Text tab

You can insert text using the Text Tool and the Text Path Tool. Use the Text Tool when inserting a text object of straight form, and the Text Path Tool when inserting texts of a curvilinear form. You can also use the Text Area Tool to add relatively long text strings, such as paragraph on the Canvas. The Text Area Tool lets you control horizontal and vertical alignment and creates an area inside which the text reflows, rather than resizes, when you change the size or proportions of the area.

Examples of the text object and the text path

In the Text tab you can check and modify the properties of the text object or text path.

• Font
  Specifies the font family of the text object.
• Font Size
  Specifies the font size of the text object.
• Text Style

• 	Bold Makes the text bold.
  	Italic Makes the text italic.
  	Horizontal Arranges the text horizontally.
  	Vertical Arranges the text vertically.

• Text
  Types in the text to be inserted into the document. Press the <Ctrl + Enter> key, and type in multiple lines of text paths.
• Align
  Alignment can be altered only when the text box and not the text itself is selected.
• • Left: Aligns the text on the left side of the text box.
  • Center: Centers the text horizontally in the text box.

• Character Spacing

• Font Stretch
  Specifies the horizontal/vertical ratio of the font as a percentage of normal.

• Line Spacing
  Specifies the spacing between lines of text as a percentage of normal.
• Start Offset
  Specifies the starting point of the text as a percentage. Entering ’0′ lets the text start at the starting point of the path and entering a larger number will start the text farther from the starting point of the path. This option is applicable only to the text path.
