[apologies for three posts in a row]
ok - if the file is opened in xara xtreme - the text is ok, but the image is not rendered - if you export from xtreme in cmx5 format then:
if you reimport the cm5 into a new xtreme document and then save that as a xar file, that xar will open in designer pro without any apparent problems
but if you import the cmx5 file directly into designer pro, although the image renders you still get internal error if you try to edit or move it
if you cannot get your hands on xtreme then you can try exporting from CorelXara in one or more of the corel cmx formats if CorelXara will do that - but you may have to play with the CorelXara file first, look to any applied ttransparency or other effects and to any text formatting for example.... and there is no guaratee that will work because my best guess after playing with it is that the CorelXara exported bitmaps do not play well with the modern Xara way of handling images as 'bitmap filled vector shapes'; and whilst there is backward compatibility to a xar saved from Xtreme, not as far back as CorelXara
here are the files - had to zip the cmx5 as the forum does not accept that format directly
CMX5 file.zip
XAR saved from Xtreme.xar
good luck, maybe someone else will have better ideas, meanwhile Bank Holiday weekend over... back to the real world for me...
