Formatting Text in Annotations

When formatting text in annotations, you can change the font, style, size, colour, and justification of a selected annotation.

Note:

It is not possible to change the format of part of the text in an annotation. If a new format is chosen, the format applies to the whole of the text in the selected annotation, e.g. all the text in an annotation can be made bold or underlined.

To format text in annotations

1. Select the annotation to format by clicking on it with the mouse.

2. On the Format toolbar, make the necessary changes.

The annotation text is formatted with the applied changes.

The following example shows different text formatting applied to different annotations in the Hardware Architecture view.
