Text flow

[pbready]

In the new XXtreme 3.2, can text be made to flow around objects, or can the text 'frame' itself be anything other than rectangular? CC's Impression which preceded Artworks on the RiscPC platform which begat Xara could do that and I guess the 'new' multi-column text function owes a lot of look-and-feel/code/algorithms to that venerated old DTP package ;-)

Unfortunately not.

Maybe they're then keeping that for the next paid upgrade :-(

I think I've read that this is something Xara want to do with their future text tool improvements. They haven't said when it'll happen though, I'm guessing soonish - i.e. within the next couple of updates.
