2 creating text In FreeHand, you create text by clicking or dragging with the Text tool to create a text block, and then typing in the text block to enter text. New text that you enter in FreeHand is formatted with the default text attributes in the Object panel or the currently selected text style in the Styles panel. By default, clicking with the Text tool creates an auto- expanding text block that expands as you enter text. You can change this behavior by setting text preferences. Dragging with the Text tool creates a fixed-size text block in which text automatically wraps from one line to the next.

3 creating text To create text: 1 Click the Text tool in the Tools panel. 2 Do one of the following: To create an auto-expanding text block, click in the Document window and begin typing to enter text. To create a line break, press Enter (Windows) or Return (Macintosh). To create a fixed-size text block, drag in the Document window and begin typing in the text block that appears. To open the Text Editor as you create a new text block, hold down Alt (Windows) or Option (Macintosh) as you click in the Document window. 3 To finish entering text, click outside the text block.

4 working with text blocks You can manipulate text blocks as you do other objects in FreeHand. You can move, delete, and resize text blocks. You can also convert fixed-size text blocks to auto-expanding text blocks, or the reverse. Fixed-size text blocks can be a fixed width, a fixed height, or both. When selected, a fixed-width text block has solid side selection handles, and a fixed- height text block has a solid bottom center handle. A square link box appears at the lower right corner of a selected text block. When a fixed-size text block contains more text than it can display, a dot appears in the link box to indicate overflow text. You can link text blocks to flow text from one block to another.
