102 Working with Text
Retyping text
You can either retype artistic, frame or shape text directly on the page, or use the
Edit Text window—great for managing large amounts of text (overflowed shape
text or otherwise) in a simple word processing environment.
To retype text on the page:
1. Select the object and then select Artistic Text (from the
Drawing toolbar's Text flyout) in either order.
2. Type new text at the selection point or drag to select text, then type to
replace it. To cut, copy, and paste, use the toolbar buttons or standard
Windows keyboard shortcuts.
To create a new line:
• At the position you want to start a new line, press the Enter key.
Formatting text
You can change text formatting (character, paragraph, bullets/numbering and
text flow properties) directly on the page via the Text context toolbar or via a
Text Style dialog.
In addition, artistic text characters have line properties, expanding their creative
possibilities.
To format selected text on the page:
1. Use the Pointer Tool to select the text you want to change.
Alternatively, drag select on any text with Artistic Text (from the
Drawing toolbar's Text flyout).
2. Use the Text context toolbar to change text properties (font, point size,
bold/italic/underline, subscript/superscript, OpenType font features,
text alignment, bullets and numbering, levels, and text fitting).
