Frames and drawings > Drawings > Changing drawing properties via the dialog box > Inner text tab (available only for AutoShapes with text)

This tab appears only for AutoShapes to which text has been added (see Add text to AutoShapes) and for Text frames.

You can use this tab to change settings for the text in the text frame.

Tip: Some of these options can also be found directly as commands on the contextual ribbon tab Object | group Inner text.

Available options:

▪Inner margins section

Here, you can change the inner margins for the text. If you enable the option Automatic, TextMaker will automatically determine suitable margins.

▪Overlapping objects section

This setting determines what should happen if the object overlaps with another object.

If the default setting Ignore object is enabled, TextMaker will do nothing. In the area of overlap, the contents of both objects will thus be printed on top of each other.

If, on the other hand, you enable the option Wrap text, TextMaker will automatically wrap the text in this object so that it flows around the area of overlap.

▪Rotate by... section

Here, you can rotate the text by the specified angle.

▪Vertical alignment section

This setting determines how the inner text should be aligned between the top and bottom edges of the drawing:

Option	Explanation
Top	The text is aligned to the top edge of the object. (This is the default setting.)
Centered	The text is centered between the top and bottom edges.
Bottom	The text is aligned to the bottom edge of the object.
Justified	The lines of text are vertically justified and are thus evenly distributed so that the text starts exactly at the top edge of the object and ends exactly at the bottom edge.
