    Default Finally... bulleted lists, eh? :-)

    This anchor-object-to-text-position feature is absolutely killer. Finally, a way to have fully automatic bulleted lists with arbitrary bullets! :-)

    1. Create some text, hit enter for each new entry, adjust 'Space after paragraph' to give some air between entries
    2. Create a bullet object, CTRL-X
    3. Select text tool, CTRL-V bullet object at the start of each list entry
    4. Selector tool, select all bullets, move to left accordingly
    5. Voila, edit text, and bullets move along

    It's fun how Xara is day after day more similar to my own in-house DTP software - I called this exact feature "Text parenting" and it worked EXACTLY the same.

    Yup and now try creating a new frame and text flowing into that. Do your bullets flow?

    Oh, are you saying they don't? Tomorrow, I've already turned off my second monitor

    The feature is a welcome addition to Xtreme for those, like me, that use it as a rudimentary DTP app, but it makes me think that it's a shame you can't edit the title of a post really, isn't it?
