You can adjust the font, size, style (bold, italic, underline), alignment of the text within the box, and create superscripts and subscripts using the tools in the Font ribbon group, or by right-clicking the annotation and selecting from the mini-toolbar.

You change the text characteristics for notes, dimensions, and tables at the same time.

	Make the text bold (Ctrl+B), italic (Ctrl+I) the text, underline (Ct+U), or strikethrough the note text.

	Left, center, or right-justify the note text.

To format text

All text within a note boundary – singular or multiple lines of text – aligns to the format you set.

To change the text formatting for an entire note, dimension, or table, select one or more in the Design window. Hold Ctrl to select more than one or draw a box in the Design window.

Place your cursor at the location in the text where you want to change the formatting. To change the text formatting for only some of the text in a note, dimension, or table, select only the text you want to change.
Use the tools in the Font ribbon group to format the text.

To create a superscript or subscript, select a preset amount from the Vertical Text Offset drop-down, or select Custom and enter a custom amount to raise or lower the text.
