Text Files

Text files

To insert text from a file, select the File Text from the Insert menu.
The Choose... button allows the user to select the file by browsing the computer. The positioning and style of the text can be changed.
The OK button will exit this screen and create the object/save the changes made.
The Cancel button will exit this screen without creating the object/saving the changes.

The text parameters such as font, justification, size etc can be set for the text that will be read from the file.

The text, background and fill colour and the border line style can be set using the style toolbar . See Setting line style, thickness, colour and fill colour for more details.

The margins for the textbox can be changed by using the Margins... button.

The Conditions... button (see Conditional formatting) enables the user to apply conditional formatting to the text.

By default text is not wrapped so long lines will be clipped to the width of the object. If you want text to be wrapped onto multiple lines use the Wrap text checkbox.
