Web Designer Premium places each repeating object inside a repeating group
If you want to edit an item inside this repeating group, press "Ctrl + click" on the item to select it inside
the repeating group. You can also double click on a group to edit it in a new sub-document view (or right
click on it and choose Open
from the context menu). It contains only the contents of the group and not the group itself, so you can
select all the direct children of the group just by clicking on them.
Alternatively if you go into a specific tool you can usually click directly on any object that is applicable to
that tool and it will be selected inside its repeating group (or any other type of group). So for example
you can select a Quickshape that's inside a repeating group by simply going into the Quickshape tool and
then clicking on the shape.
As with any other edits made to a repeating object, any edits you make inside a repeating group are
applied to all instances of that repeating object on other pages.
Locking a repeating object
You can lock a repeating object right clicking it and choosing Lock repeating object
. Once locked, the object is not selectable. But editing any other copies of that repeating object on other
pages, which aren't locked, will change all copies, including the locked copy.
Headers/Footers
You may have pages in your site of varying lengths and want some repeating objects to be positioned
relative to the top of each page and others (e.g. footers) positioned relative to the bottom of each page.
You can configure Xara Web Designer 7 Premium to do this, so header and footer repeating objects will
move with respect to the top and bottom of each page.
The position of a repeating object on the page determines whether it is considered to be a header or
footer. If any part of the object is in the top half of the page, Xara Web Designer 7 Premium treats it as a
header and will move it to the same position relative to the top of each page.
Objects entirely in the bottom half of the page are treated as footers and Xara Web Designer 7 Premium
positions them relative to the bottom of each page, irrespective of page length.
For some repeating objects, this automatic decision making about whether the object should be
positioned relative to the top or bottom of pages may be inappropriate. So if required you can force any
repeating object to be positioned relative to the top or bottom of pages by right clicking on it and
choosing "Repeat position" > "Top" or "Repeat position" > "Bottom".
To restore normal automatic positioning behavior to a repeating object, right click it and choose "
Repeat position" > "Automatic"
