Formatted Text Examples

Below is an illustration of the Format toolbar used to format text:

Here are some examples of the effects different options have on text:

Font buttons:

As well as the standard Font drop down box showing a list of all the fonts on your system and the Point size box that allows you to set the font size, two shortcut buttons have been added that allow you to increase the selected text or group of text objects at the press of a button:

$image\Icon_Text_Increase.jpg$	Will increase the font size by 2 points every time you press the button.
$image\Icon_Text_Decrease.jpg$	Will decrease the font size by 2 points every time you press the button.

Text Format:

The standard text format options are also available for text i.e. bold, italic, underline and outline:

$image\Icon_Text_Bold.jpg$	$image\Icon_Text_Example_Bold.jpg$
$image\Icon_Text_Italic.jpg$	$image\Icon_Text_Example_Italic.jpg$
$image\Icon_Text_Underline.jpg$	$image\Icon_Text_Example_Underline.jpg$
$image\Icon_Text_Outline.jpg$	$image\Icon_Text_Example_Outline.jpg$
	$image\Icon_Text_Example_Mix.jpg$

Note:
You can combine any of these formats together, as in the last example above which is a combination of the bold, underline and outline formats.

Text Justification:

Text can be aligned to the left, right, centre:

$image\Icon_Text_Justify_Left.jpg$	$image\Icon_Text_Example_Justify_Left.jpg$
$image\Icon_Text_Justify_Right.jpg$	$image\Icon_Text_Example_Justify_Right.jpg$
$image\Icon_Text_Justify_Centre.jpg$	$image\Icon_Text_Example_Justify_Centre.jpg$

or one of the three full justifications: Full Justification, Density Justification and Aspect Justification:

$image\Icon_Text_Justify_Full.jpg$	$image\Icon_Text_Example_Justify_Full.jpg$
$image\Icon_Text_Justify_Density.jpg$	$image\Icon_Text_Example_Justify_Density.jpg$
$image\Icon_Text_Justify_Aspect.jpg$	$image\Icon_Text_Example_Justify_Aspect.jpg$

Note:
The Full justification spreads the words across the page but does not change the size of them. The Density Justification also spreads the words and does not change their size but puts spaces between the characters in a word. The Aspect Justification spreads the words but stretches the words to fill the space as well.

The Density and Aspect methods can provide some visually interesting effects.
