To Create Multiline Text

For longer notes and labels with internal formatting, use multiline text.

1. Click Draw menuTextMultiline Text.
2. Specify opposite corners of a bounding box to define the width of the multiline text object.

   The MTEXT contextual menu displays.

3. To indent the first line of each paragraph, drag the first-line indent slider on the ruler. To indent the other lines of each paragraph, drag the paragraph slider.
4. To set tabs, click the ruler where you want a tab stop.
5. Enter text.
   Note: Text that would otherwise be difficult to read (if it is very small, very large, or is rotated) is displayed at a legible size and is oriented horizontally so that you can easily read and edit it.
6. To override the current text style, select text as follows:
   • To select one or more letters, click and drag the pointing device over the characters.
   • To select a word, double-click the word.
7. To save your changes, click in the drawing outside the editor.
