[Xerte] Re: Error: Youneed toselect media before you can preview it. - Foundword(s) list error in the Text body

Oddly it worked fine for me using your images. Sorry not to get back earlier: forgot charger, ran out of battery then returned home to BT engineer explaining lack of Internet in our road! Have a look at http://xerte5.techdis.palepurple.co.uk/play_7876

The images didn't all lend themselves to interactive pages but I just wanted to check they uploaded ok.
