Can this be done with Xara Designer Pro X?
I'm looking at Xara Web Galery and have I seen this page www.paulbennett-artist.com with the texts adapting to the width of the browser?
Can be done? Is there any tutorial?

No, it can't. The site is not a Xara-designed site. It is adaptive and is using an HTML DIV that scales with the browser width.
I say it cannot be done in Xara but it could, at a cost. The problem is the images.
Now I could include CSS code similar to:
<style>
#mememe {
min-width: 200px;
max-width: 500px;
width: 50vw;
}
</style>
to tweak the DIV holding the text but I would also need to override the current width with JavaScript. The hard work Xara has done with Repel text under all goes away and leaves a lot more bespoke coding.
As an effect is it clunky and becomes tiresome.
Xara's compromise is a reactive site that uses Variant, in which the designer controls the presentation not the viewer; especially important for an artist's site.
Potentially, Xara may be looking into adaptive solutions anyhow...

I agree re the repel text under but I think they're getting there.
HERE'S my best shot at it

Hi Acorn, completely baffled here. The OP's original question was:
Doesn't my demo do exactly that? Not only the text but the images.... with the texts adapting to the width of the browser?
In what way?... all this is doing is scaling the page so it is not really comparable

Egg, OP gave an example site. That did not scale the text, only the container.
A different mechanism is in place.
