Text Flow To Multiple Columns in Designer Pro

Hi, usually if I mess around with Xara, I can find what I need, but this one has stumped me. Is it possible and how can it be done: create multiple columns of text that flow into each other...i.e. 3 columns of text from one 'bank' of text that automatically moves text from the bottom of each previous column to the top of the next without having to manually make those edits?

Also I noticed that images can be embedded into columns, so if the text flow works, would it also behave for images as well?

Thanks for any help up front.

Select the Text Area.
Right-click and pick Columns.

Any object can be Anchored to text.
If you also Repel text under and and place the object close to the anchor point then when you resize the columns the object flows with the text.
