Placing individual lines of text below each other

It is often necessary to place individual text lines at a specific distance below existing text even if the text is not defined as paragraph text. To achieve this, you do not need to measure the distance and place the start point of the text by entering an offset.

To place individual lines of text below each other

1. Double-click the existing text.

   Or:

   Click the existing text with the right mouse button and select Properties on the shortcut menu.

   The Edit text dialog box opens. The existing text is selected.

2. Check the setting of Paragraph text:
   • If Paragraph text is selected (the icon is pressed in), the new line is added to the paragraph text and thus becomes a part thereof.
   • If Paragraph text is not selected, the new line is attached as a discrete line to the existing text.

     Note: If you switch off Paragraph text for making modifications, the existing paragraph will be resolved into discrete lines of text.

3. Insert a new line in the Edit text dialog box.
4. Place the text using CTRL+ENTER or OK.
