    Default Re: Align column text across cols

    GARY!!!!! YES!!!! What excellent ideas. THANK YOU! I don't mind working around. But I couldn't stand to submit a brochure with misaligned columns.

    You are right. It is so odd to find a DTP program without it. Makes for an amateurish finish if you can't workaround it. And yes, they need someone like us, who know the ancient wisdom (even if they can't remember the name for it!), to help them. Print is print. It needs printerly methods. I went on a course for TWO weeks just for kerning!

    These arts are going to be lost.

    Thank you everyone, thank you, for trying to help me here, and behind the scenes. You are the best thing of all about Xara, and I appreciate it.

    Have a good evening.

    That's because XDP, which I love for what it excels at, ain't really a DTP application. Maybe in a wannabe but never realized sense, but such things are simply not its strengths.

    Smartest thing I've read in these couple threads.

    If someone tried to make me dig my own grave I would say No.
    They're going to kill me anyway and I'd love to die the way I lived:
