Can't find a Format tab

Post by BrianG »

I was reading the discussion about the typewriter tool width in which the setting of a default text box size was suggested. That included reference to a Format tab which I can not find. I read "tab" to mean a Menu toolbar item so I may be looking in the wrong place. I have played with customizing toolbars so reset the Menu toolbar just to be sure I hadn't inadvertently removed it. What am I missing? I'm using V8.0b336.0 portable.

Hi Brian,

Thanks for the post - The Format tab is contextual and so only appears when certain tools are selected and a document is opened.

Cheers,

I suspected as much but don't see it even when a text box is active; not when entering text or when the box is selected (text box properties editable). Wait........... AhHa! It's only visible in the Ribbon UI.

Hi Brian,

Sorry - That's correct. If you're looking for the Classic UI equivalent, you're looking for the Properties Toolbar, which is enabled using Ctrl + E If I remember correctly.
