Displaying type attributes in the Object panel
The Object panel lets you quickly apply common type specifications and text formatting.
Text properties and type attributes in the Object panel
When text is selected in the document, the top portion of the Object panel, called the Properties
list, displays properties applied to the selection.
The bottom half of the Object panel displays options for the selected property in the Properties
list. When the Text property is selected in the Properties list, five buttons appear in the options
section of the panel. These five buttons allow you to edit various type attributes. The options
section of the Object panel is context-sensitive; when working with text, it changes depending on
which property is selected in the Properties list and which type attribute button is pressed.
When no text or objects are selected in the document and a text style is selected in the Styles
panel, the Object panel displays default text attributes. For more information, see “Using text
styles” on page 274 and “Changing default attributes” on page 146.

Do one of the following:
•
Using the Pointer tool, select a text block in the document.

the Styles panel (Window > Styles).
