Xara supports three basic type of text objects
- Simple text lines: Click on the page, and type.
- Text columns: Click and drag to create a column, and type.
- Text areas: Click and drag diagonally to create a rectangular area, and type.
After you've created any text object you can transform it (rotate, scale, skew) and can apply all the normal attributes, fill color, transparency, feather etc, using the normal tools. You can also attach it to a curve. The text will remain editable.
