Is there a way to make and scroll multi-line text without breaking up the text and scrolling bits of it? Sorry trying to do it in Xara 3D 7 which I am considering.

Yes :) OOPPss hold on - my mistake - just seen the 3d7 bit :o
Hello Kenneth - I am not sure but I think you can. The best way to find out is download the free trial version and you have 30 days to see if you can make it work :)
I have downloaded the trial version, but being kinda dense I can't even get multi-line text. When I type in one line and hit enter the whole thing disappears. So I make one line and it will scroll up or down, but then it starts scrolling a word then two then more, it is really screwed up. I am looking for something like the start of the Star Wars movies where the beginning text scrolls up and disappears .
Have you tried ctrl+enter for a new line?
I tried that and it works the same as just enter.
Well I finally got it to make more than one line. I still don't understand why the enter key would be used to delete a line.:p
Hi Kenneth,
The Enter Key does not delete text but puts in a page break so new text is on a new page.
Hold a Shift Key down to enter a line break rather than a page break.
Let me get this straight. If I type a word and hit the Enter key it advances to a new page where the next word I type appears? That is really weird. I hope Xara never comes up with a plain text editor.
It is a bit disconcerting especially since it is different from the behaviour of Xara3D6.
I think the change was made because many people use the different pages with their animations.
Personally I would have kept the Enter key as the line break and made Shift+Enter the page break. ;)
It is different than any other editor. Now All I have to do is get a smooth scrolling and not disjointed as it is. Anyone come up with smooth scrolling?
Now all I need is smooth multi-line scrolling that is not disjointed. Sorry about the double posts. Did not see I had already said this.
I have decided against purchasing Xara 3D Maker 7 because of the quirks in the editing and the scrolling that is terrible. If Xara ever gets around to fixing the next version I will revisit. Thanks to all who replied to my query's.
