    Default Change size of text box leaving font size the same.

    I create a text box and paste in the info into it. Now I want to resize the box to fit the space available but the handles end up changing the font size. I need the software to change the auto line feeds as the box's size is changed.

    Thanks Wallace

    Thanks. I needed to select the text tool. There are a few different user conventions in this package. So far, it is great. Big step up from my current package.

    Yeah, I agree. There are a few things to learn but then that's why we are here.

    Can I put a table into the page ? No calculations, just columns of text and data.

    Seems strange working on webpages while the city center is flattened.
    Really a surreal situation.

    Create your table in OpenOffice Calc and then just copy and paste into Xara (paste as EMF)

    Or create the table in MS Word and copy and paste.

    Or... Create your own. See this Guest Tutorial.
