Adding a text frame to a page

Click on the T icon on the top right menu bar. An empty text frame will appear on the selected page. The text editor will also open, ready to add your custom text and attributes. 


Type in the text box to start customizing your text frame.  


For longer text, pull down on the small bottom right handle of the text box.


To reopen text options, either select a text frame then click the Text button on the top menu, or simply double-click on the text frame.


Text Style Options

Color 


Click on the color chip to select a new color from the color editor.

 


Background Color


Color the background of the text frame, to create a label-type effect. The color will apply to the entire frame, so resize the frame to create the shape you want.

Font type


Memento provides access to a built-in library of fonts.

New fonts will be added to Memento's 100+ options in the next months. A catalog and advance selection tools are in the works.

Note that custom fonts may not be added to online software, since apps use a build in library of commercially distributable and thoroughly tested compatible fonts that will work with web browsers.

Font Size


Choose a font size - either choosing a preset, or type a custom value (hit Enter on your keyboard to set).

Resize to Fit


If your text frame as a limited size in which it can be placed, turn on Resize to Fit. If possible, the text will display at the maximum size, but resize down if the text frame width cannot accommodate it.

Adjust the level of blur - from a hard edge (0) to a diffuse shadow.

Shadow Color


Click the color swatch to adjust the color, shade and opacity of the shadow.
