I have e-mailed Xara regarding this problem as well. I live in Korea and would like to be able to include hangul and Chinese characters in my drawings (mostly business cards and letterheads).

As it is, I have to select and cut text from Microsoft Word and then paste as a metafile into Xara. It works, but then I can't edit anything.

What a pain. As an owner from v1.2 (which I admit I picked up out of a cut-out bin at "Incredible Universe" in 1996), I would have hoped this problem might have been solved in the four years since I've been using it.
