Adding text

Any text for your intervention (including headings and paragraphs) needs to be added using a textbox.

Create a textbox by clicking on the Textbox button. A newly created text box will be displayed on the top left hand side of the editing area with a short message of edit me.

Adding and Editing Text

You can add and edit your text in one of two ways:

1. Using the Rich text editor by selecting the option Edit text

1. Using the properties menu by unchecking the Use Global Style box

The only differences between these are:

• The rich text editor allows you to change individual words in the paragraph whereas changing the text in the text properties menu will change every word in the textbox.
• The rich text editor also allows you to add symbols (such as the degree symbol - °).
• The rich text editor allows you to format the paragraphing of your text. The text properties menu requires you to add each paragraph in a separate textbox.
• There are 5 different text sizes in the rich text editor (1-5) whereas the text properties menu allows you to use text sizes you are used to (e.g. 10 or 12 point etc).

These functions can also be performed in the properties menu but this will require HTML code which can be complicated and unnecessary to learn.
