Importing images from the Web

You can import graphics from Web pages directly from the Internet into your document. Notice the difference between this menu option which loads all the graphics from the specified web page and Import which loads a single graphic from disk.

To import from a Web page

1. From the File menu, choose Import from Web.

2. Type in the web address (URL) of the page or graphic you want to import. If the URL is a page, all the images on that page will be imported.

3. Click Import.

Tips

For a list of types of file Xara LX can load, see the List of Supported File Formats.

For details on what URL's you can enter, see the Web Address Overview, but note that you can only use HTTP and FTP URLs.

You can paste web addresses from Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer into the name field of the Import from Web dialog box. To do this (1) select the web address in Navigator or Explorer; (2) press CTRL+C to copy the address to the clipboard; (3) click in the name field of the Import from Web dialog box; (4) press CTRL+V to paste the address. This is an easy way of copying a web address.

If the HTML page uses frames, graphics within those frames are not imported.

Any background image becomes the background of the Xara LX page.

If you have problems downloading over the Internet you may need to set up options in the Internet tab. Choose Options on the Utilities menu
