Text input for an image

Insert an image. In the Properties area you will find the Text tab. If the Properties window is not displayed in your view, right-click the image and select Properties from the context menu. You can also activate the display via Workspace / Controls / Properties.

1 Enter text in the Properties area

To label an image object, click the Text tab in the Properties area.

In the text field you can enter text and, after selecting the text, apply appropriate formatting, such as font, font size and font color. Under Alignment you can choose from the following options for positioning the text:

Props_Text_bottom

Positions the text at the bottom of the selection frame.

Props_Text_middle

The text is displayed in the center of the selection frame.

Props_Text_top

Positions the text at the top of the selection frame.

Props_Text_free

Fits the text into the given selection frame (font size is reduced if necessary).

Props_Text_belowImage

The text is displayed at the bottom of the image. This also applies if the image is displayed in a reduced size.

Enter the desired image caption in the text field. Select the text to change the default font and font size. Use  CTRL + A  to select all the text at once in the text box.

If you want the text to be a specific color, select it first. You can then choose the color using the color picker (located to the left of the font selection).
 
If you’d like to further customize the text or add a background, for example, you can find more information in the chapter on text formatting.

You can specify how the image caption appears and disappears in the Animation section.
