Text Properties dialog box

To display the Text Properties dialog box select Add Text on the Quick Tools Panel.

This option is available when editing the properties of a plain text object with the Manual Wrap style. Checking this option converts the plain text object to a Rich Text object.

If the text object is Plain Text the font and alignment settings you specify apply to the entire text object.

If the text object is Rich text the font and alignment settings you specify apply to the select text, just like a word processor.

Select the Style. Additional sub-styles and parameters may be available depending on which style is chosen.

The Manual Wrap style makes the text object display as it is entered without wrapping text, unless you manually create a line break (press ENTER) while entering the text. On the screen, portions of the text may not be shown if the object's bound is not large enough. All text is printed on the printer regardless of the bound size though.

The Auto Wrap style makes the text object automatically wrap its text to the size of its bounding rectangle.

The Maximum Fill style makes the text object automatically select a font size so that the text fills the bounding rectangle as much as possible.

The Auto Reduce style.makes the text object automatically reduce the font size when the text becomes too wide to fit in the bounding rectangle.

The Bar Code style makes a text object that displays its text as a bar code. You must enter text that can be rendered by the code.

Type	Specifies the type of the barcode.
Show Text	Specifies whether or not the text is displayed below the barcode.
Bar Width	Specifies the width of the barcode bars.

The Arc Text style makes your text display in an arc. The sub-styles specify full circle, 1/2 circle or 1/4 circle and the starting angle.

Sub Style	Specifies the part of a circle the text occupies
Start Degrees	The number of degrees to the starting point of the text measured from the right horizon.
Rotate Chars	Select Yes to rotate each character around the arc or No to leave each character unrotated.

The Radial Text style makes your text display like the spokes on a bicycle tire. You can optionally make the text get larger as it gets further from the starting point.

Direction	Specifies the direction of rotation.
Inner %	Specifies the size of the inner circle from which the "spokes" start from as a percentage of the size of the object.
Delta	Specifies the increase in point size.

Direction	Specifies the direction of the spiral.
