Tips

When a region of text is selected, the Text Tool Infobar
shows the attributes applied to the region.

A selected region of text remains selected even after a tool other than the Text Tool has been chosen. This makes it simple to apply fills and transparency to selected text regions.

In the Text Tool click in the text object. Then press CTRL+L to select all characters in the current line. See the List of Text Tool keyboard shortcuts for a complete list.
