The Text command lets you enter text on the layout at the selected position. You can use the Tab key to format the text to fixed tab positions and CTRL+Enter to enter a newLine character.
The font size can be changed by the Font Size drop list on the Status-bar (Section 3.1). The font size is scaled along with everything else on the layout so text is always the same relative size as other layout objects.
The font can be selected by the Font Selection (Section 2.10.5) dialog invoked by the Options>Fonts menu item or by Shift+Right-Click
(Section 3.4).
The position where text is to be placed on the layout must be selected prior to text entry. The position is select by Left-Click
ing on the layout at the point where the text is to appear. Desired text is entered after the position is selected. If necessary, the location can be changed once text entry begins by Left-Click+Drag
ing the text to any desired postion on the layout.
The Properties (Section 2.2.13) command can be used to modify the contents of existing Text objects and to draw boxes around them.
Note: loading fonts (or changing sizes) can take a noticeable amount of time.
