Figure 232: Text tab of Graphic Styles dialog
Anchoring text
To try out the different settings possible for text anchors, start by drawing an ellipse
from the Drawing or Basic Shapes toolbars , change into Text edit mode by
double-clicking on the ellipse and write several (not too long) lines of text. Repeat
with an ellipse from the Circles and Ovals toolbar (a classical drawing object). This
toolbar is not available by default; you must customize the Drawing toolbar to add it.
Note
To tell whether you have selected a basic shape or a classical drawing
object, look in the left hand side of the status bar; you will see either
Ellipse selected (Classical object) or Shape selected (Basic Shape).
In the Text tab of the Edit Style dialog, set the
values of the Spacing to Borders to 0 cm for all
four directions.
Set Options as Left in the tab Alignment.
