Text Settings

If your selection includes branches or shapes that have text, the text settings on the Home tab will allow you to change the settings. The options, by row are:

Font face: click the arrow to pop up the font selection. Each of the fonts is shown in its own font so you can see what it looks like, and you get a live preview as you mouse over the different fonts. You can also type in the combo box text area, and the closest matching font name will be chosen.

Font size: click the arrow to pop up the size selection, or type in the size you want, or click in the text area and use the mouse scroll wheel to increase or decrease the font size. There are also two buttons, one for making the font larger and one for making it smaller, and they have hotkeys Ctrl+Shift+> to make it bigger, and Ctrl+Shift+< to make it smaller.

Bold: also accessible using Ctrl+B

Italic: also accessible using Ctrl+I

Underline: clicking this button cycles through no underline / single underline / double underline (also accessible using Ctrl+U), and clicking the arrow beside the button gives you the additional option of setting the underline color.

Strikethrough: clicking this button cycles through no strikethrough / single strikethrough / double strikethrough, and clicking the arrow beside the button gives you the additional option of setting the strikethrough color.

Character Spacing: allows you to set the spacing of the characters to either one of the preset values in the menu, or use the slider to set the value explicitly.

Baseline Offset: allows you to set the height of the baseline of the characters to either one of the preset values in the menu, or use the slider to set the value explicitly.

Font Color: allows you to set the color of the text.
