Another question for all you Xara smarties...

I have a two separate areas of text (basically, two columns). In the middle/between these two columns, I want to place a box and have the text in both of the two "columns" flow around it (making something to look sort of like the page of a magazine article).

I figured out how to repel text. However, it is only repelling the text in the right column. I have brought the text in the left column to the front (as the Help instructions advise), tried repelling again and still only affects the text in the right column. I then tried to bring a sample object over from the Galleries and that one, too, only repels the right column of text and not the left one.

Anyone know what I need to do to accomplish this?
