CHAPTER 26 TEXT ENTRY AND LAYOUT Canvas has a full range of text and typography features that let you integrate text with illustrations and images. You can enter, format, edit, and arrange text in Canvas. You can also import text files, and use Publish and Subscribe or Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) to place text in documents. To help you edit and proof text, Canvas provides spell-checking and text-searching tools. This chapter describes how to perform the following operations with text: •   Create and work with text objects. •   Type text into new objects and flow text between text col- umns. •   Insert headers, footers, page numbers, the current date and time in Publication documents. •   Create empty text objects for layout templates. Text tools The Text toolbar in the toolbox contains the tools you can use to cre- ate text objects and to edit text. Each of these tools is described in later sections in this chapter. •   Use the Text tool to create text objects and edit text. •   Use the Text Object tool to draw fixed text objects for page layouts. •   Use the Path Text tool to type text along a vector path. •   Use the Text Link tool to link text objects to create text flows. •   Use the Text Unlink tool to break text object links. •   Use the Text Form Field tool to create form text boxes. •   Use the Text Format Brush tool to copy a text format and apply it to other text.
