Inserting Text and Pictures

The easiest way to insert text


is to click inside the
placeholder. We type the text
that we like and it will appear
inside the placeholder.
We can also insert a text box and type text inside of
it. To insert a text box, we do the following steps:
1. Go to the Ribbon, and click the Insert tab.
2. Click the Text Box command.
3. Click and hold, then drag to draw the text
box
4. Type the next that we like in the text box.
To resize a text box, click the
text box so that sizing handles
will appear. Use any of the
sizing handles to drag our text
box to become bigger or
smaller.
To move a text box, just click
the text box, then click its
edge. Drag the text box to
where we want it to be.
We can also resize and move
placeholders like a normal
text box.
