Note: The bold and italic attributes are available only if the current font supports them.

3 Choose Format > Font > Italic (or press Command-I) to add the italic attribute.

in the same text object.
Setting Text Object Properties
The Text Object Inspector appears once you type text on a menu or select an existing
text object. It contains basic settings for configuring the text.
• Text: This area contains the text displayed in the text object. You can also enter or edit
the text here. To add additional lines, press Return.
• Shadow: Select this checkbox to apply the menu’s drop shadow setting to this text
object.
• Position: Select the justification to apply to the text object (left, center, or right).
• Rotation: Rotate the knob or enter a value to rotate the text object. The values can go
from 0.0 to 359.9, with a value of 0.0 as normal.
About Text Objects
Any text objects you add to your menu will become part of the menu’s background when
the project is built.
While you should avoid overlapping buttons, you can feel free to overlap text objects
because they are not involved in navigation. Because text objects can be overlapped, use
care when adding them to the menu—those added later have a higher priority and will
cover up those added earlier.
