Text Options and Type Effects
PhotoImpact requires that you enter text in a dialog box, but you can still change text formatting via the attribute bar. For editing text and character-level editing, you'll need to use the dialog box. The dialog box can be sized to your needs, and the formatting options can be hidden if you don't use them often.
