Instead of creating multiple text areas manually and connecting them up, Pro X9 (and Page & Layout Designer 9) introduces a direct, easier way to create multi-column flowing text areas. Text is cropped off the bottom of the box if it overflows, but you can link it to another text area to flow into. Text Areas Click and drag diagonally to create a text area of the desired width and height (sometimes called a text box or frame). Text is formatted into the column width and grows downwards unbounded. Text Columns Click and drag horizontally on the page to create the desired column width. You can use the Enter key to start a new line. Simple text has no bounds and continues off the page if you continue typing. Simple text Just click on the page and type. Multi-column text All Xara Designer products support three types of text item you can place on the page, available via the Text Tool: 1.
