  1. Add a group container to the scene tree and name it Text.

  2. Add a font to the Text container.

  3. Open the font editor and enter a text string.

  4. Add the Mark Text plug-in to the Text container.

  5. Open the Mark Text Editor and enter a word from your text string.

    Note: Do not change the font type between texture and geometry as this will not affect the whole string when using the Mark Text plug-in.
