Editing: DALFAST Studio guides

Editing text: words, font, size and colour

  1. Double-click a text box to type in it (on a phone: tap it, then Edit).
  2. With it selected, the toolbar above the page changes font, size, colour, bold, alignment, spacing and lists. On a phone the bar at the bottom shows Font, Size and Colour: each opens a short panel and the design stays in view.
  3. To make text bigger or smaller, use Size; the box grows with the words.
  4. Smart write (on the same toolbar) rewrites, shortens, changes the tone or translates it.

Selecting and arranging

Shift- or Ctrl-click items to select several, or drag a box on an empty part of the page. The toolbar then aligns, spaces, groups or colours them together. Arrange in the menu sends items forward or back; the lock keeps one in place.

Page size, portrait and landscape

On a computer: the page size is in the toolbar above the page (for example “A4 · Portrait ▾”). Press it to pick a print, book, social or screen size, type in Find a size (“A4”, “story”, “6 x 9”), or enter your own width and height under Custom size. ⟲ Landscape or ⟲ Portrait beside it turns the page in one press.

On a phone: tap Size in the bar at the bottom; Portrait and Landscape are at the top of the panel.

What is on the page is scaled to fit the new size; Undo puts it back.

Copies in other sizes

Resize in the menu above the page (Copy to sizes on a phone) makes copies in other sizes, re-laid out rather than stretched, and checks each one. To change this design's own size, see Page size, portrait and landscape.

Rulers and guides

  1. View → Show rulers (or Shift+R). They use mm for print and px for screen designs; click the corner square to switch to cm, inches or px.
  2. Drag from the top ruler down onto the page (or the left ruler across) to place a guide. Items snap to guides as you move them; hold Shift while dragging a guide to place it freely.
  3. Drag a guide back onto a ruler to remove it, or double-click it to type an exact position. View also adds centre, thirds or margin guides. Guides never print or export.
