Adding Text to an Existing Shape

To add text inside an existing shape:

•

Select any of the Pointer Tool, Text Tool, Reshaping Tool or Rotation Tool.

•

Double click on a shape to open the column container for text input and insert the text cursor. The Text Tool is auto-selected, ready for text input.

•

You can now add text by typing or pasting it in.

As an alternative:

•

You can drag text from elsewhere in your iStudio Publisher document, or from other applications, and drop it into a shape.

To add text around an existing shape:

•

To enter text on a shape's path, you must first complete a one-time operation to enable the path:

•

either, manually using the Text Along Path Tool, which is required for individual paths that are not flow linked

Text Along Path Tool

•

or, automatically using the Text Flow Tool to flow link the path to any other text container (column or path)

Text Flow Tool

•

You can now add text to the path by typing, pasting or dragging it in, as for adding text inside an existing shape.

NOTE: Once any particular path has been enabled, that path can be opened for edit, or receive drag and drop text, at any time.
