Wrapping Text

Text wraps automatically in text blocks, even if the text block is resized. To rewrap the text, select Wrap Text in the Object Info palette. Wrap Text can also be used to unwrap text in a block that has not been resized.

Creating Reversed Text

Create reversed text by adding a filled object and placing white text over it.

To create reversed text:

1.	Select Tools > Options > VectorWorks Preferences.

In the VectorWorks Preferences dialog box that opens, select the Display tab, select No fill behind text, and then click OK.

2.	Create a rectangle that is slightly larger than the reversed text to be created.

3.	Use the Attributes palette to change the rectangle’s fill to black or any other dark color.

4.	Click the Text tool from the Basic palette.

5.	Type the text.

6.	Use the Attributes palette to change the pen color of the text to white (or another reverse color).

7.	Drag the white text on top of the filled rectangle.

If necessary, change the stacking order so that the text is truly on top of the rectangle.

Reverse text can also be created by setting the fill color of a text block to black and the pen color to white. Add a space before and after the text to extend the box.
