Thank you Chris - your help and insight very much appreciated too. I tried the reinstall as you suggested but the REPAIR icon was grayed out so I had to completely remove then re-install the program. I ran the installer as Administrator but am still having the exact same problems. In the meantime, I've found a work-around by copying all objects of a given page then creating a new page and pasting the objects into the new page - for my purposes it'll work until a solution is found. I've also submitted a support ticket to XARA an am awaiting a reply.

Thanks again for your help!

Eric
