Transforming text

You can transform text blocks in the same ways you can transform other objects. You can
scale, rotate, skew, and flip text to create unique text effects.
You can still edit the transformed text, although severe transformations may make the text
difficult to read. When a text block transformation causes text to be resized or scaled, the
resulting font size appears in the Property inspector when the text is selected.
