Text Handling 197
Removing an anchor
To remove an anchor from an object, right click it and choose ANCHOR TO TEXT again
to disable the option. Now when you click the object in the
SELECTOR TOOL or in the
text in the
TEXT TOOL, the anchor symbol is no longer displayed.
Embedding Graphics
You can insert any object into text so that it behaves just like a character in the text.
Simply copy the object to the clipboard (Ctrl+C), go into the Text Tool and position
the text caret where you want to insert the object, then paste (Ctrl+V).
You can select, copy, paste and delete the embedded object along with the text
around it, just as if it was a character in the text. However you can also still select it
and transform it directly using the Selector Tool.
Use this embedding technique in preference to Anchoring where you can, because it
is more efficient in terms of the processing required to format the text.
Applying text attributes
Changing the font size
There are several ways to change the font size:
• Type a new value into the size text box on the InfoBar and press .
• Or select from the
FONT SIZE drop-down list on the InfoBar.
• Or use the Font size pop-up slider.
• Or manually increase/decrease font size with the "Ctrl + Shift + >" and "Ctrl +
Shift + <" keyboard shortcuts. This applies only if all selected text parts are of the
same font size.
• Or use the
SELECTOR TOOL to scale the whole text object.
