    X 2 Text Question

    In v-10 you could grab a text box by the corner...stretch it...and the text grew.

    Is there a new way...other than having to block the text and pull the corner...then unblock it?

    Hold the X key while you resize it.

    Thank you.

    That's much easier than the block method.
    Much appreciated.

    Still don't understand the Text dialogue box. I retype the numerical value and nothing gives.

    It applies to the selected text. Just like a word processor. Don't select anything and it applies to the insertion point.

    Thank you both.
    The video is very helpful.

    The possibilities in text mode seem unlimited.

    Just a reminder that you can format (tabs, bullets, etc.,) in a word processor and import into the Rich Text box and retain the formatting.

    has anyone ever figured out how you make the numbered bullets so that the numbers are inside of a triangle? Automatically. not so you have to draw a triangle around the number. like the callout but in the list of specifications.

    I smell a video coming in the AM.

    EDIT; On second thought, I don't have any idea on how to do this.

    The videos we watch are not 100% gold, but if we find a gold nugget, the time spent viewing has a value.

    We can please some of the people some of the time, but we can't please all the people all of the time..... but I will keep trying.

    And yet it's the most common way to handle notes and specs. you have a numbered list that goes to the callout. so why isn't the callout symbol part of the list.
