Shape Handling 173

Text Panel SmartShapes

Find the Text Panel SmartShapes in the ONLINE CONTENT CATALOG under "COMPONENTS"
> "PRINT & WEB COMPONENTS". Or under the "INSERT" > "PANELS" > "TEXT PANEL / MORE
TEXT PANELS… " menu.

You can freely edit the text using the TEXT TOOL. If you hover over the SmartShape
control handles (display by selecting using the SELECTOR TOOL or the QUICKSHAPE TOOL)
you will see a tooltip explaining the function of each handle. The functionality depends on
the style of the panel.

Generally the panels allow you to...

• Adjust the width and height (and the text re-flows),
• Change the margin width around the text
• Round the corners of the whole panel.
• You can also rotate the whole object and it remains fully functional.
