Create Single-Line Text
You can use single-line text to create one or more lines of text, where each
text line is an independent object that you can relocate, reformat, or otherwise
modify.
Use single-line text (TEXT) to create one or more lines of text, ending each
line when you press Enter. Each text line is an independent object that you
can relocate, reformat, or otherwise modify.
When you create single-line text, you assign a text style and set alignment.
The text style sets the default characteristics of the text object. The alignment
determines what part of the text character aligns with the insertion point. Use
the TEXT command to enter the text in-place, or enter -text to type text at
the Command prompt instead of in-place.
You can insert a field in single-line text. A field is text that is set up to display
data that might change. When the field is updated, the latest value of the field
is displayed.
The text styles used for single-line text are the same as those used for multiline
text. When you create text, you assign an existing style by entering its name
at the Style prompt. If you need to apply formatting to individual words and
characters, use multiline text instead of single-line text.
You can also compress single-line text to fit between points that you specify.
This option stretches or squeezes the text to fill the designated space.
The TEXTED system variable specifies the user interface displayed for editing
single-line text.
Align Single-Line Text
As you create text, you can align it. That is, you can justify it with one of the
alignment options shown in the following illustrations. Left alignment is the
default. To left-align text, do not enter an option at the Justify prompt.
