You can add text to your layout, such as titles, footnotes, copyright date, and other important information that explains your map. The text that you add is within a text frame that can be moved anywhere in the layout.
Each text frame holds up to 2047 characters.
To add text to your layout:
-
On the LAYOUT tab, click the Text
icon.
- Click where you want to add text to your layout.
- Type your text in the text frame.
- When you are done typing, click anywhere else in the layout or press the Esc key.
To edit your text, double-click on the text frame to active it and then make your changes.
Note: If you are editing text while the layout zoom is not set to 100% and your cursor disappears, pressing the left or right arrow keys redisplays the cursor. This is a known issue with the operating system.
