Paul, the file is exactly as you have described; somehow in your efforts you have converted all the text other that the 28 and the title to grouped shapes - lots and lots of grouped shapes.
Both the 28 and "The History of the Bible 4" are on the Background layer.
These should be on a normal layer - Layer 1 is fine.
The page size is out of this world - 1,198mm x 1,500mm - why?
I have to work at 12% to view it in design; in preview is it way too big.
"The History of the Bible 4" is 200pt - why?
My mash-up
Bible4.xar is under 75kB, you're is almost 5MB.
I need to see your source, the thing you are importing into Xara.
We need to get back to basics.
