Text style
Displays the style for a text box.
Font
Lists and applies the available fonts.

Width factor
Sets the text width. The default is 1.0, or 100% text aspect ratio (width to height).
To modify existing text, select the Dynamic Width Factor mode on the Text Box ribbon to adjust the text width by changing the text box size. Select and drag the width handles on the text box to the required size, and the software adjusts the text accordingly.

Lists the available font styles.
Underline
Underlines text.
Language
Lists and applies a language for text in a text box. If you use text characters from more than one language in a text box, the option you specify in this box determines the way the lines wrap in the paragraph.
Units space
Sets the paragraph to paper units or to world units. You can change this control only when you are creating new styles from the Format Styles or Format Text Box dialog boxes. When you view this control from the Properties dialog box, it is read-only. You can change the control from the Info tab because all paragraphs contained within a text box must exist in the same units.
Within the drawing environment, "world units" is synonymous with the term "model units" found in other CAD packages.
Font size type
Specify the method for measuring font size: Ascender, Cap, or Tile.
Text color
Sets the color of the text.
Alignment
Sets the alignment of the text.
Line spacing
Sets the line spacing of the text:
-
Single sets the line spacing for each line to display the largest font in the line.
-
1.5 sets the line space for the line to one-and-a-half that of single lines.
-
Double sets the line spacing for the line to twice that of single lines.
Paragraph spacing
Specifies the amount of space before and after paragraphs. No spacing exists before the first paragraph and or after the last paragraph.
Before
Adds space before a paragraph. This value is set in the current working units, not in points.
After
Adds space after a paragraph. This value is set in the current working units, not in points. You can set the units using Units on the Format menu.
