Formatting, aligning, and sizing the text field

Once you add a text field to a document, you can change its appearance in a variety of ways. The procedure below changes the font of the text, aligns the text field, and resizes it. For more information on arranging and formatting text fields, see Designing and Creating Documents.

To format, align, and size the text field

  1. Click the text field on the Layout area to select it. Alternatively, you can select it from the drop-down list at the top of the Property List.

  2. To format the text, click the Bold and Italic icons in the toolbar.

  3. To change the font size, select 18 from the Font Size drop-down list on the toolbar.

  4. To align the text field, drag and drop it in the correct position or set the Left and Top settings in the Property List. To re-create the sample invoice exactly, set Left to 4.34 and Top to .03.

  5. To size the text field, you can drag the resizing handles or set the Height and Width settings in the Property List. To re-create the sample, set Height to .25 and Width to 2.4.
