Add Static Text to a Sheet

Click the Text button, then click in the form design area to choose where to position the text.

To modify the text, right-click the text in the form design, then click Objects.

In the output panel, you can edit the fixed text that you want the form to display.

Alternatively, you can edit the fixed text directly in the output view.

To initiate the in-place edit mode, perform one of the following actions:

• Right-click the object and select In-place edit.

• Select the object and press F2

Now you can edit fixed text, adjust font and formatting settings. For example, you can change the color, bold formatting, and font size. You can also drag and drop text or copy/cut and paste it to another position.

Note

You cannot edit fixed text with a specific format applied – for example, number or date.

When you have made the required changes, do one of the following to save changes and exit the in-place edit mode:

• Click elsewhere on the screen

• Press F2

• Press Ctrl+Enter

Note

You can add text to an existing rearrange by clicking the Add button below the object list (on the Objects page of the Edit Rearrange or Edit XML Rearrange window).

You can type text directly on the page at the text cursor position.

To create a moveable and resizeable text box, click Text in the Developer toolbar.
