Can text be stretched vertically by few pixels? I do not want to turn it into bitmap. I am talking about a font.

Uncheck the 'Lock Aspect Ration Box' and stretch away! Remains editable font.

Cool, but sadly it will not work.
Right click on the small lock icon, and uncheck [ ] Smart Transform
Then disable [ ] Aspect Ratio Lock.
@gwpriester, man, this answer of yours makes me wonder how many of these 'hidden' features are buried inside the user interface.
I'm pretty sure this specific popup is not mentioned in the user manual, am I wrong?
Never knew about that right click popup either. Handy to know.
It is not a case of "handy to know"; Xara has fudged the UI with the Smart Transform hidden on a right-click of an icon (Aspect Ratio).
It is no wonder people don't know of it or are able to discover it by chance as it is the only such control in the whole of the UI.
Yes, you can find it in the Help or PDF Manual if you realised there was a thing called Smart Transform.
The history of all this is in TG Thread on squishy/squashy: https://www.talkgraphics.com/showthr...ing-megathread.
I instinctively use the Alt key when dragging even when I know Smart Transform is off.

Agree Acorn.
Thank you everyone. I am sure that right click method will be forgotten by myself very soon, not easy to remember.
