98 Working with Text
For incremental scaling, use the
Enlarge Text or Shrink Text buttons
on the same toolbar.
Positioning
• Vertical alignment (right-click Text>Text Flow...) moves existing
text to the Top, Bottom, or Centre of the container (alternatively you
can justify text vertically). The setting anchors a particular part of the
object—for example, a "Top" setting anchors the top line and forces
new text to come in below, while a "Bottom" setting anchors the
bottom (most recent) line and pushes previous lines up as you type
new lines.
• To add white space around your text, you can indent text from the
frame or shape edge via right-click Text>Text Flow.... Values can be
set to indent from Left, Right, Top and/or Bottom.
Resizing
• You can resize frame or shape text (change its point size)
automatically when resizing frame and shapes. First make sure the
Scale text with object box is checked in the Text flow dialog (right-
click Text>Text Flow...) then drag a corner of the selected text object.
Fitting text to a path

Wizard or text context
toolbar's Curve Text
flyout to make artistic
text conform to a curved
baseline such as a circle,
spiral, arc, or a drawn
curve.
