Errata—printed manual

Page 32 (grammatical error). "If you contact Xara support with, you may be asked for this information" should read "If you contact Xara support, you may be asked for this information."

Page 42 (information). The full stop is better known as a period period key in US English.

Page 88—rotating using the mouse. To create the fan effect shown at the bottom of the page you will need to click the bottom left button of the 3x3 transformation center control, not the bottom right button as described.

Page 108—enveloping. Where the manual describes applying enveloping, step 3 has the wrong image (perspective options are shown instead of envelope options). The image should appear as follows:
Envelope options

Page 109—envelope molds (gramatical error). "Your can create..." should read "You can create...".

Page 160—fractal fills (gramatical error). "... how noticeable are the individual pixels" should read "... how noticeable the individual pixels are".

Page 167—applying transparency to several objects. The opening paragraph has gramatical problems that may make it hard to understand. The paragraph should read: "If you group objects and apply transparency, the whole group is treated as one object and the entire group is made transparent. But if the objects are not grouped and you apply transparency, each individual object is given a separate transparency and you get an entirely different effect when the objects are overlaid."

Page 195—minimum size. The heading minimum size should say minimum area.

Page 254 (grammatical mistake). "Defautl Live Effect resolution" should read "Default Live Effect resolution."

Page 257 (grammatical mistake). "Show progress car" should read "Show progress bar."
