Working with boxes
There are three types of boxes: Text boxes, picture boxes, and no-content boxes (boxes
with a content of None). All three box types can contain color, shades, blends, and
frames. When you draw a text box, picture box, or no-content box, the available
controls correspond to the box type you create. But you can import text into picture
boxes that contain pictures, and you can import pictures into text boxes that contain
text. In addition to changing content type, you can change the shape and other
