Text

A text element contains multiple lines of text. You can layout the text in various ways. Once you dragged the element from the library onto the Canvas, you have to take the following steps to modify it. First, select the Text element on the Canvas (in the editor), then right click and choose Edit. A menu with 4 tab sheets will appear:

Tab sheet: Basics

1.	Click the Basics tab sheet.

2.	If you want the Scroll Bars to appear horizontally, click Horizontal. If you want them presented vertically, click Vertical.

3.	If you want the text to appear in another font, select a font from the Font Box.

4.	In the Align box, select the type of alignment for the text.

5.	If you want the text to have borders, click Bordered.

6.	Click Apply.

2.	Type the text.

3.	Click Apply.

Tab sheet: Colour

1.	Click the Colour tab sheet.

2.	In the palette click a colour.

3.	If the colour is for the text, click text. If it is for the background, click background.

Tab sheet: Position

Please note! Using this tab sheet to set the position is optional. Instead of dragging and resizing, you can use the Position tab sheet to specify relative and absolute positions.

Click the Position tab sheet.

- Left, Top, Right, an Bottom, refer to the four sides of the element.
- Relative Position refers to the position on the window, where the maximum left and top side of the window refer to 0, and the maximum right and bottom side of the window refer to 1.
- Offset refers to the amount of pixels from the topleft corner of the window.

2.	Determine the relative position of the left, top, right, and bottom side of the element by typing values between 0 and 1 in the appropriate Relative Position boxes.

3.	Determine the size of the element by typing the amount of pixels in the appropriate Offset boxes.

4.	Click Apply.
