Create text style that automatically includes a box around the text.

Solution

1. Create a Text Style (Element menu > Text Styles dialog box).
2. In the Advanced tab, go to the Background panel, and set the Background Style Flag to True.
3. Set the Background Fill Color to a desired color number such as 125 for example.
4. Set the Background Border X and Background Border Y values to the desired box size. Be sure to save settings.

NOTE: Background color and box size attributes for any existing boxed text in the file, changes when new Background Text Style settings are saved.
