Microsoft RTF (rtf)
•
Plain text (txt) (ASCII) with ANSI, Unicode, Shift JIS, GB2312, Chinese Big 5,
Cyrillic, GB18030, Greek, Turkish, Baltic, and Central European encoding.
One of the advantages of importing text from a file, rather than copying and pasting it,
is that imported text retains its character and paragraph formatting (by default). For ex-
ample, text from an RTF file retains its font and style specifications in Illustrator, unless
you choose to remove formatting when you import the text.
1.
Choose View > Fit Artboard In Window, and then choose Select > Deselect.
2.
In the Layers panel (Window > Layers), click the visibility column (the eye icon [
]) of the Tails layer to temporarily hide some of the artwork.
3.
Choose File > Place. In the Lessons > Lesson07 folder, select the L7_text.txt file,
select Show Import Options, and click Place.
Note
The figures are from the Windows OS, so the Platform option that you see
may be different on Mac OS, and that's okay.
4.
In the Text Import Options dialog box, you can set some options prior to importing
text. Leave the default settings, and then click OK.
