Character Settings dialog box

How to get there

  1. Click the Text tool . Double-click a text block handle; the editing frame appears. Select the text you want to change.
  2. Choose Text > Character Settings.

What it does

The Character Settings dialog box contains all the font settings, as well as the baseline shift, superscript, and tracking settings (also available separately in the Text menu). Use this dialog box to see what character formats are in use for the selected text, and to make changes to more than one setting at once.

Note: Outline and Shadow are only available in compiled PostScript documents. Also, Finale does not provide special support for bitmap fonts. To get the best screen display results, use PostScript and TrueType fonts. Use ATM and PostScript fonts if a TrueType version is not available for display.

To view this dialog box, click the Text tool . Double-click a text block handle; the editing frame appears. Select the text you want to change, then choose Character Settings from the Text menu.
