# 2.3.7 Text

The Text command lets you enter text on the layout at the selected position.

The font size can be changed by the Font Size drop list on the Status-bar (Section 3.1). The font size is scaled along with everything else on the layout so text is always the same relative size as other layout objects.

The font can be selected by the Font Selection (Section 2.10.5) dialog invoked by the Options>Fonts menu item or by Shift+Right-Click (Section 3.4).

The position where text is to be placed on the layout must be selected prior to text entry. The position is select by Left-Clicking on the layout at the point where the text is to appear. Desired text is entered after the position is selected. If necessary, the location can be changed once text entry begins by Left-Click+Draging the text to any desired postion on the layout.

The Properties (Section 2.2.11) command can be used to modify the contents of existing Text objects.

Note: loading fonts (or changing sizes) can take a noticeable amount of time.
