Adding a Text box

Text field - enter text content
Font formatting - font type, bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, size, color, and shadow behind the text.
Alignment - word wrap, align text inside the text box (left, center, justified or right, bottom, middle, top), Letter spacing, Line spacing.
Text Overflow behavior- select how the text object will respond to different sizes of screens.
There are two options:
- Ellipsis- when the text overflows, three dots will be displayed in the end to indicate the displayed text is longer than what the user sees.
  A number of rows is defined as the maximum number of rows that text will be split into.
  This is the default behavior for new text objects
- Responsive- the text is automatically scaled when there is a change in the object size, or the workbook size
Link - add a URL so it acts as a simple 'button' when clicked. Please see our detailed guidance on using a Button control.
