4. 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.

Inserting text frames & editing text

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.

This frame can be modified just like any other frame using the frame halos and handles. When you click inside the frame, a cursor appears and you can add text. When the cursor is in text, a special halo is visible, the text halo:

Clicking this allows styling text. At the bottom right of text frames is the chain halo, which is used for chaining text.

Copying & pasting text

Text can be cut, copied, and pasted using the keyboard shortcuts, control-x, control-c, and control-v. Text copied from outside of Sophie may not retain its styling correctly.
