Lou, glad to hear you are trying this program!
I use the next step up from XWDP.
They used to offer Xara Xtreme Pro and renamed it to Xara Designer Pro.
It has everything that XDP has PLUS MORE. More web features, Much better drawing tools. and LIVE copies.
Pricey but since it gets rid of so many other programs, it is worth it!
I finally built a new page with recommendations for favorite programs and Xara has my only affiliate links! Check out here:
http://www.awebwench.com/recommended.htmI have made a simple chart for XARA and under it is my RECOMMENDATIONS. Click that link to see my overall recommendations. And there is a full review and comparison of the web design vs Designer Pro on this forum.
For the number of sites you build/maintain, the types of things you do, the Designer Pro (XDP7) is the better choice for you.
As to the limitation of characters, can you send me a file with the HTML so I can test it?
I have an idea but it depends on what the code is and how it is used...
Would like to test it. You have my personal email....
