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.

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.
