Repelling text objects
You can make any object in MAGIX Xtreme Print Studio repel text so that text underneath it
automatically flows around the object, instead of appearing on top of it. This makes it easy to lay out
pages containing long passages of text combined with photos and graphics. Once you've set them to
repel, you can adjust the positions of your graphics and photos and the text will automatically adjust and
reflow around them.
Making an object repel
To make an object repel text, select the "Repel text under..." option in the Arrange
menu to bring up the repelling properties dialog. Or right click on the object and select the same option
in the right-click menu.
If desired, set a repel margin
for the object. This
determines the size of the
margin between the edges of
the object and the text that it
repels. To close the dialog
and turn on the repel text
option click on "Repel
".
To turn off repelling simply bring up the repelling properties dialog for the object and click on "Don't
repel
". Note that repelling text objects only repel text that is underneath the objects, not any text that is on
top.
Note that single lines of text do not respond to repelling objects, only text areas and text columns do.
