Format free-form texts

You have several options for formatting free-form texts.

Procedure

Right-click in the free-form text and select the relevant pop-up menu:

• Click on Format/Representation to
  
  • determine the font format and alignment (left, centered, or right),
  • represent the entire text as a comment, i.e., like a post-it note,
  • enable or prevent character formatting,
  • specify the current free-form text formatting as the default for all new free-form texts.
    

    The changes of appearance only affect the currently selected free-form text.

• Make sure that the Character formatting option in the Text properties (Format/Representation) dialog is enabled, and click on the Format/Character pop-up menu to highlight individual terms in bold or in color, for example.
• Click on Format/Paragraph to improve the legibility of individual paragraphs by applying numbering, bullets, or indents to them.

Tip

You can quick-access individual formatting functions using the toolbar.
