How do I place text above & below a line? In SS4 the option is shown in the Place Text dialog but seems to have been removed in CE?
Unknown said:Hi Stuart This has been removed from the place Text dialog and placed in its own dialog... Look in .. Annotate Tab > Text > More > Place text along
Under the Placement section of the Home Ribbon is where the Place Text icon is showing.
To the right of this is a grey down arrow that has two extra tools available to you.
Yes, the Method of Placement list has now been separated from the Place Text tool but it was always a separate dialog box.
This has been simplified and is less confusing in relation to the operation of Text Styles for size, angle, justification etc.

Hi Andrew
This is what we had in V8i.... .
In CE these tools are no longer part of the Place Text workflow. Thus you have to swap tools to set the Text placement type and then place text, thus moving from one step process to 2. As you can see above In V8i its ALL in the same dialog

It appears it is only those 4 options that have been separated to the new Place Text Along tool.
I could raise an Enhancement Request to development to add something into the Place Text tool maybe to swap easily over between the tools.
Or do you think it would be better just to have all of these icons in the single tool? I am thinking that would make it quite cumbersome.
What do you think?

If it was me. I would do the following;
Add the options as a menu and sub menu to the Place text tool.
