Can't Reach Paragraph Spacing Tool

[harryd]

I'm sure the answer is obvious, but not to me. The problem is that I can't reach the Paragraph Spacing tool (item 10) on the Text Toolbar.

When I select the Text Tool, the Text Toolbar appears near the top as expected. However, on my screen, the Toolbar ends on the right with "Split Text Area Into Columns" tool (item 9) and there seems to be no way to shrink the width of the Text Toolbar so that I can reach the Paragraph Spacing tool.

Any ideas?

Is this what you mean, the ellipses for Show advanced text bar? This icon expands the text bar onto a second line.

On my screen, there are no ellipses. The bar just runs off the right-hand side of the screen. I hope you can enlarge the attached graphic. I'm new at this.

Your screenshot shows only the left part of the Text Toolbar while Gary's show the right part of it with, at the end, the button with the three dots/ellipses.

I think that's the point - the right hand end of the toolbar is beyond the right hand edge of the program window

usually that only happens if you reduce the size of the program window beyond a certain point - but your screenshot seems to show the program maximised [occupies the whole screen]... if it is maximised are you using your monitor/screen at it's native resolution?

Try resetting the toolbars.

I've tried resetting the toolbars, moving the toolbar to different location, etc. Nothing solves the problem.

There's nothing wrong with my monitor settings. Everything else works okay.

I had the same problem when I was new to Xara. Support didn't have an answer, but i finally figured it out: My screen resolution was set to low. Try changing your Display Settings to a higher resolution - my horizontal resolution now is 1280px and it works fine. I think my paragraph spacing tool was off the right side of the screen when I had the resolution at 1024.
