Modifying Text Objects

You can modify the properties of a text object. This includes inserting a function in the text object, modifying the vertical or horizontal position of the text box, and selecting the autosize function, which enables the display of all of the text contained in the text object. You can also select the Page Break Before check box, which displays the text box on the top of the next page when you preview or print the report. You can also link the current text object to a source object in the repository.

Note:

The Link to Source Object check box is enabled after the text object is saved to the repository and the Link to Source Object check box is selected.

  To modify a text object:

  1. Select the text object.

  2. Using the Text Properties sheet, modify the properties of the object. To modify the text, select Format, and then Font.

    Tip:

    To resize the text object, drag a handle. To move the text object, drag inside the text object border.
