Quizmaker 360: Text Box Formatting

This user guide covers the text box options on the Format Shape/Format Picture window. (See this user guide for ways to access the formatting window.)

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
Text Direction
Autofit
Internal Margin
Wrap Text in Shape

Vertical Alignment

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

Text Direction

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

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.
