Add text

• Double-tap placeholder text, then type your own.

  Some placeholder text is written in scrambled Latin words. The text you type will appear in the language you use for your computer.

1. Tap , tap , then tap Text.

   A text box is added to your sheet (you can change how the text looks later).

2. Drag the text box to where you want it.

   If you can’t move the box, tap outside the box to deselect the text, then tap the text once to select its text box.

3. Double-tap the placeholder text, then enter your own.

4. To resize the text box, do one of the following:

   • If the box is too small for the text: Select the text box, then drag the clipping indicator (+) until all text is showing. You can also drag a selection handle.

   • If the box is too large for the text: Select the text box, then drag a selection handle to resize the text box.

   

To delete a text box, select it, then tap Delete.

The text box itself is an object that can be modified like most other objects; you can rotate the text box, change its border, fill it with a color, layer it with other objects, and more.

• Double-tap the shape to make the insertion point appear, then type your text.

  If there’s too much text to display in the shape, a clipping indicator (+) appears. To resize the shape, tap it, then drag any selection handle until all the text is showing.

You can format the text inside the shape just like any other text in your sheet.
