I agree with Jens. If you have an application with a spell checker then type into that then copy and paste to Xara in manageable chunks of text that can be placed as you wish etc.
I produce various text heavy items in Xara from booklets to menu's (you try spell checking a menu for a Chinese or Indian restaurant), and I produce the text so it can be spell checked in Word and paste in as needed.
I could use Quark, but then I'd have to paste in the graphics; or CorelDraw which would do everything (sort of), including ring the creativity bell and blow a whistle, but the best option I find for sanity and work flow is Xara coupled with Word.
Seriously a spell checker would be useful, so would the ability to scan direct into Xara and a number of other things too, but then you end up with 'XaraDraw Graphics Suite' which would be another 'jack of all trades, master of non' instead of undisputed master of what it does do ...... draw pictures.
