Add and change text

Text can clarify the meaning of your diagram. You can use text to:

 

Describe the process a object represent in a process flow diagram.

 

Add title blocks to your diagram.

 

Annotate a diagram.

You may create the text simply having added Text object. In additional, Diagram Studio objects and connectors are designed so that you can add text to them. You can add or edit the labels of objects (connectors) by double-clicking the object (connector), and then editing the text block.

To add Text object:

 

1.

Choose the pointer tool  from the Drawing toolbar.

 

2.

Drag in the drawing window until the Text block is the size you want. You can draw a square block by holding down SHIFT as you drag.

 

3.

Double-click the Text object, and then type the text.

 

4.

When you finish typing, click outside the Text object.

 

5.

To format text use the Text... command on the Format menu or the tools on the Format text toolbar to apply formatting to the selected Text object.

To change text:

 

1.

Double-click the Text object, and the type.

 

2.

When you finish typing, click outside the Text object.

To find text in large diagrams, use the Find Text dialog box. Choose Edit->Find, and then type the finding text.
