Change the Width of the Text Object in the Text Area
To change the width of a text object in the Text area:
1. In the Text area, locate the width marker. The width marker is initially aligned with the right edge of the right indent
marker.
2. Position the pointer over the width marker to display the resize pointer, then click and drag the width marker to the new
position.
Use Variables in a Text Object
You can reference both system and global variables from a text object. The global variables you reference within a text object
can be of type string, measure, integer, and currency.
If you reference a global variable in a text object and subsequently change the type of the global variable to one not supported
by the text object, PlanetPress Design replaces the global variable in the text object with a blank space. The next time you
open the text object, an error message appears in the Messages area of the Object Preview and in the status bar of the text
object. You cannot exit the text object until you remove all references to the global variable.
You can also create local variables that are internal to the text object. The value of a local variable can be a data selection, a
constant, or a PlanetPress Talk expression.
