-=====Add a Text Object=====+====== 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 
 + 
 +{{:en-us:11.0:how_to_v10:v10-text-01.jpg|v10-text-01.jpg}} 
 + 
 +<nowiki>*</nowiki> 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. 
 + 
 +{{:en-us:11.0:how_to_v10:v10-text-02.jpg}} 
 + 
 +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. 
 + 
 +{{:en-us:11.0:how_to_v10:v10-text-03.jpg}} 
 + 
 +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 ====
