Document handling

Starting a new document

Primarily, there are four different types of documents in Xara Web Designer Premium,
i.e. web page, presentation, photo and animation.

To start a new document choose "FILE" > "NEW"
This opens a sub menu with several pre-defined template documents to start from. The
first template is the default and is used to create a new document after starting Xara Web
Designer Premium. The Animation template is the default template for animation
documents.

The NEW DOCUMENT button on the Standard control bar creates a new
document using the default template (shortcut "Ctrl + N").
You can save your own templates with the "FILE" > "SAVE TEMPLATE" command – see
"Changing the template document (on page 495)" for details.

Opening an existing document

To open an existing document:

• Drag & drop a file. Select the file in Windows Explorer or on your desktop, and drag it
over an existing open document to import it into that document, or any other part of
the Web Designer Premium window to open the document.
• Or double click a Web Designer Premium file.
• Or to open a recently used file, select it from "FILE" > "OPEN RECENT"
• Or select "FILE" > "OPEN" (shortcut "Ctrl + O").
• Or click the OPEN button on the standard control bar.

The open dialog will be displayed. The dialog allows multiple file selection, "Ctrl
+ click" to select several files or "Shift + click" to select a range of files.
As in Explorer windows, you can switch the file display to a detailed or thumbnail
view with this button

If SHOW PREVIEW in the upper right corner is checked, the selected file is shown in an
even bigger preview (this does not work for a multiple file selection).
