Text box formatting options in Articulate Quizmaker 360

Text box options are only available for text boxes, shapes, and captions. They're grayed out for other objects (pictures, screenshots, and characters).

Use these options to format text boxes:

Vertical Alignment

This drop-down lets you control how high or low the text sits in an object.

Vertical text-alignment options

Text Direction

This drop-down lets you control the rotation of the text in an object.

Text direction options

Autofit

The autofit property controls what happens when text is too big to fit within the text box, shape, or caption. Choose one of the following:

Do not Autofit

This causes the text to overflow the object if there is too much to fit within it.

Shrink text on overflow

This automatically adjusts the font size so the text fits within the object.

Resize shape to fit text

This automatically resizes the object to accommodate the text.

Internal Margin

These settings let you control the margins (padding) for text boxes, shapes, and captions. Enter values in pixels or use the arrows to adjust the values.

Wrap Text in Shape

When marked, this option wraps text within the text box, shape, or caption. It's marked by default.
