Working with Text 95
To retain formatting, use "Formatted Text (RTF)" or for plain text use
"Unformatted Unicode Text". For the latter, if your imported text appears as
blocks instead, remember to apply a Unicode font such as Arial Unicode MS to
fix the formatting.
Editing text
Once you've entered either artistic, frame or shape text (see Entering text on p.
93), you can retype it and/or format its character attributes (font, point size,
bold/italic/underline, etc.), paragraph properties, and text flow. Text objects
have graphic properties, too: artistic text behaves like an independent graphic
object (it can be scaled), while shape or frame text conforms to its container or
frame.
Artistic text, text frames, and shapes containing text can all be rotated, skewed,
moved, and copied. You can also apply line and fill colour independently, brush
strokes/edges, or apply opacity and transparency effects, for interesting text
effects.
Colour can be applied to selected text as a solid, gradient or bitmap fill—for a
solid fill, simply select one or more characters and apply a solid colour from the
Studio's Colour tab (ensuring the fill swatch is set) or the Character dialog. See
Setting fill properties on p. 143.
For a gradient or bitmap fill, use the Studio's Swatch tab. See p. 155 or p. 159,
respectively.
Similarly, opacity is applied from the Colour tab (see p. 162); gradient and
bitmap transparency from the Transparency tab.
