Is it possible to Convert Text Column objects to text line objects.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Phil,

You can do so by selecting all in the text column and Ctrl+X (Cut) then in the text tool just click on the page and Ctrl+V (paste). It will retain any linefeeds from the text column, so if you want to remove these it's best to widen the original text column to a single line prior to the Ctrl+X step.

Thanks for your timely reply Egg... however, it doesn't quite resolve my problem. Your suggestion works if I were only doing one or two but I have a multitude I want to convert (not possible to do one at a time).
The issues resulted when I opened a corel cmx file.
any other thoughts sir?

Not without seeing the cmx file I'm afraid.

Select all the Text Columns on the page.
Copy & paste into NotePad.
Remove the unwanted CRLFs, replacing with a Space.

In Xara, select the Text Tool and click on the page to place a cursor.
Copy back out and paste into your Xara design page.

Are you sure it is from Text Column to Text Line you actually want and not the opposite?

That's what I was thinking and if not then WHY?

Egg,
I was able to resolve my problem by using a different format. Sorry to bother you but thanks again for helping me out.
