We will now make it wrap around an object.

There are even more clever things that you can do with the text. Tip – you can also use the shortcut (Ctrl+Return). All the text after the page break will now appear in the first linked text area on the next page. To insert a page break into a text area, use the Text tool and right-click at the point in the text where you want the break to occur. You can easily change the number of columns again, simply right click on the text and select how many columns you want. Select to change ‘all text areas’ and then ‘convert’ – there will now be 3 columns set up so that the text you enter will flow automatically from one column into the next. With the Text tool still selected, right click on the text and then select ‘columns’ and enter 3.

Now we will change this page so that we have 3 columns across the full width of the page. (Note, you will find this has already been set in Design Gallery templates intended to be multi-page, e.g. We want it to overflow on to a new page, so click on the flow arrow in the bottom right of the text box and turn on the option to ‘Automatically create new pages’. When text overflows the bottom of a text area it will turn grey and you will see a 'flow arrow' that you can drag to any other empty text frame to create a flowing text story. Select the Text tool and add more text so that it overflows. We will add more text into the left hand column so that the second column overflows to automatically create a new page. The text in the first column of this template has been set to overflow into the second column.


– you can, of course, make them not repeating, if you wish – select the repeating item, select the ‘Arrange’ menu then ‘Stop updating’). (Generally, the brochure and newsletter templates in Xara Page & Layout Designer already have the obvious objects set as ‘repeating’ i.e. For future reference, note that these objects will have a small flower symbol shown in the top right corner when they are selected. Select the heading, right click on the mouse and choose ‘Repeat on all pages’. We will make all of the heading elements repeat on any pages that we add to this brochure. These are called ‘Repeating Objects’ and whenever a change is made to one, it will be made on all the pages. The heading text, header design and page footers are good examples. It’s common to have some items that are the same on all pages of your document.
