Display the addtext plugin dialog (see To attach a plugin to a field): the name of the field to be configured is shown in its title bar.

1.	Type the new text in the edit box; see also Entering text.

2.	Set up the Font.

3.	In the 'Positioning' panel, select the units of measurement from the drop-down list: choose from inches, cm or (1/72 inch) points.

4.	Set up the Positioning mode:

o	Click reference point to place the text relative to a corner of the page or the field area. Or

o	Click field to align the text to the boundaries of the field area.

5.	An interactive diagram is displayed:

In reference point mode, click on a corner of the page or cyan area.

In field mode, click on one of the nine alignment options.

Enter a horizontal offset distance and a vertical offset distance in the edit boxes; a zero in both boxes places the new text at the reference point.

6.	Enter a Vertical spacing for the added lines of text (see Positioning the text) or leave the edit-box blank to apply the default spacing for the selected font.
