Changing the text attributes and properties 

The size, width factor, colour and font of existing texts can be changed.

Hint

The values entered for size and width factor are approximate and depend on the font selected.

Deleting text 

Any texts are deleted immediately without prompting for confirmation (can be undone with UNDO).

Moving text 

Any texts can be repositioned later. The attributes of the selected text still apply to the next new entry.

 

Hint

A function is implemented until it is aborted (<Esc> or right mouse button). Example, dragging: Select first text, move, fix, select next text, drag, fix..

Rotating text 

You can rotate free text clockwise or anticlockwise in 90° steps. The attributes of the selected text still apply to the next new entry.

Changing text size 

Specify the size for the next entry.

Factor 

Specify the size factor for the next entry.

Changing colour 

Specify the colour of the next entry.

Offset 

When Offset is switched on, the text is repositioned a few points upward and to the right, but only with the grid function switched on. This is really useful if text is to be written on lines which are drawn in the snap grid  (e.g. tables).

Copy immediately 

Text can be selected and immediately copied to any place on the page.
