Let me turn this dialog around in direction, because voicing discontent isn't as productive as planning for the future.

If I were to sit down tomorrow and begin a tutorial:

• What area of Xara Designer Pro would be addressed? Examples: DTP, Live Effects, drawing in general, what?

• Is there a special feature or a special technique you'd like to learn about?

I will be teaching again, sooner than later, and I'd appreciate everyone's help with what I did right and what I did wrong on Xara Xone, so I can accentuate the positive and eliminate the negative (as the song goes).

TIA,

Gary
