Creating an HTML Text Object

There may be some instances where you want a text object to change color, size, or content using HTML input. To do this, you must first configure the text object to work with HTML.

ClosedTo configure a text object to accept HTML input

  1. Select the icon on the object toolbar. Alternatively, select Text from the Create menu.

  2. Under Markup Language Containers, select HTML.

  3. Click at the desired location on the template to add the text object.

  4. Double-click on the text object to open the Text Properties dialog. Alternatively, select Properties from the object's context menu.

  5. In the navigation pane, select Markup Language from the list of available property pages.

  6. For Markup Language, verify that HyperText Markup Language (HTML) is selected.

  7. In the navigation pane, select the data source that will contain the HTML code.

  8. Click on the Data Source tab if it is not already selected.

  9. Input the desired HTML into the Embedded Data field. Alternatively, you can modify the source to automatically import HTML from another data source, such as a database or VBScript.
