Adding Headline Text to a Banner |
A banners text is the same as a headline. A new banner project has a placeholder headline already in place. All you have to do is double-click the placeholder headline and then type in your own text.
To add headline text to a banner:
1. Double-click the placeholder headline, or select it and press Return.
2. The Create a Headline dialog appears.
3. In the Enter Headline Text Here box, replace the placeholder text with your own.
4. Click the OK button to add the banner text, or click Cancel to leave it unchanged.
The length of a banner project is determined by the amount of text you enter in the headline text block. The more text you add, the longer the banner becomes. Because the length of the banner is directly connected to the banner text, you might not be able to move the headline. However, there is a way around this.
Steps below discuss how to hide the default banner text placeholder, set the banner length you want, and add a new headline that you can position on a banner in a way that suits your needs best.
1. Double-click the placeholder headline, or select it and press Return. The Create a Headline dialog appears.
2. In the Headline Text box, replace the placeholder text with a single dot (or any other single character).
3. Click the Face tab, then click the Color button. The Color and Texture dialog appears.
4. Select the None option in the Color and Texture dialog then click OK to apply changes to your headline. You now have a blank locked headline in your banner project.
5. Choose Banner Layout from the Edit menu. The Banner Layout dialog appears.
6. Select the Fixed Banner Length option and enter a number between 2 and 35 to set the number of pages on which your banner project will print. Click the OK button.
7. Add a headline to your project. You can move that headline around the banner as you want and alos add other objects to a banner.
