Text

Add and style text, including single words in their own colour, weight or size.

Add and edit

Choose Text in the toolbar (or Insert → Text box).
Double-click a text to edit the words. Click away to finish.
Drag the side handles to change the width; the height follows the words. Drag a corner to scale the whole text.

Style the whole text

The toolbar has the font, size, weight, colour and alignment. Choose Adjust for the full Text section:

Setting	Notes
Font	Brand fonts are listed first.
Size	4 to 1,000.
Weight	Light, Regular, Medium, Semibold, Bold, Extra bold, Black. Not every font has every weight.
Line height	The space between lines, as a multiple of the size. 1.1 to 1.3 suits headlines.
Letter spacing	Positive spreads letters out, negative tightens them.
Colour	One colour, or a Gradient with a start colour, an end colour and an angle.
Outline	A line around the letters, with its own colour and width.

Style single words

Often one word in a headline should stand out. You do not need to select text for that:

Select the text and choose Adjust.
Under Style single words, choose what to change: Colour, Weight, Italic or Size.
Pick the colour, weight or size.
Click the words that should have it. Click a styled word again to return it to normal.

Styles combine: a word can be both coloured and bold.
Sizes are relative to the text (Much smaller, Smaller, Larger, Much larger, Double), so the word keeps its proportion when you resize the text or make another format.
When you edit the words, styles stay on the words they were on.
Clear word styles removes them all.

Effects

Under Effects: a Drop shadow (colour, blur, offset), a Blur, and a Blend mode (Normal, Multiply, Screen, Overlay, Darken, Lighten). These work on every kind of layer.

Same words in every format

When a design has several formats, editing the words of a text also updates that text in the other formats. Turn this off with View → Edit text in all formats if one format needs different wording.
