Merging Text

If you are working with or creating a document with multiple text boxes, you have the option of merging them for easier use.

You can choose between three types of text merging:

  • Auto Merge on PageCanvas X Draw merges all of the text on the selected page. If you have a document with multiple pages, you will need to apply this setting on each page.
  • Auto Merge SelectionCanvas X Draw merges all of the selected text objects, maintaining hard returns.
  • Merge SelectionCanvas X Draw merges all of the selected text objects into a continuous flow of texts in a paragraph text object. (Does not maintain hard returns.)

If non-text objects are part of your selection, they will be ignored by text merging.

To Automatically Merge All Text on the Page:

With the page you would like to merge text on open, choose Text | Text Merging | Auto Merge on Page.

If there are specific text objects you don't want to merge, select and group them, (Ctrl + G), as grouped text objects are skipped.

To Automatically Merge All Selected Text Objects:

  1. With the page you would like to merge text on open, select the text objects you would like merged.
  2. Choose Text | Text Merging | Auto Merge Selection or Merge Selection.
