Working with Text Boxes

Text boxes are floating blocks of text that you can reposition, resize, add, or remove from most Top Producer 8i Templates (text frames cannot be added to Email templates).

Note: This topic does not apply to email templates.

To add and position a text box:

1. Open the Edit Personal Copy screen. How?

   1. From the Main Menu bar, click the Marketing icon.

   2. Click the [Template Type] Library link in the appropriate portlet.

   3. Select a personal category from the Show Category drop-down list.

   4. For presentations, flyers or postcards, hover your mouse over the template, and then click the Edit [Pages/Flyer/Postcards] link.

   Or

   For Letters/Envelopes/Labels, click the name of the template.

2. For presentation templates, click Edit Page. Otherwise, proceed to step 3.

3. Click the Insert Text Box icon.

   A text box is inserted at the bottom of the current page.

4. Click inside the text box at any time to select it. The text box is selected when the inner frame, outer frame, and sizing handles (small squares on each side and corner) are visible.

   • To reposition the text box, position your mouse pointer between the inner and outer frames until you see this icon. Then, click and drag the frame to its new location.

   • To resize the text frame, hover the mouse pointer over any of the 6 (square) sizing handles until your mouse cursor changes. Then click and drag the frame to its new dimension.

   • The outer border defines the area around which text will be wrapped around the text box. To resize the outer text box frame, hover the mouse pointer over the outer border on any of the four sides. Then click and drag the text box border to its new dimension.
