Event Type
Text

Use the Text event type to display a word or sentence.  You can type the text to show in the Event Editor or you can use a stimulus list.  Using a stimulus list limits the text that can be displayed to a single line, whereas there are no limits if you type the text directly in the Event Editor.

When the Text event type is selected:

The Event Editor can be resized.  This can come in handy if you are typing a lot of text.

 

Text Settings

When you click on the Settings button, another dialog appears that provides a range of options for controlling the color, position, and other display options:
 

 

The Text Color tab let you select a fixed or variable color for the text.  A color variable can be created and edited using the Trial Variables feature.  A variable color can be sequential or random.

The Position tab lets you determine the text position and wrapping options.  You can specify either a fixed location by providing a specific pixel position or a variable location, also by using the Trial Variables feature.  A variable location can be sequential or random.

The Presentation Options tab provides additional options for doing things like showing multiple text on the screen, either in sequence or simultaneously.
