Configuring a Text Box object
Text Box objects are interactive objects that enable you to display and edit text. Only a
rectangular text box can be a Text Box object. You can specify the font, size, type style,
color, and alignment of text in Text Box objects.
If a text box is not a Text Box object, it is converted to vectors and always displays as you
see it in the Interactive layout. However, when working with a Text Box object, you must
embed the fonts in the presentation if you want to be sure they will display on the end-user's
computer (see "Configuring export settings"). To ensure that a font is actually embedded, you
must apply the font to at least one character or empty paragraph in a Text Box object
somewhere in the layout. If you do not embed fonts, a default font will be used.
To configure a Text Box object:
1
Create a Text Box object, as described in "Creating an object." Make sure the Text Box object
is selected.
2
To indicate the Text Box object type, choose an option from the Display as drop-down
menu:
• Simple: The end user can select and copy text, but they cannot edit it.
• Editable: The end user can edit the text in the box.
• Scrollable: The box has a scroll bar. The end user can select and copy text, but they cannot
edit it.
• Editable and Scrollable: The box has a scroll bar, and the end user can edit the text in
the box.
• List: The box has a scroll bar and contains a list of items, each of which uses one line. The
user can select one of the items in the list at a time.

To configure additional settings for a Simple Text Box object, choose one or more options
from the Options drop-down menu:
• To hide the Text Box object until it displays using a Show action, choose Initially Hidden.
• To prevent changes from being made to the Text Box object until it is enabled with an
Enable action, choose Initially Disable.
