Text Tool Properties

The Text tool lets you add text fields to your project, in which you can type text, then adjust its formatting using various fonts and text attributes.

With the Text tool selected, you can select text within text boxes you created and change the formatting of the selection. You can also select and manipulate text boxes using the Select tool, and change the formatting of the entire text box in the Select tool properties.
