I have a chain of 6 words which I want to split in half. I expected to select the 4th word, then hit "Split" but it breaks the chain between words 1 and 2.
How can the Split point be selected?
ThanksRichard

Are you working in word wrap mode?. Just pick the word at the point you want i.e. word 4 and drag it to where it wants ... the remainder will follow.
I think the Merge\Split are meant to work in Single Word mode.
clicking on the circle to the left of "your split point" and drag it away should work...

Richard,
Try clicking to the left of the 4th word (on the circle handle) and dragging to the right. That should separate them into 3 words each. When I do this, the 5th and 6th words are moved above the 4th word, although still linked. I'm not sure why it's doing that, but will check on it. I can drag the 5th word's circle handle behind the 4th word, and they'll line up again.
OK thanks ... this was what I did in Beta 1, so what is the point of Merge and Split?
The new toolbar button Join, was called Merge, takes anumber of text boxes and creates a single one out of them. This is differentthan attaching two text boxes together. The split option will take a singletext box and split it on spaces into a number of new boxes.
Richard ~ Is this working for you in Beta 4?
Hmmm ... I'm still not sure how this is meant to work. If I join a few words together (by dragging handles to form a chain) and then select "Split" it always chops off the first word.
But I think that Join and Split are meant to create and a single merged text object and separate it into individual words respectively?
Join and Split work on text items in line diagrams; they weren't really designed for the "wrapping column" text.
