Add Text to an Annotation

To add text to an annotation:

Right-click the annotation object and select Add ('Edit') Text from the pop-up menu.
A text box appears. The location of the text box depends on the type of annotation.
- For ovals and rectangles, the text box appears inside the oval or rectangle.
- For lines, the text box appears within the line. The following display shows a text box within a line.
- For arrows, the text box appears at the tail end of the arrow.
- For markers and images, the text box appears beneath the marker or image.
Enter text in the box.
If you want to format the text, select the entire text string. Then use the Formatting toolbar to change the appearance of the font. For formatting options, see Format Text That Has Been Added to an Annotation.

For an oval or rectangle, the text is placed inside the oval or rectangle by default. The text wraps when it reaches the boundary of the annotation object. If there is insufficient space for the text that wraps, then the oval or rectangle increases its size to make space.
