Formatting text

You can edit the font properties for an entire text object, or for a specific word or character within the text object. You can also use different baseline shifts for specific words or characters.

To edit font properties

1	Right-click the text object, word, or character and select Font. The Font dialog box opens.

2	Edit the font properties.

3

Click OK.

 

Font properties
General	Select to specify general font properties, such as font and font style.
Size options	Select to further specify the font size. The radio buttons attached to the text sample represent different character height parameters. You should use the Character Height parameter to modify the font size, since this is the normal way to do it in most Microsoft Windows programs.

To shift the baseline of a word or character

1	Select the word or character and press CTRL+SHIFT+S. The Baseline dialog box opens.

2	Specify the offset (in points). A positive value will displace the baseline upwards. A negative value will displace the baseline downwards.
