Text Layout in Impress

leave a comment »

Open a new Impress Project and choose the text icon and type “My Drawing“ using the plain text.

If you want to make changes to your text all of the formatting tools that for objects such as rotation work the same way with text.

By highlighting your text and then choosing Format-Area you instantly change the background of the text area.
Also by highlighting your text you can change how the text fits in the frame. Choose Format-Text and you can force the text to fit the size of the frame.

The Text attribute window provides this option in addition to Fit width to text, fit height to text and fit text to frame. The options for spacing of the text from the frame are in this window also.
This is a convenient feature for getting the heading to fit correctly.
