Contents of the Edit Text Dialog Box

These options display when editing proposal text.

Toolbar Options

After you enter text in the Edit Text dialog box, highlight the text and use the toolbar options to format the text as needed. Because many of the toolbar options follow the conventional Windows formats, descriptions for them are not provided in this help topic. Refer to the list below for those options that are specific to Vantagepoint.

Field Description

Alternatively, you can place your cursor in a blank spot in the Edit Text dialog box, click the this down arrow, and then select a font. The font that you select is applied to the text that you type after the cursor.
