Xara Designer Pro+ Web Blocks - Sliders - Slider 25 Editing Question

[Operaman1]

I've been working with the new Web Blocks for a few weeks now and still finding my way around. I am using slider 25, and trying to resize the text box; make it narrower. When I attempt to resize the text box it bounces back to the original dimension. What am I missing / doing wrong.

See attached.

Using the Selector Tool, Ctrl+Click on the Panel behind the Text.
In the Page & Layer gallery, locate the selected Shape and click onto its Text Panel.
You can then drag the sides and the Text will flow in place.

The other approach is to double-click on the Web Block.
This opens anew tab (Edit Inside ...).
I then double-click again to select the Text Panel...
Remember to press Ctrl+S to Save your changes.

I have tried your suggestions, but for some reason I am not able to click inside the 'Slider Group' to edit the individual objects held within it. I've tried double clicking and also tried selecting the Text Area from the Page and Layer gallery. But the Text Area object remains 'unselectable'. I've also tried adjusting the width value from the selector toolbar too, but after typing in a new value for width, it reverts to the original value (720.1px). Odd.

I've attached a .xar file with just the Slider (#25) in question.

I see the problem.

Switch to the Text Tool and click into the Text Area. Click on the Black Circle with the White Down Arrow (bottom right) and select Shrink text on overflow.

The Text Area can now be adjusted to suit.
