Create and fill a text
box
If you checked the automatic
text box feature in the initial dialog box, you'll
already have a text box available. If you did not
check the option, you will now create a text box.
Either text box will appear as a rectangle with a
dotted outline.
- To create a text box, click on the text box
tool, and your cursor will change to a small
crosshair symbol.
- Click and drag to form a text box. The
dimensions of the box are defined by the point
at which the mouse button is released. When the
box has been formed, the text tool is activated
and a blinking text insertion bar appears within
the text box.
- To insert text in the box, simply begin
typing. The text will continue until it reaches
the limits of the box, and then automatically
form a new line.
When the text box is active, you will have
access to "handles" on each corner, and side of the
box. You may change the dimensions of the box by
tugging on any of those handles, and the text will
automatically reflow within the box
