Use TEXT to create a single line of text. Use DTEXT to create one or more lines of text, ending each line when you press ENTER. Each text line is an object that you can relocate, reformat, or otherwise modify.
When you create single-line text, you assign a text style and set alignment on the command line. The alignment determines what part of the text character aligns with the insertion point. The text style sets the default characteristics of the text object. You cannot apply formatting to individual words and characters.
The text styles used for single-line text are the same as those used for multiline text. When you create text, you assign an existing style by entering its name at the Style prompt.
You can compress single-line text to fit between points that you specify. This option stretches or squeezes the text to fill the designated space.
As you create text, you can align it horizontally. That is, you can justify it with one of the alignment options shown in the following illustrations. Left alignment is the default. To left-align text, do not enter an option at the Justify prompt.
