Text-styling controls
The controls in this group at the top right of the Title
Editor’ Edit Window probably look familiar. The
controls apply both to currently-selected text and to any
new text that may be entered until the settings are
changed again.
At the left are three font style buttons, which select the
bold, italic or underlined styles respectively.

buttons created from graphic objects: rectangles,
ellipses and pictures.
The fourth button opens a pop-out
menu of text-formatting options.
