I need advice on using the text features to format a marketing brochure, although this would apply to anything really where there is lots of text and a fixed container. The brochure has a front and back and is 2 column with some graphics (text repelled). I am trying to figure out the best approach to ensure that I do not have a multitude of different text scales. I hope that makes sense.

Is it best to simply type all the text - either in boxes or columns (with a mixture of headings and sub-headings and when the content is final just re-size the boxes/columns?

I understand this is not directly a Xara question but I would appreciate the help.

Also where is it usually best to use text boxes unless the column of text extends down the entire page?
