Creating a Number |
You can create an ordinal number (for example, 3rd or 25th) to emphasize important dates in your calendar or for other projects. A number is composed of a single number plus an optional suffix, and a graphic.
To add a number:
1. Click the Create a Custom Graphic button on the Objects
toolbar or choose Custom Graphics from the Insert menu, and then choose Number from the submenu. The Create a Number dialog appears.
2. Type in the number you want to use in the Enter Number box.
3. Click the Smart Suffix checkbox to add an ordinal suffix (for example, st, rd) to the number.
4. Select an effect for your number by clicking an option in the Effects scrolling list.
5. Specify a font for your number.
6. Click the Color button to apply color to your number.
7. Select the graphic you want in the Graphics list. Click the More Graphics button to see more graphics from The Print Shop collections.
8. Use the Color button to apply color to your graphic. (If the Color button is dimmed, color is not an option for the selected graphic.)
9. Move and resize your number in the editable preview area.
10. You will see your number displayed in the editable preview area. As you make additional changes, such as adding a graphic to your number, you will see those changes displayed as well.
