Applying attributes to the text cursor

If attributes are applied when the text cursor is present in a text object, the attributes are applied to the text cursor and used for all the text you type in that text object. When the text cursor is moved, it takes on the attributes of the character to its left.

To apply attributes to the text cursor

1. Choose the Text Tool.

2. Insert the text cursor in the document.

3. Apply the attributes. For example, click on a color on the Color Line or choose a font size from the Text Tool Infobar.

Tips

If you want to change the attributes for all text objects you create in future, select the Text Tool (ensuring the text cursor is not visible in the document) and set the attributes.

You have to type something for the change of attribute to have any effect. Moving the cursor without typing discards the change of attribute.
