## This article summarises how to add text to your event plan.

Text can be particularly useful for any annotations or labels you wish to place on or near objects on your event plan.

### How to add a text to OnePlan:

1\) Select the text function at the top-middle of the studio screen:

2\) Click the cursor (I-beam) to the position where you want to place the text:

***Image: Placing text example***

3\) Once you have placed the object, you can do the following in the objects properties panel to customise your text:

1. Change the name of the text
2. Change the colour of the text (the default colour is set to black)
3. Change the background colour of the text box (the default is set to a white background)
4. Change the opacity of the text
5. Change the size of the text

### **How To Change The Size of The Text**

 There is a second method for adjusting the size of your text. 

You can resize the text box by dragging the boundary box (one of the four corners of the text) to shrink or expand it.

### **How To Rotate The Text**

You can rotate the text by clicking the rotate handler in the middle of the text and pulling to the desired angle.

### **How To Add More Than One Line Of Text**

Should you wish to add multiple lines to the text box, you can switch to the next line using either **shift+enter** **OR** **alt+enter** to achieve this.

 

### **Deleting placed text**

Should the user wish to delete the text you can use the contextual menu (right click delete) or press the delete action on the keyboard.

### How can I change the order of this text object?

You can adjust the order of text using two methods: the keyboard shortcuts or the right-click menu to send text to back/front. See the layer management/Z order article [here](https://support.oneplan.io/layer-management-z-ordering-in-oneplan?hsLang=en) for more information.
