Editing the Text Note

After writing the text note, you have several options available for editing the text note.
You can do the following:
Move it—To move the text box without moving the arrowhead on the leader line, drag the cross-shaped
control. To move a leader line, drag one of the blue sizing handles in the desired direction. If you want
to create an elbow with the leader line, drag the text note elbow control.
Resize it—Place the cursor on the drag controls to change the width of the note. If you resize the text
box on a non-wrapping text note, the text note becomes wrapping.
Rotate it—Place the cursor on the rotate control to rotate the note. See
Change text alignment—Click the Left, Right, or Center Justification buttons in the Options Bar. You
can also access Properties and set the Horiz. Alignment property to left, right, or center.
Change the typeface—Access Properties and then click Edit/New. In the Type Properties dialog, you can
set the properties Italic, Bold, and Underline.
Edit the text—Select the text note and then click on the text.
Change the background of the note—Right-click the text note and click Properties. Click Edit/New. In
the Type Properties dialog, set the Background value to either Opaque or Transparent.

Checking Text Note Spelling

The Spelling command checks the spelling of text notes in a selection or in the current view or sheet. The
command does not check the spelling of other types of text, such as text in element properties.
To check the spelling of text notes with worksets, be sure that all the view and sheet worksets are editable.
If you make a view editable by right-clicking it in the Project Browser and clicking Make Workset Editable,
be sure that you have the view activated, not the Project Browser.
TIP If you have text notes in views on a sheet, and you want to check their spelling but the sheet workset is not
editable, use the Make Workset Editable with All Views option on the shortcut menu.
Text notes in groups are ignored by the Spelling command unless you are editing the group. The Spelling
command notifies you if any groups were skipped when it finishes. If you are editing a group of text notes,
the Spelling command tests only the notes in that group.
Text, or on the Drafting tab of the Design Bar, click Text.
