Overlapping font in text box - Designer Pro

[Steven Cox]

Hi all,

I have overlapping text in a text box when previewing in Firefox and Chrome. Looks fine in Explorer.

Any ideas?




Also, is there a way to the page title on the page automatically,...in repeating text?

Thanks, Steven

Steven, we need more than the screenshot.

Is the Heading a part of the same text area?
If not, bring it to the front and repel under.

Assuming the page title is the one under Web Properties > Page title, you can with a bit of code and use of Names.

Create a text area and insert "<Page title>", format to size and colour.
Still in the Text tool, highlight this phrase and Name it (Utilities > Names) 'pagetitle' and 'htmlblocktext'; adding both separately without the quoting.
In the Website > HTML Code (head), add:

<script>
document.getElementById("pagetitle").innerHTML = document.title;
</script>

Hi Stephen,

Can you send me your .web/.xar project file so we can see what is happening? You can find this file by going to File > Save as within Xara.

Thanks

I have found that if I copy and paste text from a column of type to which I have applied a custom style, the result is a total dog's breakfast.

Looks like your typical Captcha to me.

Gary, just tried without any hiccoughs.

Probably need your design file uploaded.

Open the Xar file and follow the instructions

I guess it would make sense that it's copying the line indents from the previous text area, which doesn't work well when inserted into a text line. Simply inserting the text into a text column or area would fix that.

Gary, it is simply that you have applied Fully Justify to a a Text Line that (technically) has no width.

If you change the justification, it unravels itself.
If you need to retain full justification, you have to paste into a text column or area.

UPDATE

I tried the same on one of my design pages and got better results.
On yours, if I use the Text tool and just click and type, the letters are entered in reverse (right to left), within a tight width.
I tried copying 'the ' from the left page to the right and go the same reversing.

Perhaps it is a bug when Fully Justified is part of the Normal text style.
