Working with Text elements

How to change size and color as well as work with features like Glossary definitions, Tooltips and more

dominKnow | ONE has a whole range of features to help you work with Text elements.

Here's a round up of some of the more popular features, including:

  • Changing Font Type and Style (color)
  • Adding Icons to a text element
  • Adding Glossary definitions to a word or phrase
  • Adding a Tooltip to a word or phrase 

Changing font type and color for the whole element

A Text element's font Type and color are tied to the Theme's design settings.

The Type is similar to a Style in a Word doc.

Changing the Type changes the whole text element.

You can also change the element to a different Theme-based color. 

This sets the color at the level of the element as a whole.

Using inline styling on text

A text element's Style tab options and the Type options on the Format tab are all determined by Theme settings.

In addition to these Theme-design settings you can also apply inline styling to text within an element.

When you are editing a Text Element there are two places where you can apply inline text styling, the inline styling mini-toolbar and the Font and Paragraph sections of the Format tab.

NOTE: Using inline styling on text overrides the style settings of the Theme you are using. So in general, we recommend using caution when applying Inline styling options to text.

Inserting Images within a Text Element

When editing a text element, you can insert an image inline (within the text element) by selecting the Image icon on the mini-text editing toolbar.

Once the image is added in the text element, you can double-click it to open the Image Properties panel to add alt text and choose display settings.

Note: Themes have settings that you can use to set standard display properties for Images added within Text elements.

Displaying System or Custom Variables in a Text Element

As you create a Project, you’re setting up all kinds of information like the Project’s title, the names of Pages it contains, or what the passing score is for a test.

A lot of that information is available as a System Variable that you can display in a text element.

For example, if you create a Title Page template that displays the system variable for the Project’s Title, an author never has to edit or change the text field.

If you have an information page that displays the system variable for the passing score  you never have to remember to update the page, it will always display the correct set score even if the passing score is changed.

Adding Icons to a Text Element

You can include Icons within a Text element.

The icons are font-based, so they take on the same Theme attributes as the text element as a whole. Or you can use inline styling to give them some emphasis.

Glossary Definitions

You can add Glossary definitions to any word or phrase in a Text element.

The Glossary definitions are a shared resource across projects, so you can create a definition once and use it on any other Project.

Learners can roll over the word to see the tooltip.
