Layout text editing needs serious upgrade to meet professional standards.
Editing
- Direct WYSIWYG text editing in the Layout
- Special characters and symbols (non-breaking space, non-breaking hyphen...)
- Active hyperlinks in the text body
- Clear indication of text box overflow
- Dynamic text drop-down list (choose from most used presets)
Formatting
- Tab and Paragraph formatting – indents and spacing (show formatting marks)
- Partial text formatting – interactive paragraph and character formatting (no formatting tags)
- Vertical alignment of the text in the text frame
- Bulleted and numbered lists
- Possibility to set different column's width (draw column margins), insert column breaks
Management
- Threading text frame – link text elements and allow text to flow
- Direct conversion between various types of text elements (e.g. line text to text frame)
- Paste text from Word as text element with formatting – not EMF picture
