Entering text
You can enter text for the job using three methods - directly on the screen using Text on the
Work Surface (TOWS), in the Enter/Edit Text dialog box, or in the Enter/Edit Small Text dialog
box (for text smaller than .25 inch (.635 cm or 18 points). To start one of the methods, click the
corresponding button in the Text Mode toolbar. To open the toolbar, click and hold down on
the Text tool in the toolbar.
