Text Frames - an Overview
In Pacesetter Embroidery Lettering Software, you can modify 
your lettering in a number of different ways once you have cre-
ated it. You can change the overall size of the text, the height, 
the slant, the spacing between letters (kerning), and so on.
There are two main methods of changing the size and shape of 
a text segment: directly, by clicking and dragging on the outline 
handles in the workspace, or indirectly, by changing the 
parameters in the Text section of the Properties Panel. The 
following sections will show you how to use handles for direct 
text manipulation; for more information about how to use the 
properties panel, see, “Adjusting Text Properties”.
Adjusting Size of a Text Segment
To change the size of a text segment manually, you can use the 
Proportional Sizing handle. This is the green arrow located on 
the top-left corner of the text frame. 
Click and drag on the Proportional Sizing Handle to change the 
overall size of the text; up to increase the size, down to 
decrease the size. Note that the size of the text changes 
proportionally; that is, if you increase the size of the segment, 
the letters will increase in height by the same degree that they 
increase in width.
Note that not all of the ways of adjusting the text will apply to all 
types of text frames; for example, the Envelope function and the 
Envelope handles, only apply to the Normal Text and Monogram 
frames only. 
Where applicable, the section will list the frame types to which 
these handle can apply; if not stated, you can assume that the 
handle is present for all frame types.
