text areas or images
.
With the "Quickshape" tool, you can create other polygons and
stars. More about this in the reference
section.
Edit text
A text field is an object like an image or graphic and therefore cannot be freely enlarged or diminished
with the selection tool.
To edit text directly, switch to the text tool.
Next, click the text object, and you will be able to edit the text like normal.
To change properties of the text like font or size, click with the text tool in a text field and then press the
"Esc" key. The text field is now completely selected, which can be recognized by the small selection
marker to the top-left.
In the infobar above, you are now able to set properties like font, size, alignment, and more.
Entering text
In the Text
Tool if you click and drag diagonally on the page you will create a rectangular text area. The blinking
cursor will be positioned in the top left corner and you can type or paste text.
A text area can contain a "flowing" text story. A text story refers to a single piece of text, flowing from
one text area to another. It's called flowing text because, like water, as you add or remove text in one
area it overflows into connected text areas or flows back from text areas.
If the text overflows the bottom of the text area the overflowing text is shown gray, although you can
continue to edit this text as usual.
If text extends past the bottom of the text area, an overflow indicator is shown on the bottom of the area.
If you drag this over any other text area, the overflow text will flow into the new text area, and the two
areas become connected.
