Text Style

   
You can customize the style of the text as it appears in Text and Text Annotation objects. This functionality is similar to most common word processor programs.

A Text object or Text Annotation object must first be added to your page (from the Insert menu) before you can assign style to your text.

Note: The style changes you make to one text object will only be applied to that object.

How to set the style of your text:

1. Click on your text object. Your selected object should have eight resize handles on it.

2. Select a portion (or all) of the text. The changes apply to the selected text only.

3. Select the style you want assigned to your text from the File menu. You can choose from the following:

  • Style
Bold, underline, or italicize text in a text or text annotation object
  • Text Color
Assign a color to your text
  • Text Size
Assign a font size to your text
  • Insert Character*
Insert a special symbol, such a Greek character or super/subscript numbers, into your text or text annotation object

*Special characters might not display correctly on Windows 98, or ME.

You can use the Character Map, found in Accessories/System Tools of Windows computers, to insert a
dditional characters into text and text annotation objects. (The default Doulos SIL font must be enabled). Mac uses the Character Palette, and is accessed by enabling the Input Menu in the International System Preference.
