The text frame also offers a context menu, which opens on right mouse click:
The commands Forward and Backward influence the arrangement of frames if you work with overlapping frames. These commands will put the selected frame one level to the top and one level to the back. The layer number in the item will change accordingly. By default, all elements placed on the sheet belong to layer 10. Layers 9-0 are on top of layer 10, layer 11 and bigger are below layer 10.
Use the commands Font family, Font size and font style to specify how your text should look.
In Alignment you choose from Left, Right, Centered or Justified.
If you want to have your text or the background colored of the element, use the commands Text color and Background color.
