5. Working with Text
This section of the documentation explains how text works in Sophie books. In this release of Sophie, text editing is limited; in future releases, more functionality will be added. The way text works now is not necessarily the way it will work in the future.
For now, a text frame is added to a Sophie page by using Insert > Text. This will insert a new 280 x 210 pixel text frame.
You'll note that there's a special halo visible, the text halo:
If you click on this, you can open the text HUD, which looks like this:
The text HUD lets you change the font, size, and whether the type is bold, italic, underlined, or struck through. For now, this applies to all text in a frame.
Current text behavior is somewhat odd: there's no cursor, and the text insertion point is always at the end of text. You can use BACKSPACE to delete text. This will change in future iterations of Sophie.
