Merging Text

If you are working with or creating a document with multiple text boxes, you have the option of merging them for easier use.

You can choose between three types of text merging:

• Auto Merge on Page: Canvas X Draw merges all of the text on the selected page. If you have a document with multiple pages, you will need to apply this setting on each page.

• Auto Merge Selection: Canvas X Draw merges all of the selected text objects, maintaining hard returns.

• Merge Selection: Canvas X Draw merges all of the selected text objects into a continuous flow of texts in a paragraph text object. (Does not maintain hard returns.)
