222 Text Handling

Internal borders between consecutive paragraphs
Borders are applied to the paragraph you have selected. If you have selected the whole
text object or multiple paragraphs within, you might notice that only one border has been
applied to what you have selected and not to each paragraph. This is because by default
Xara will do just that, however if you enable this option - Internal borders between
consecutive paragraphs - it will show the internal borders. For example:

Both these text objects contain the same text and paragraphs. The one on the left shows
what it would look like with internal borders turned off, and the one on the right with
internal borders turned on.

Text areas

In the TEXT TOOL if you click and drag diagonally on the page you will create a
rectangular text area. The blinking cursor will be positioned in the top left corner and you
can type or paste text.

A text area can contain a "flowing" text story. This is where a single piece of text flows
from one text area to another. It’s called flowing text because, like water, as you add or
remove text in one area it overflows into connected text areas or flows back from text
areas.
If the text overflows the bottom of the text area the overflowing text is shown gray,
although you can continue to edit this text as usual.
