser so the web can be navigate and the address bar detail is copied from it.
    Alternatively, create a browser extension that copies directly into a new Xara page.

    All a bit fanciful but start thinking.

    File > Publish Supersite, etc.

    When it is a Print document?

    Right-click on the design file icon to allow change of Document type.
    Few notice the icon fails to match most selections - fix that.
