Importing 1.0 projects into 2.0

I tried to import and old 1.0 project into 2.0 but I'm having a problem with the menu. The old project had four image files that I had used as link buttons. After I save the old project in 2.0 and then re-open it, the four images are stacked on top of one another in the upper left hand corner of the menu. I also get an "overlapping links" warning. Anyone have any advice on how to solve this problem?

Click the group of images once and drag, the top one should come away from the ones below. Repeat to seperate the rest of them.

Below the Menu Preview Screen and to the right are 4 buttons.
Last but one button will display the object boundaries. It toggles the display on/off wiith each click of the mouse.

The boundaries are all out of whack and the images have huge black borders around them. The boundaries are supposed to include just the text and gold frames. When I go to move one of the stacked images, the corresponding frame moves as well because the boundary now encompasses both and lots of space in between.

I think in your case I would be tempted to create a new menu and use the existing one as a guide, flicking from one to the other.
You should be able to knock a new one up in a matter of minutes whereas you could spend all night trying to fix the broken one.

A rule of thumb I've developed over the years is to not try to swap versions in mid-stream, with any kind of video software. Forward/backward compatibility is never a given.
