'Repel text under' problem

[glenngosack]

I loaded your file, copied the text to the clipboard, deleted yours, recreated the text area by using the text tool, click and drag a rectangular area large enough for the text, then pasted the text back in... the repel works fine.

Oops, how odd. As it was still open in Xara, I have saved it again, closed and opened at it looks like it's where it should be.
At least not I know how to upload this.. ;-)

Excuse my bad typing, I have only had coffee, honest :-)

Grenou,

The green text box is empty. The text itself is a text line. You have two text items - a text line, and an empty text box.

Using the text tool:
Highlight the text, right click and go to "Cut text". Click on the text box and paste the cut text into it.

It will then repel fine.

Thanks, I will have a go at that.
Thanks also for being so patient!
:-)

Follow up:
I re-typed the text, rather than cutting and pasting and it worked, yippee!

Thanks chaps, you're brilliant :-)

Good call Keith. That method works perfectly. I had a little trouble with that also until I realized what you did.
