TextArea for Artworks: New module adds wordprocessing to Artworks

• Multi-column text; you can change the number of columns at any time
  
• Column setup: you can specify the horizontal and vertical inset of columns from the text area border and the gap between the columns
  
• You can rotate, scale and resize text areas like other ArtWorks objects
  
• ArtWorks EPS and Draw export are supported
  
• The ArtWorks Undo system is fully supported
  
• Text areas behave like rectangle objects, so you can apply path styles to them, e.g. a line colour, a dash pattern for the border and a fill colour. This means that there is no need to create another rectangle if you want to put a frame around the text or if you want a coloured background.
  
• Text effects: Font, font size, font X:Y aspect, font colour (including anti-aliasing background colour), subscript, supercript
  
• Paragraph alignment (left-justified, centred, right-justified, fully justified)
  
• Line spacing and paragraph spacing control including space before/after paragraph
  
• Ruler control: line indent, paragraph first line indent, tab stops at equal distances
  
• Paragraph flow control: "Keep together" and "Force to next column" features
