Changing text

Double click on the text you want to edit to go into the TEXT TOOL, or just click the
TEXT TOOL icon on the main Toolbar.

You can drag over the text to select it and then type to replace it, just as in a Word
Processor.

To change the font, drag select the region of text to be changed and select from the font
dropdown menu on the InfoBar
You can add new passages of text to the design by just clicking and typing, or, to create
a block of text with a set width and height, click and drag diagonally on the page while in
the TEXT TOOL and then enter your text into the text frame that appears. You can easily
make a passage of text automatically flow around photos and other objects on your
page. All you have to do is right click on an object and choose “REPELLING & ANCHORING”
to make that object repel text that is underneath it. See the Repelling Text section (on
page 250) of the TEXT TOOL help for details.
Or you can anchor an object to a particular point in text, so that the object follows the text
as the anchor point moves. Right click on it and choose ANCHOR TO TEXT. After
anchoring, move the object to where you want it relative to the text, using the SELECTOR
TOOL. Now as you edit the text and the anchor point moves, the anchored object moves
too. See the Text Tool chapter (on page 252) for more details.

Adding Pages

You can easily add more pages to your design to create multi-page web sites or multi-
page documents. Simply drag a page template from the Designs Gallery (on page 28)
onto your document and it will be added as a new page immediately following the current
page.
