Just trying to save bandwidth, probably. It's a sickness.
To expand somewhat, the feature that XPress lacks is the ability to
wrap text around *both sides* (left & right) of an object. Otherwise, the
process is:
1. select irregularly-shaped object.
2. select "Item->Runaround."
3. choose a runaround style. If the object's a XPress-created
polygon, go with "Item." For an imported irregular shape, go with "auto
image." You can subsequently switch to "manual image" to tweak the
runaround shape.
That's it.
