The addtext plugin allows new text to be added to a page in any desired font or colour. It may also be used to remove existing text from a page.

Addtext is the primary EscapeE plugin, and may be accessed directly from the EscapeE window's pop-up menu:

Click to expand/collapse hidden textAdd text
1.Open the document and display the page for the added text.
2.Right-click on the page then choose Add text from the pop-up menu.
A new field to contain the new text is created automatically, and the addtext dialog opened.
3.Set up the text string, font, position and rotation: see also To add new text.

To disable the addtext field, sweep out the text or click on the field; then select Delete text from the pop-up menu. See also Delete text below.

To reinstate the addtext field, click on the field then select Enable field... from the pop-up menu, or open the Fields dialog (Ctrl D) and tick the Enabled checkbox.

If the original page contains text that you would simply like to remove:

1.Sweep out the text for removal.
2.Right-click and choose Delete text.
3.You can make adjustments to the field set-up as necessary - see To define a field.

Note that only "real" text strings in a 'Delete text' field can be removed, not images of text.
