WEBSITE AND WEBSITE GRAPHICS CREATED WITH XARA XTREME PRO
H 1 2 3 4 Download Zipped Tutorial
A question that appears in the TalkGraphics Xara Web forum more times
that one would care to admit is “Can I import a website I created in
another program into Xara?” The short answer is NO. But where there’s
a will there’s a way. In this tutorial, Ms. Guest will show you how to
recreate an existing web page, in this case the first page of the Special
Edition Workbook First Look at Xara Web Designer 6. You can do this in
Web Designer 5 or Xara Xtreme as well. But if you have not tried the
new and improved Web Designer 6, why not download the free, fully
functinal trial version and work through this tutorial?
We’ll begin by downloading all the graphics from the home page. This is
easy to do.
From the File menu, select Import Graphics from Web...
Copy and paste this URL into the Import dialog
www.xaraxone.com/webxealot/workbook81/ and press Import.
All images from the web page are imported including the bitmap fill
applied to the home page, and mouse off and mouse over buttons. Now
all we have to do is to get the graphics resized where necessary and in
the right places.
Open the Page and Layer Gallery (F10). Select the MouseOff layer then
press New. Name the new layer Template. Drag the title bar for the
Template layer to the bottom of the list.
If you receive the above error message, just click OK. The images will
download anyway (don’t ask!)
