The Rubi dialog box
You can apply automatic rubi to a series of words (separated by spaces or punctuation)
by selecting a range of text and then pressing Command+Option+R/Ctrl+Alt+R. For
more information about automatic rubi, see the Rubi Text bullet in the list under
"Text tab," below.
Text tab
The Text tab of the Rubi dialog box lets you control the following options:
Rubi Text: Use this field to specify the rubi text to be applied to the selected base
text. When you display the Rubi dialog box for a new rubi, the application
automatically fills this field with a phonetic reading of the base text from the
input method editor (IME). This feature works for languages for which IME
dictionaries are available (as of this writing, Chinese and Japanese only).
Get Rubi: Use this button to refresh the content of the Rubi Text field from the
IME.
Base Text: This field displays the selected base text.
Rubi Alignment: Use this drop-down menu to control how non-overhanging
rubi text aligns with the base text. For more information, see "Rubi alignment
options."
Rubi Placement: Use this drop-down menu to specify whether rubi text displays
above or below the base text (in a horizontal story) or to the left of or right of the
base text (in a vertical story).
Relative Size: Use this field to specify the size of the rubi text compared to the
base text.
Offset: Use this field to control how far the rubi text is offset from the base text.
