It may be that all you need to do is addname2="some text"in the newNodes section of your xwd file after the entry for url="Whatever text you are using as the default for this attribute"

Coincidentally, name2 is exactly what I originally tried.Is the "newNodes" section actually creating the object, or just giving it a value so the value doesn't appear as "undefined"?
This is how imageViewer appears for me in the newNodes section
      <imageViewer><![CDATA[<imageViewer name="Dave Enter Page Title" align="Left" url="Select an Image" newTextField="Enter some new text">Enter text for the page here</imageViewer>]]></imageViewer>

This is not a 2.17 or 2.18 issue 2.18 you should be able to use 2.18
Look at the example I just sent you and see if that makes things clearer.
It may be that all you need to do is add

name2="some text"
in the newNodes section of your xwd file after the entry for 
url="Whatever text you are using as the default for this attribute"

Kind regards

OK, I reverted to 2.17 after running into issues with 2.18.I imagine that's why I can't find it.

Sorry for not being able to reply to you any earlier.

You can find a copy in your xerte installation folder e.g.
c:\xerte\pages\wizards\en-GB\

Kind regards

To keep things simple you could simply paste the modelAnswer parameters section as a child of the image viewer  element. This would avoid any issues with the two pages having any parameters with the same name. 

If you open scenario.xwd you can see an example of something similar
The page level element is <scenario> and the child elements of scenario are<gamesetup>

<scenarioActions><proplist>
The <pageWizard><newNodes> section declares both the scenario element parameters and its children's parameters so that when a new page is created it already has its child elements populated with default data.

Once you get your example working remember if you want it to co-exist with other Xerte page types that you should give any element that is a top level element in a <newNodes> block a unique name that is not used in any of the other page types. Your model file will then need editing (use search and replace in Flashdevelop) to replace the original name with the new name.

Hope this clears things up if not post back and I will try and answer any further questions.
Kind regards

How difficult will it be to fuse 2 items?
I'm trying to make a template page that has the Image Viewer occupying the up area with the Model Answer in the Lower.I think I can work out the template itself, but not sure how to adapt the Image Viewer Wizard to include the Model Answer params.
