Chapter 6 Diagrams and Symbols

Formatting free text

Free text and text in graphic shapes support two modes. These are selectable at the bottom of the text input window:

• Plain text - text formatting is controlled by the display preferences for Free Symbols
• RTF (Rich Text Format) – text formatting can be controlled directly in the text input window

To work with RTF:

1. Create a free text object and double-click it to open a text input window
2. Select the RTF radio button at the bottom of the text input window to enter RTF editing mode.
3. Use the RTF tools listed below, or click the Format tool to open the Text Format window. This window has three tabs:
   
   
   • Font – including style, size, effects, color and background
   • Paragraph- including indentation, spacing, and alignment
   • Tabs – including positioning and alignment
4. When complete, click OK to return to the diagram
