By the way. Every so and so often Xerte3 stops working on my machine, when I try to preview my piece. So, it is still beta and it all in all works quite stable. Just to let you know. The windows problem report tells me the following:

Problem signature:
  Problem Event Name:	APPCRASH
  Application Name:	Xerte3.exe
  Application Version:	3.0.0.0
  Application Timestamp:	4b8ec3ff
  Fault Module Name:	StackHash_60fb
  Fault Module Version:	0.0.0.0
  Fault Module Timestamp:	00000000
  Exception Code:	c0000005
  Exception Offset:	01e904f3
  OS Version:	6.1.7600.2.0.0.256.48
  Locale ID:	1033
  Additional Information 1:	60fb

I'm working on Windows 7 in a Parallels installation on my Mac. So there are many players involved ... Also sometimes it complains about something with the C++ runtime ... before it stops working. If it helps I will include the error message when it comes up again.
Will there be by any chance a Mac Version of Xerte3 in the longer run?

I'm now on creating the 12th page of my piece and clicking eleven times to see it is doable, but not very convenient (on the other hand this makes sure that you keep your e-learning piece focussed on the most important topics :-)).
