Helpful Tips


The Document Layout is found under the "Views" menu, and allows you to view a simple schematic of your document. You can easily navigate through a multi-page document by double-clicking on the page that you would like to bring up on screen.

"Snap to Guides" is also found under the "Views" menu. By selecting or this option, your items will 'jump' to a guide when they get close enough. this can be very useful for quickly aligning several objects. It can also be very frustrating if you don't realize that it's turned on.

Step 2Create 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
