Chapter 6: Text And Typography
To type new text inside an object:
1. Activate the Auto type into object preference (see "Setting preferences" on page 97).
2. Select a vector object.
3. Begin typing. Canvas adjusts margins so that text you type remains within the left and right
borders of the object.
If the object is too small to contain all the text you type, the text object extends below the object.
Resize the object to fit the text or resize the text object to fit the shape, and then flow any excess text
to another column.

Repelling text from objects
To make text flow around an object, apply a repel setting to the object. You also can set the amount of
space between the object and text it repels.
