These texts have slight differences to those in text frames concerning position and hyphenation.Ĭonnectors are a type of line or arrow whose ends stick to glue points on other objects. Nearly any kind of object contains such an additional text element. If you double-click on an object or press F2 (or the Text icon in the Drawing toolbar) when an object is selected, text is written in the center of the object and remains within the object. Use the Callout tool, located on the Drawing toolbar, to create callouts (also known as captions or figure labels). These options are available by right-clicking on the object.

You can rotate the frame and write the text at any angle. Text frames can also have fill colors, shadows, and other attributes, just like any other Draw object. To style parts of the text, use direct formating with the toolbar. Graphics styles affect all of the text within a text frame. The Styles and Formatting window also works here (select Format > Styles and Formatting or press F11 to launch), so you can create Graphics styles that you can reuse for other text frames. You can change the style of all or part of the text. When you type text, the upper toolbar includes the usual paragraph attributes: indents, first line, and tab stops. Double-click on the text at any time to edit it. When you have finished typing text, click outside the text frame. Click on an empty space in the workspace to write the text at that spot or drag an area to write inside the dragged frame. Use the Text tool to write text and select the font, color, size, and other attributes. If you first press (and hold) the Control key before clicking on any of these buttons (Line, Rectangle, Ellipse, or Text), the chosen object appears directly on the page with a default size, shape, and color.
