Paragraph text consists of one or more lines of text or paragraphs that fit within a boundary width that you specify. Each paragraph text entity you create is treated as a single entity regardless of the number of individual paragraphs or lines of text it contains.
When you create paragraph text, you first determine the paragraph's boundary width by specifying the opposite corners of a rectangle. The paragraph text automatically wraps so that it fits within this rectangle. The first corner of the rectangle determines the default attachment point of the paragraph text. You can change the location of the attachment point in reference to the rectangle, and you can determine the direction in which text flows within the rectangle. You can also select the text and paragraph format text style, text height, and the rotation angle of the entire paragraph text entity.
You can select these properties in steps 7 and 8.
To create paragraphs, press Enter and continue typing.
Your selections affect highlighted text, or if no text is highlighted, new text when you type it.
