Once selected simply type the text required. The font, size, color and style can be set from the text tool bar. The font, size and color can be edited and changed from the drop down boxes. The styles, bold, italics and underline can be set from the toolbar buttons. You can select text and change any of the styles, or you can set a style and then type. These options can be changed any number of times in one text element. The properties below, edited through the side bar property window apply to the entire text element.
