6 Click the
Spacing
tab and select a line-spacing option.
You can change the vertical spacing between paragraph lines.
Vertical spacing is dependent on selected font size; a single-
spaced paragraph with 12-point text would have 12 points
between each line in the paragraph.
•Select
Single
for a single-spaced paragraph.
•Select
1.5 Lines
for a paragraph with one-and-a-half spaces
between each lines.
•Select
Double
for a double-spaced paragraph.
•Select
Exactly
to type in the point size you want between each
line in a paragraph.
7 Type a measurement in the
Indentation of First Line in Paragraph
text box if you want to indent the first line of each paragraph.
8 Select the
Margins
tab and enter margin measurements in the
Left, Right, Top,
and
Bottom
text boxes.
This measurement is the amount a paragraph will be offset
within its
bounding box.
You may want to use margins if you
have field borders that would interfere with reading the text.
9 Select the
Text Flow
tab and select how you want text to flow
within the set margins of a field.
This option is available for text and circle text objects only.
•Select
Flow Text Across Lines
to enter text in a field with
automatic word-wrapping.
•Select
Make Text Fit to Lines
to fit text to the size of the line. This
can alter the appearance of text.
Press Enter to create a new line of text. Each new line can be
resized separately from other lines.
OmniForm uses the
Make Text Fit to Lines
option to design forms during
scanning and import. Generally, you would want to use the
Flow Text
Across Lines
option when formatting your text and circle text objects.
Each line can be selected
separately and resized.
