the selected text and to all subsequent text you type.
To change the text settings for a selected caption or atom label:
1. Select the text to change with a selection tool.
2. Set the appropriate options on the Text menu.

Biopolymer settings
You can specify how the sequences and residues appear in either the entire document or for a specific sequence, as
follows:
For the entire document, go to File>Document Settings and select the Biopolymer Display tab.
For an object, use the Object Settings dialog box.
In the biopolymer Display tab, select from these options:
Residues per line. specify the number of residues to be displayed in each line of the sequence.
Residue per block. specify the number of residues to be displayed in each block of the sequence.
Amino-acid Termini. Set either NH2/COOH or H/OH as the termini in the sequence.
Note: When the termini are displayed using the NH2/COOH style, the underlying atoms are actually H and OH.
The labels are intended to convey whether the N or C terminus is present. Since this can be confusing or ambig-
uous, this display is not recommended, and is provided only for compatibility with other products.
Specifying the margin width
You can adjust the white space surrounding the atom label so that some of the attached bond is hidden.
