System (MCS) units. Available units are Inches, Feet, Yards, Miles,
Millimeters, Centimeters, Meters, and Kilometers.
Units

Text Type
Select one of the following:
■ Plain—Formats annotation text uniformly using the settings specified
for the layer in this dialog box. The text has no formatting information
itself.

the layer in this dialog box define the base formatting style. You can
override this formatting when you insert individual annotative text
features.

1627) when you create the annotation. Click Edit Expression to specify an
expression for this setting.
For more information on inserting annotations, see
Adding Text to a Text

and adjust the number as needed. If individual instances need a different
height, adjust the value in the SIZE column in the Data Table after you
insert the annotation instances.
Horizontal Alignment
Specify the horizontal alignment of the text. Click the expression to edit
it. Click Delete Expression to choose a value from a drop-down list.
