Working with text

There are three varieties of text — Art, Frame, and Path — to give you flexibility when working with typography.

Text objects contain both character and paragraph elements, making it easy to modify standard text attributes such as font, size, format, and alignment. All text types have quick access settings on the built-in keyboard; you can also use the supporting Text Studio for more advanced options.

When snapping is switched on, the baseline of the first line in a text object will snap to the baseline of the first line in other text objects.

When performing text editing, Designer supports all standard text selection and formatting techniques and shortcuts.

The unique features of artistic text, frame text and path text are discussed in the Artistic text, Frame text and Text on a path topics.
