The text box included in Power BI has very limited formatting options. The following items would make the text box more useful: -Bullet/Numbering -Spell Check -Strikethrough -Subscript -Superscript -More Fonts The text box also tends to revert back to the default font randomly and the highlighting behavior is awkward. While the text box is not an advanced feature it should have basic functionality and should be useful.

- The text box should also support formatting that allows for tabbed indentions.
- They also need to add options for line spacing, or, in general, reduce the amount of space between lines. It looks about double-spaced by default, which is garbage.
- We really should be allowed to set a default formatting for textboxes e.g. size and font. Have found that the default text size is too small on laptops and so we constantly have to select a larger font size for each use of a textbox. They also revert back to the original default size randomly, especially when you delete a section of text
- Would also be great to have line and letter spacing options!!!! Please
- if you change a font then switch tabs, switch back the font has gone back to the default!

Agreed; Text boxes should share many of the same formatting options as typing an email. In addition, you should be able to apply shadows/effects to items like you can in other MS Products. I also agree that the selecting/highlighting in a text box is very awkward and frustrating at times.- I want to select multiple text box and want to change a font or font color. But when I select multiple text boxes PowerBi is opening multiple formatting bar and I have to select same font for each formatting bar which is very time consuming. If have 20 text boxes which needs same formatting then powerbi should let me select multiple text box and only one foramting bar and not 20 at the same time. This seems to very basic thing that is not implemented yet.
- Line spacing needs to be fixed. Looks horrible when changing font size.
- Text boxes as they stand are not useful due to too few formatting options. Basic text editing formatting is needed. An example set of what I would expect to see in text boxes can be found in any of the other office applications when inserting a text box.
- Not only are the options limited, but they are not very useful. Too much white space & padding. No way to copy/paste text widgets.
