Customizing Headline Effects

You can create headlines with a variety of shapes, styles, and special effects.

Customizing a headline:

1.  In the Create a Headline dialog, select the Customize option.

2.  Type in your text in the Enter Headline Text Here text box. You will see a preview of your headline in the preview area.

3.  Set the font for your headline. A headline can have only one font.

4.  Click any of the Alignment buttons to apply left, center, right, or justified (full) alignment. These buttons will be unavailable if you have selected Vertical orientation for your headline in the Shape pane of the Create a Headline dialog.

5.  To continue, click any of the six tabs to apply a wide range of special effects to your headline. You can also click the OK button to apply the changes you have made so far, or click Cancel to leave your project unchanged.
