A Text Object is one or more lines of text which can be moved and copied like any other object. The Text Tool allows you to edit the contents of text objects by typing new characters, changing the font, font size, etc. You can apply all the normal attributes to text objects, such as thick line widths, fills, dotted lines, color and even transparency. Text objects can be fitted to a curve and they remain editable in the Text Tool. If you use Select Member on a text object you first select the whole object, then a line of text in it, then a single text character in the line. Text objects come in three forms, simple, column and fitted to a curve. For more details, see Creating new text or the Text Overview.
