Så här använder du det här kommandot...

#### Från kontextmenyn:

Text box consolidation joins several text boxes into a single text box, enabling text reflow inside the resulting box.

The Consolidate Text command is especially useful for editing PDF documents with LibreOffice Draw.

The function inspects the text fragments to see if they end in sentence-ending punctuation. If not, then the next text box's content is appended to it instead of starting a new paragraph. You must manually fix paragraphing, and set paragraph properties after consolidation.

## Remarks

- The resulting text box will be inserted into the current layer.

- The resulting text box will be unnamed.

- The title and description of the individual text boxes will be lost after consolidation.

- The previous text box objects are deleted after consolidation.

- When consolidating lists, the list's layout may be affected by the position of the punctuation. In this case, you will need to manually restore the layout. For example, when using the numbering of style "1.", the resulting list items may be split after the dot.

- For better results, combine adjacent text boxes with similar paragraph formatting. Character formatting inside the text boxes is preserved. When combining text boxes with different paragraph styles, you may need to manually restore the original text layout.
