Simply drag a new design out of the Designs Gallery and drop it on to the existing navigation bar in your document, and all instances of the NavBar will be changed to the new design.   PRESS REVIEWS "So why would you use Xara Web Designer 9 Premium rather than another program such as Adobe Dreamweaver? The answer is that the former provides far too many options that allow you to create content rich pages with amazing visual fidelity -- such as online slides -- thus Web Designer 9 Premium is a very capable program that can be an integral part of your web design software collection." Xara Web Designer 9 Premium reviewed by Indezine
