What
do you do if your text boxes look drab? If someone's doing
a presentation on something important like preserving the
rainforest, they want it to catch the eye. |  |
 |
I
would suggest color... You can make your text box any
color on a Toucan's beak, and then some. |
|
Adding color to a text
box
1. Click the text box to select it.
2. On the drawing toolbar, click the arrow
beside the Fill Color button, then click the green color
box. The text box will turn green.

|
What
if you want to further offset your text box? Can you give
it an outline? | |
|
You
sure can. And you don't even need a ruler... |

Outlining a text box
As you have seen, the thick gray border that appears
around a text box is temporary and disappears when the
text is deselected. If you want a permanent outline around
your text box, create one using the drawing toolbar.
Try adding a blue dotted outline to a text box.
1. Click the text box to select it. A border will
appear around the text box.
2. On the drawing toolbar, click the arrow
beside the Line Color button, then click the blue color
box.
3. Next, click the Line Style button, and then
click 3 pt.
4. Finally, click the Dash Style button, and then
click the square dot dash option. A dash style box will
appear.
5. Click outside the text box to deselect it.
