States and Text

The States & Text menu is a Multi-State Indicator Object List menu. It
allows you to define up to 16 states, and define the text and display
attributes for each state.

The menus and sub-menus are identical to those of a single Multi-State
Indicator object, except that how you define the state text information for
the 16 states will apply to all Multi-State Indicators in the Object List. The
Character Height option in the State menu applies to all Multi-State
Indicators in the Object List, and also affects the total height or size of the
entire Object List.

Character Height—This option lets you set the characters to single or

double height. If you change the attributes of a state by changing the
Character Height of the text, you affect the height of the Object List.
