for your title) and then type in the box. The border dictates where the text
wraps to the next line. This is handy for entering several lines of text.
To make a text bounding box:
1. Select the Text tool. The pointer becomes an I-beam cursor.
2. Click where you want to place the top-left corner of the box, and drag
down and to the right. Release the mouse button when the box is the
size and shape you want.
3. Type the text.
Selecting Text
Once you’ve created text, you can select it so that you can move it or per-
form another operation on it. You can select text in two ways: Select the text
object (the text’s bounding box), or select the individual text characters.
To select a text object using the Edit tool:
1. Select the Edit tool.
2. Click anywhere inside the text object.
A red bounding box with handles appears around the text object.
