Using Brushes and Text 63
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.
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).
For greater control over the shape of the artistic text characters, try
converting the artistic text to curves. For details, see Converting a
shape to editable curves on p. 48.
Fitting text to a path
DrawPlus allows you to make artistic text conform to a curved baseline
(such as a drawn freeform line or curve), custom shape or a preset shape
(QuickShape).
