About RTF Files
When you add an RTF file to a project, the following occurs:
• The formatting of the text (font, style, line spacing, outline, and other styles set in the
text editing application) is preserved in the project.
• Double-clicking in the text in the Canvas activates the text entry field, which includes
a horizontal ruler at the top of the text and a scroll control to the right of the text.
• The Layout Method (in the Layout pane of the Text Inspector) is set to Paragraph.
• Margins in the original text file are preserved in the project. The size of the onscreen
text entry field is determined by the margins set in the application that created the
text. In Motion, the margins can be edited onscreen or in the Layout pane of the Text
Inspector.

• Tabs in the original text file are preserved in the project. The tabs appear as white
triangles in the ruler above the text entry field. Tabs can be moved or deleted.
