Applying Text
You can add text to any picture and easily change the text font, font color, font
size, alignment, and emphasis. You start by adding a text box, and then you edit
the text in the box. A text box is its own layer on the Stack.
To add text:
1. On the Text menu, click Insert Text.
A text box appears.
2. Type your text. As you add text, the text box will automatically expand
vertically to fit all of your text.
3. To change the width of the text box, select the text box and drag one of
the side resize handles.
4. To move the text box, select it, hover the mouse pointer over the edge
of the text box until the move handle appears, and then drag the move
handle.
Once you’ve added the text, you can select the text to edit it. You can also select
the text and use the toolbar buttons to change formatting. When text is selected,
the following tools are available on the toolbar for formatting:
• The Font menu lets you choose between 140 different
fonts.
• The Font Size menu lets you choose font sizes from 8 to 620 points.
• The Font Color button lets you choose from a standard palette of
colors or choose a custom color.
• The Bold button adds bold formatting to the text.
• The Italic button adds italic formatting to the text.
• The Underline button underlines the text.
• The Alignment button has menu choices for Left, Right, Center, and
Justify.
• The Bullets and Numbers button lets you apply or cancel formatting
for bulleted or numbered lists.
