Inserting Amazon links - Web Designer Pro

[Paul in Sussex]

Another question...
If you look at: http://www.own-boat-tuition.co.uk/bo...20building.htm you will see that each product has a text box, a block of text and a graphic - which is also the Amaxon link.

If I make any changes it all goes wrong. Can I make the text box, text and graphic all move together so I can move things up or down, or add another product mid-column?

Many thanks for yor help.
Kind regards
Paul

Paul, select all the objects and Soft-group them.

Hi Acorn - thanks for that. I was trying to select multiple objects incorrectly - but I have it sorted now.

Another question (for anyone - I feel guilty for monopolising Acorn), my website at: http://www.own-boat-tuition.co.uk/yacht%20designers.htm is a list of books. It works fine on a PC screen but at 640px (tablet) the link images are too big. When I try to make them smaller the image doesn't reduce - it just loses an edge or whatever and results in an odd looking half-picture.
So - does anyone know how to make an Amazon link image smaller? Any general design input welcome - I am not a graphic designer.
Regards

Paul, on Main, your book inserts have text and image grouped. This is wrong as you are offering up a collated image. You need to ungroup and apply Soft-group instead.

When done, the image placeholder will be easier to scale the width and height values for the Variant.

Hi Acorn
Thanks again for your input.

I am wondering if Xara is the best platform on which to create an 'affiliate' website? The received wisdom seems to be that one should use Wordpress. I have had little experience of WP but what I have had I didn't like. It seems difficult and restrictive - rather like Joomla etc.

Thanks again

Paul, it is always better to start a new Thread with a new ask.

Can you do that and also define what you mean by an "'affiliate' website". I can only guess it is linking away to somewhere else and any purchase made gives you a kickback.
