You can use the Text Fill tab of the Mimic Properties window to define the default settings for the background of text boxes that you add to Mimics. This is useful when you know that you need to add multiple text boxes to a Mimic, each with the same color or style of background. Rather than configure the fill settings for each text box separately, you can define the default fill settings for text boxes. After doing this, each text box that you add will already have the default fill settings in place. You can make further adjustments to each text box by configuring its own settings separately if required.
Depending on the method that you use to display the Mimic Properties window, the settings you define will be applied to:
- New Mimics on your client PC (if you access the Mimic Properties window via the Options window—see Defining the Default Mimic Properties for New Mimics).
- A specific Mimic (if you access the Mimic Properties window via the Properties option or command on a Mimic—see Defining the Default Mimic Properties for a Specific Mimic).
When you have displayed the Mimic Properties window using the appropriate method for your needs, define the Text Fill settings as required. The various Text Fill settings work in the same way as the similarly named settings on the Fill tab of the Text Properties window (see Editing a Text Box).
