OK I think you will find this is the problem.

With version 2.18 the individual page templates were introduced, as part of the official release and replacing the "page wizards" which had been provided as a separate additional download.

However these individual page templates are not intended to be used in a project in desktop Xerte that has been created by doing "File / New".
If instead of creating a new project by doing "file / new" you create your project by doing "Pages / Create new Page Project" then the project created will contain additional code to provide support for the individual page templates. Amongst other things it sets a flag to ensure that the code in the page's model file looks in the right place for the xml data. The problems you are experiencing are in part due to the model files not locating the xml data.

Your project has a mix of pages you have created yourself and pages that use the individual page templates. Once you have been able to create a "Page Project" and have proven to yourself that the page template works you should be able to duplicate the pages you created yourself in the new "Page Project".

I am sorry for the difficulty you are experiencing. This issue is known.I thought that the latest release of Xerte only offered the individual page templates if you had created a "page project". I could be wrong in this. What is needed is a tidying up of the menu system so that "File / New" offers options to create a standard Xerte project, a Pages Project or a XOT style project (formerly known as page templates). At present the development focus is on getting the next release of XOt with the the html5 pages completed.

Kind regards

I'm using Xerte version 2.18
The project I'm having has contained a lot already but I also tested on a new project and also giving the same result (no d/d display). 

I created a new project. Drag text icon and typed some random text. Next I go to File > Publish to test it on web server. Then I wanted to create dragDropLabel to I go to Pages > Interactivity > Drag and Drop Labelling and dialog box asks 'Open wizard' and I clicked 'Yes' then I entered details in Page Title, Text, upload the graphic from media folder, align text Left,  enter some details in Image ToolTip then I clicked New Hotspot and enter the required details as normal and edit image for highlighting some area of the graphic.

Oh I see.
So for now there's nothing I can do with it then? Or do you have a suggestion?

OK, the fact that I have template.xml and you have draganddrop.xml means we're working with different versions or a different set of templates.That introduces some variables that will make it real difficult to troubleshoot.

 When I substitute
		<dragDropLabel linkID="PG1366649139626" name="Test yourself" text="Match the code with every pseudo code line" url="FileLocation + 'media/1.JPG'" align="Left" highlightColour="0xFFFF00" showHighlight="true" tip="Code for Individual Initialization" tryAgainTxt="Try again">

			<hotspot name="Randomize product" text="Generate product randomly" x="59.4763636363636" y="256.887272727273" w="315.098181818182" h="50.6181818181818" />

		</dragDropLabel>
into my template.xml file, it works as expected in Play, though Preview produces nothing, not even a window.

Yes that's correct. Just left or right in the drop down.
I attached the graphic x: coded and y: 30

I think the wizard just gives you left or right in the drop down.

Could it be positioned off-screen? What are the X and Y properties of the graphic in Xerte?

There's no template.xml in my project root. Did you mean my publised work which is index.html or the xml files that are in the languages folder (I
 attached them)? I also attached the graphic from the media folder.

Yes. I pressed the play button also didn't work.

The image parameter is 'FileLocation + 'media/1.JPG' - you may refer to the attached image
