Style → Content

Setting	Options
Alignment, Vertical alignment	Left / centre / right; Top / Middle / Bottom
Font, Decoration	Font, size, colour, bold, italic; None / Underline / Strikethrough
Line height, Letter spacing	1–3 (default 1.4); 0–10 px
Wrap text	On for new Text components; text in older reports does not wrap
Overflow	Scroll bar (default), Cut off, Ellipsis

The inserted value goes where the cursor was, as a placeholder such as {{filter.Region}} or {{date:YYYY-MM-DD}}. Readers see the current value, updated when filters or parameters change. See Dynamic Values.

Style → Effects sets the background (solid or gradient), border, padding (default 5 px), opacity and hover effect.
