Self breakthrough report! But still not there.

What I have figured out is. I have ditched the text box in favour of a set margin (the margin box is basically the text box now)

I have now PLACED my text file in this space (the hover over icon for the Place, had Brackets ( ) ) and then the text Auto-Flowed.

This is GREAT and does exactly what I want for the text lines which FIT the margins. Longer words which go over, obviously go onto multiple pages. When I resize the text all of the text changes which is a bit of a problem.

The text flow creates the pages for me which is amazing. If I can crack getting the longer words to fit, the world is mine. Or I may sacrifice the design for a more condensed font?

Is auto resize a thing for pasted, auto-flowed text.

edit: There are no text boxes, just to confirm.
