Formatting text

Corel PHOTO-PAINT lets you format text to enhance its appearance. You can change the font attributes, such as style and size, and you can underline, strikethrough, and overline text. You can also change the position and appearance of characters by displaying them as subscript or superscript, which is useful in drawings with scientific notations. In addition, you can also change the text case.

If you select an OpenType font that supports subscript, superscript, or case, you can apply the OpenType feature. However, if you select a font, including an OpenType font, that does not support these features, you can apply a synthesized version of the character, which Corel PHOTO-PAINT produces by altering the characteristics of the default font character. For more information, see Working with OpenType features.

You can also add underlines, strikethrough lines, and overlines to selected characters.
