Working with Text

In Mail Factory, you can place a text on your envelopes and labels. This can be done with the help of the Text tool.

To create a new text object:

1. Bring up the Design window by clicking the Design toolbar button, or choose Show Design from the Window menu.
2. Choose the Address Fields tab and drag "Simple Text Field" to the document and drop where you want the text to be inserted. The alternative method - click "A" button on the toolbar and then on the document.
3. Type in the text. When done, click away from the text box.

To modify the text, double-click on it.

You can change the font attributes and color of the text inside a text box or an address panel by using the system Fonts and Colors dialogs. To call the Fonts dialog, press Cmd+T or choose Show Fonts from the Window menu. To call the Colors dialog, press Cmd+Shift+C or choose Show Colors from the Window menu. If the entire address panel is selected, the changes you make in the dialogs will apply to the entire address panel. If a portion of text is selected, the changes will apply to the selected text only.

You can also use the Inspector to change the color, alignment and background color of the text. To open the Inspector, click the Inspector toolbar button, or choose Show Inspector from the Window menu.

To change the address to all caps, click the Capitalize button.

To rotate a text box, select it and use the Rotate slide bar or type the angle in the corresponding box nearby.
