This dialog box is displayed after selecting the Text button in the Code Table Editor dialog box accessed via the Tables/Code Table commands.
The dialog box is used to view or edit the text attributes stored against the currently selected feature code in the currently selected code table.
Text attribute settings stored in a code table may be easily accessed via the feature code to quickly predetermine the attributes that are to be applied to new text being created or existing text being edited.
Refer to the Concepts/Tables topic for a more detailed description of the benefits and uses of code tables.
