Text Box

[Lester Macena]

Hi,

How can the height of a text box (F12) can be increased? For example, I'd like my comment not to be one line but two-three lines.

Thanks!

If you use the keyboard command ALT+ENTER, you'll create a line break when typing into the text tool.

You can also edit the text and create a line break within the drawing object properties.

Thanks for the shortcut. When I click to edit the text, it always opens properties. Is there a way to click just to edit the text?

Also, where can one read more how to do what you described below?

Double-click on the text on your chart. This will bring up the text drawing object properties. You may edit the text in the 'text' field.

Once I double-click the text, how can I

... create a line break within the drawing object properties.

Here is a video demonstration of both methods of adding line breaks to your text tool:

Thank you.

Just to reiterate, to create a line break with a box - Alt+Enter, within properties - Enter.

When initially entering the text (not within properties) = ALT+ENTER
When within the text properties = ENTER (no ALT needed)
