Text regions

A text region is rich text — a note, heading, or list — not a math region. Insert one, click inside, and type.

Insert

Any of these:

• Double-click empty paper. A text region appears with its bottom-left at the click. Start typing.
• On the Insert tab, choose Text (tooltip: Insert Text Region), then click the page.
• Ctrl+Shift+T (Command-Shift-T on a Mac) inserts a text region at the pointer.

A single click on empty paper still inserts Math. Use a double-click (or Insert → Text) when you want a note or a heading.

While you type

The Text ribbon tab becomes the toolbox:

• Font — family (Arial, Times New Roman, Courier New, Georgia, Verdana, Calibri), size (10–32, default 18), bold, italic, underline, subscript, superscript.
• Colour — Apply text colour / Choose text colour, and Reset to theme colour.
• Highlight — Apply highlight colour / Choose highlight colour, and Clear highlight.
• Paragraph — Align Left, Centre, Align Right, Justify; Indent and Outdent; Bulleted list and Numbered list.

Select characters inside the region to style a run; click the region frame to apply a style to the whole block.

Line (separator)

Insert → Line places a horizontal rule. It is a text region that is only a separator — no heading, no section number. Use it between parts of a long sheet.

Move and wrap

Drag the frame to move. Resize with the handles; long paragraphs wrap inside the box. Text regions do not take part in evaluation except as section markers when you mark them.
