Editing a Text Element
For each text element the following properties are specified: size and position of the element, text, font, text color, word wrap, horizontal and vertical alignment, orientation, and the color of element's background.
You can edit the text of an element directly in the field of the element. To enable the text editing mode, right-click the element or select Text → Edit Text on the shortcut menu. Then use the hot keys for editing.
You can change the properties of the text element in the Element Properties window located in the bottom right corner of the main window. The Element Properties window is displayed only if View → Element Properties is selected on the main menu.
