Fontwork Alignment: specify the alignment of the text
within the frame from the choices available. The effects of the
text alignment can only be appreciated if the text spans over
two or more lines. In the Stretch Justify mode all the lines are
filled completely.
Fontwork Character Spacing: select the desired
spacing and whether kerning pairs should be used. For
custom spacing, input a percentage value: 100% is normal
spacing; less than 100% is tight spacing; more than 100%
is expanded spacing.
Modifying Fontwork text as a shape
It is possible to treat Fontwork text as a shape and therefore to apply to it all the
formatting that has been described in this chapter. Assign line properties only to
Fontwork which does not have a 3D effect, otherwise the changes will not be visible.
Tip
Change the Fontwork color quickly using the Area fill color swatch on the
Line and Filling toolbar.
You can modify some of the Fontwork shapes just as you modify the angles of
Trapezoids and Parallelogram basic shapes by moving the yellow dot that is displayed
along with the green resizing handles.
