For simple character-string text on forms, consider using the TextLabel component instead.

Format the text using the Format menu or Format toolbar.

Edit the text either in the text property or in-place on the design surface. To edit on the design surface, double-click to get an insertion point. Then you can select text and use the Format toolbar, Format menu, or Font Property Builder (from the Inspector , click the fontName tool).

HTML tags are applied to the text.

If the Text component is a label for a control, you can assign a mnemonic. For this to work, the Text component must immediately precede the control in the z order.
