Inserting a Text Block

A text block is a container in which you can type text and then style the text, give it a color, or give the text block itself a shape.

To add a text block to your project:

1.  Click the Insert Text Block button on the Objects toolbar.

2.  A new text block is added to the center of your project.

3.  You can also choose Text Block from the Insert menu to add a new text block.

When a new text block is added to your project it contains placeholder text. To replace this text with your own message, double-click in the text block (or select it and press Return) and begin typing.
