Operation Manual

202 Text
To import text from a file:
1. (Optional) If using an existing empty text frame, select the frame. If
inserting text into a populated text frame, click for an insertion point
(or select a portion of text to be replaced).
2. Choose Insert > Text File... from the Text menu.
3. From the Open dialog, select the format of the source file to be
imported and locate the file itself.
4. Check the Retain Format box to retain the source file's formatting
styles. Uncheck the box to discard this information. In either case,
WebPlus will preserve basic character properties like italic, bold, and
underline, and paragraph properties like alignment (left, center, right,
justified).
5. Click Open.
6. The text will be imported into the pre-selected text object or a new text
frame. For text frames, the text may overflow your frame. To resolve
this, see Controlling overflowing frame text on p. 70.
Using artistic text
Artistic text is standalone text you type directly onto a page. Especially useful
for headlines, pull quotes, and other special-purpose text, it's easily formatted
with the standard text tools.
Here are some similarities between frame text and artistic text. Both text types let
you:
• Vary character and paragraph properties, apply named text styles, edit
text in WritePlus, and import text.
