Quick Reference

To format characters in multiline text

1. Double-click a multiline text object to open the In-Place Text Editor.
2. Select the text you want to format:
   • To select one or more letters, click and drag the pointing device over the characters.
   • To select a word, double-click the word.
   • To select a paragraph, triple-click the paragraph.
3. On the toolbar, make format changes as follows:
   • To change the font of the selected text, select a font from the list.
   • To change the height of the selected text, enter a new value in the Height box.
   • To format text in a TrueType font with boldface or italics, or to create underlined or overlined text for any font, click the corresponding button on the toolbar. SHX fonts do not support boldface or italics.
   • To apply color to selected text, select a color from the Color list. Click Other to display the Select Color dialog box.
   • To set an obliquing angle for the text, enter a value between -85 and 85. A positive value slants text to the right. A negative value slants text to the left.
   • To change letter spacing in the selected text, enter a new value.
   • To change the width of characters in the selected text, enter a new value.
4. To save your changes and exit the editor, use one of the following methods:
   • Click OK on the toolbar.
