Text box appearing as graphic online

[TT2Ride]

Hello,

Some texts on my website are appearing as image when published online. Those texts are not selectable from the web browser while some are.
I looked at the design on Xara again and there was no animation assigned.

Did I missed any setting to make it actual text or wrong formatting?
I am using Xara Designer Pro X

Any suggestions will help a lot. Thank you!

Hi TT2Ride and welcome to TalkGraphics.

Normally when this happens is because you've grouped the text with an image. Any groups in Xara are exported as an image & therefore of course the text is no longer text.

Check this out first and if you have further issues please get back.

Thank you Egg! I checked and they are not grouped with anything at all. The other thing I noticed was the text boxes might be too close to image. So I moved them away and repost. Same thing. I also changed the line spacing from negative to 0. Same thing.
Then I tried creating another text box and copy paste as text (from old to new) and it works! Interesting... unless the original text box was something else.

The only way I think we need your xar file or a cut down version of the same.

@TT2Ride, even the smallest rotation angle of a Text Area results in a graphic.

This a a failing with the Xara approach as CSS3 readily handles rotation:
<style> .className { transform: rotate(0.5deg); } </style>

Thanks Egg and Acorn!
Now for I fixed the problem with new text boxes. In the future I will pay attention to any slight modification to the text box, ie rotation or grouping. Great insight
