If you select User Defined, the edit box provided allows you to enter the required text. Note: text can consist of several lines if you insert carriage returns (Enter key).
If you select one of the automatic text items, the edit box displays the current value. Note that although you can't edit this text, you can select and copy to the clipboard with Ctrl-C or a right click.

If checked, long lines are broken to fit in the rectangle.
Rotate
Rotates the text 90 degrees counter-clockwise.
Font Controls

Allows you to select the font type and size for the Rectangle text. The Multi-Plot Options dialog Font global controls will not override fonts or font sizes specified by this option.
Get Default Font

Common Sub-View Options
Draw to screen
This check box enables and disables the drawing of the rectangle contents to the screen. Disabling the drawing can speed up the frequent screen refreshes caused by typical operations to set up a Multi-Plot sheet.

If selected, the background for the entire rectangle will be transparent. Conversely if not selected the entire rectangle background will be opaque (white).
Bounding rectangle
This option enables and disables the display of the rectangle's boundary when plotting. Clicking on the plus button (+) allows you to change the line type and color of the bounding rectangle.
Row Dividers
If selected, the rows of text will be divided by horizontal lines.
