Add a Text Object

In Objects and Animation it is possible to add a Text Object to a Slide by clicking on the Text Icon (T) on the Menu Bar.

Alternatively right-click on a blank space and choose Add/Text

* The Highlighted “Text” in the Text Box can then be overwritten with the user's own required Text

The Properties of the TEXT are shown in the Properties Tab on the Right.

Choose a Font from the drop-down Menu and other attributes such as Bold, Italic, Underlined and/or Colour.

Use “Save/Reset Font” to set the chosen Font and its attributes as default for new Text Objects

Font Size

Note that there is no Font Size but that the Text Box has a Percentage Zoom which controls the size of the Font.

Note also that one line of Text in the above example = 15% Zoom. Two lines of Text = 30% Zoom; three lines of Text = 45% etc. This relationship will continue until the size of the “bounding box” is altered via a mouse action.

In the next Example it can be seen that One line of Text at 6% gives the same Font Size as 16 lines of Text at 96% Zoom. Knowing this relationship allows the user to create a consistent Font Size across multiple Slides.

Insert Text Template

This feature allows you to add a Text Template to an individual Image/Object. It can be done globally (all slides) in Project Options / Defaults
