Make sure Xara Web Designer 7 Premium is displaying the step you want to duplicate (click an object in
the step - the step number is displayed in the Presentation toolbar step list).
Right click and choose Presentation > Duplicate Step or click the
Duplicate step
button on the Presentation toolbar.
Alternatively in the Page & Layer Gallery right click the step you want to duplicate and choose
Duplicate Layer
.
Web Designer Premium displays the contents of the duplicate step, positioning the duplicated content in a
way that retains the pattern of any previous steps. For example, a duplicated bulleted list item retains the
spacing of list items already created. Select and edit the duplicated content as you wish. The step number
in the Presentation toolbar shows the new step number. The step is placed immediately following the step
that was duplicated.
Turning a layer into a step
If you have existing layers in your presentation, you can easily convert a layer into a presentation step:
1.
In the Page & Layer Gallery, right click the layer and choose Layer Properties or click the
layer and click Properties at the top of the gallery.
2.
In the Web transition tab of the Layer Properties dialog, click the Presentation layer checkbox
to select it and click Apply. The layer name becomes 'Presentation step 1'.
3.
Repeat for each layer you want to turn into a presentation step. Each step also keeps any
transition effects you applied to the layer.
4.
Now when you preview the presentation, each step can be displayed by pressing the keyboard
arrow keys, or any 'next/previous presentation step' links on the page.
Viewing step contents
Sometimes you may want a clearer view of exactly which objects are in a step. The best way to do this
is using the Page & Layer Gallery
. Click on the "S" (Solo) icon next to the step you want to view, to show only that step on the canvas.
Click the icon again to return to normal view.
As with ordinary layers, you can click and drag an object to move it from one step to another in the
Page & Layer Gallery
.
Adding new objects to an existing step
Right click the objects you want to add to a step and choose Presentation > Move to step
then choose the step number. The objects are automatically added to the selected step.
Alternatively click and drag the objects to a presentation step in the Page & Layer Gallery, or ensure
the presentation layer you want to add content to is the current step before you create or add the new
objects. All new content is placed on whichever layer is current. See the Steps and the Page & Layer
Gallery
for more information.
Note: If you inadvertently add objects to the wrong step/layer, you can easily move them to the step you
want - see Moving objects from one step to another
.
Moving objects from one step to another
You can move objects from one step to another step in one of three ways:

Right click the object(s) and choose "Presentation" > "Move to Step" then choose the
