Adding Text
Canvas X Draw has a full range of text and typography features that let you integrate text with illustrations and images. You can enter, format, edit, and arrange text in Canvas X Draw. You can also import text files and use Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) to place text in documents. To help you edit and proof text, Canvas X Draw provides spell-checking and text-searching tools.
Text Tools
The Text tool palette contains the tools you use to create text objects and edit text.
The Vertical Text and Vertical Text Object tools are only designed for languages that use vertical text, such as Japanese. These two tools are only available if you select the Enable two-byte script checkbox on the Type page of the Text manager in the Configuration Center. If you change this setting in the Configuration Center, you must close Canvas X Draw and restart it before the setting is applied.
Typing Text
The simplest way to add text to a document is to use the Text tool.
(missing or bad snippet)Formatting Text
Canvas X Draw provides three ways to format text: the Properties bar, the Text menu, and the Type palette. Using the Properties bar or the Text menu, you can quickly apply formatting to particular characters or an entire paragraph. The Type palette gives you additional options such as the ability to create and save character and paragraph styles, which you can use to consistently format text throughout a document.
To Apply Formatting from the Properties Bar:
- Select the Text tool from the Toolbox.
- Select the text you want to format.
- In the Properties bar, select one or more text format options.
Properties Bar Text Format Options
