You can make interactive adjustments to text size, color, alignment, rotation, and other properties by selecting text and then applying the appropriate options on the Text command bar.

While creating and editing a text box or text string, you can click the Properties button on the command bar to open the Text Box Properties dialog box.

If you click and drag to draw the text box initially, then the box is defined as a fixed-width text box. You can adjust the text box size interactively using the handles displayed when you click the text box.

You also can change the text box size using the Fixed Width box and the Height box on the Info page (Text Box Properties dialog box).

If you click and type to begin entering content, then the text box is defined as Fit width to contents. Sizing handles are not displayed on the text box when you select it. You can change this using the Text Control option on the command bar.

If you create a text box, but do not enter text in it, an empty text box indicator is displayed on the sheet. This makes it possible to locate and delete text boxes without content.

You can create superscript, subscript, fractions, bullet and numbered lists, and indented paragraphs.

• Use the Stack dialog box to specify the content and formatting of superscript, subscript, and fractions.

  Use the AutoStack dialog box to apply fractional formatting to numbers and symbols as you type.

  To learn how, see the Help topic, Format a fraction, superscript, or subscript.

• Use the options on the Text command bar and on the Bullets and Numbers page (Text Box Properties dialog box) to control the formatting of lists.

  To learn how, see the Help topic, Format a bullet or number list.

• You can copy and paste from another application, such as Microsoft Word. You also can copy text from a Solid Edge text box to another application.

You can control list numbering using the options on the Bullets and Numbering menu on the Text command bar. These include:

• Continue Numbering

• Restart Numbering
