Adding text to a surround

You can include a paragraph of text with the other Map surround elements. You can set a text style, import text from another file, set the position of a paragraph, and change the Quick Style format of the paragraph text. A paragraph element is anchored to a neatline or to the Area if a neatline is not set and positioned in reference to that anchor. Multiple styles are not allowed in individual text elements.

You can also rotate a paragraph. Text remains perpendicular to the baseline of the element.

To add a text to an Area, see Creating a surround. To open the Paragraph Properties window, see Setting surround element properties.

From the Maps tree, right-click a paragraph element and click Properties.
Click the General tab and type in the Text box. If you want to change the font of the text, click the Style button and create a style (see Selecting a style).
Enter a value that represents the angle of rotation you want to apply to the text in the Angle spin box and choose a unit of angular measurement from the list box. If you want to import text from a text file, click Import Text, locate and select a file in the File Selector window, and click Save.
Click OK.
