Creating a step
Add new content to your page the same way you do with ordinary website documents. Normally since
the current layer will be the MouseOff layer, this content will be visible as soon as the page loads. To
make objects part of a presentation step, so they can be revealed incrementally:
Select the objects and click the Make new step button on the
Presentation toolbar, or right-click and choose "Presentation"
> "Move to step" > "New step"
.
The step list in the Presentation toolbar displays the step
number. If there are already several steps on the page, the new
step becomes the last step with the highest step number. The
default transition for a new step is Instant
. You can easily change this - see Applying transitions.
Alternatively in the Page & Layer Gallery select the page you want to add the step to and click New
Layer. Right click the layer and choose Layer Properties. In the Web Transitions tab of the Layer
Properties dialog, click the Presentation Layer
checkbox to select it. You can also use this tab to apply a transition to the new step.
Click Apply
and the new layer is now displayed as a step. When this step is the currently selected step, any objects
you add to the workspace are automatically added to the step.
Duplicating a step
Perhaps the easiest way of creating a step is by duplicating an existing one.
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
