Text Flow

[Theo]

On many web sites the text flows to the width of the window so if you reduce the window width the text flows to reflect this. On the simple web sites that I have constructed the line length is fixed so that narrowing the window causes the text lines to be cut.

How do I get the text to reflow as the window width is changed?

Hi Nick

Because XWD is a visual layout application (WYSIWYG), you can't. At least not easily and not that I would know to tell you.

Many thanks.

This seems to me quite a limitation. Do you know of any products which give the same graphic control and allow the text flow that I was asking about?

Don't think of it as a limitation. It's the fundamental mechanism that gives you, the page designer, absolute control over what the page looks like. The design can't be mucked around with by a browser after you've created and published it.

Export your Xara-designed page and then remove all the CSS. That'll give you the nice liquid text you're looking for. But you could have done that in Notepad in the first place I guess.
