header_logo Text Editing

text

 

Text editing is pretty straightforward. A few things to know:

Superselection is key here. Distinguish between selecting a text label versus superselecting the text itself.
Text properties that are modified on the font attribute panel (color, bold (Cntl+B), italics (Cntl+I), font, size) apply to selected (highlighted) text. If you have an entire object selected prior to making a text property change, all text in that object will be modified.
Properties that are modified on the text inspector panel such as: text alignment, shadows, fill and stroke, and transparency are object properties. Changes will usually affect all text in that object regardless of specific text selection.

 

TIPtip

Most text properties can be set in the Font Attribute Panel or the Text Inspector Panel. The notable exception is font color, which is set by highlighting text and using the Color Attribute Panel.
