    Default Anyone else having problems creating mobile variants in XDP18?

    I just updated to Version 18. I'm unable to create a mobile variant. Under Utilities / Mobile Variants, it's greyed out. Right clicking on the work area shows no menu choice to create a mobile variant.
    Anyone else experiencing this?

    Following up, in order to create mobile variants, I had to first create a blank page, then create variants. I don't recall having to do that with older versions. Might be wrong...

    When you go File/New/Web Page 960px/
    Xara opens with a blank page. Isn't your doing this?

    You only get access to a Variant menu when you have Web / Web (Presentation) set as the document type.

    Thanks for the input from all. As stated in my original edited post, I did figure it out.

    Your update is appreciated.

    Our comments generally are there to assist others who hit the same obstacle and may not understand what little thing changed has resulted in a loss of a capability.
    Egg's reply implicitly assumes you should be using a Web Template.
    I explained explicitly.
