Figure 4-5. The Enter Text screen.

You can get to the Enter Text screen by pressing <Insert Object> on the keyboard, then selecting Text from the Insert Object screen. (See Adding Objects on page 7-3.)

To enter text in a text entry area, type the characters on your keyboard. To start a new line, press <Enter>.

Typing uppercase

To type text in UPPERCASE (or capital) letters, press the <Caps Lock> key. To turn off uppercase, press <Cap Locks> again.

To capitalize a single character, hold down Shift and press the key.

Typing special characters

You can insert accented characters, subscripts, and other special characters that do not appear on your keyboard on your labels by choosing the Special button on the Enter Text screen. The Special Characters screen lets you enter codes that automatically place the special character at the insertion point in your text entry area. See Adding special characters to text on page 7-8for detailed information.
