3. Set initial text properties (font, style, etc.) as needed before
typing, using the Text context toolbar, Text menu, or right-
click (choose Text Format>).
4. Type directly on the page to create the artistic text.
Once you've created an artistic text object, you can select, move, resize,
delete, and copy it just as you would with a text frame. Solid colours,
gradient/bitmap fills and transparency can all be applied.
To resize or re-proportion an artistic text object:
• Drag the object's corner handles to resize it while maintaining
the object's proportions.
• To resize freely, hold down the Shift key while dragging.
To edit artistic text:
• Drag to select a range of text, creating a blue selection.
You can also double-click to select a word.
