Constrained
This option is only available for text entities that have been created with the Text - Between two points tool. This forces the angle of the text to be the same as the angle between the two points. Switch the option off to remove that constraint.

Enter the height of the bounding box.
Bound width

When the text is constrained to a bounding box, switch this option on to enable word-wrapping. If the option is switched off then words will be split to enable the text to exactly fit to the width of the box.
