All the tools to change text are found under Tools > Edit Text

This will open the text menu on the right hand side.


Fonts
You can change fonts in CirclePad under Tools > Edit Text > Font

Either select the piece of text, or part of it in a text box.

Format
All the tools you are familiar with from word processing are there in the Edit Text menu: bold, font size, ect... One question that always comes up is what does side to side do?

As you can see, Side To Side makes your text stretch to reach the sides of the text box.

Changing Text Color
To change text color, click on Tools > Color

Just click on the color bar to change color. Another good trick is to hold you mouse down and drag as you click on the color bar. You can see the color change on your text as you move the mouse.


Copy / Paste Text
You can copy and paste text with Tools > Edit Objects and then use Copy and Paste under Edit:

If you use the hot keys to copy (Ctrl C and Ctrl V) then CirclePad will paste where you mouse is.
