If you want to change to a different font, or if you frequently change text formatting, it
may be easier to use the Font panel and Text Inspector to format text. These tools are
described in the following sections.
You can also create engaging visual effects with text by changing its shadow color,
opacity, and orientation on the page. To learn more about these options, see
Chapter 7, “Changing Object Properties.”
