Poster Designer Pro QuickStart Guide
Working with text
In this section, we'll edit and resize the
text placeholders, and apply formatting
and color. We'll be working with artistic
text and frame text.
To select, edit, and format text:
1
Click inside the text object
containing the words 'Your poster
title here,' then triple-click to select
all of the text.
The placeholder text is shaded in
blue for clear editing.
2
Type your own poster title.
3
(Optional) If required, resize your title by clicking and dragging a
resize handle (circled in red below).
As you resize the text object, the text is automatically 'stretched' or
'squashed' to fit inside the text frame. This is unique to artistic text.
Our next task is to apply formatting to the text, and change its color.
4
Triple-click, or click and drag, to select the poster title text.
At the top of the workspace, below the Standard toolbar, the Text
context toolbar displays.
Adding text
Frame text and artistic text
share many attributes, and you
can use the same methods to
perform operations such as
selecting, editing, formatting,
and so on. However, there are
a few differences. For example...
With frame text you can:
· Flow text between frames.
· Wrap text around pictures.
With artistic text you can:
· Stretch or squash the text by
dragging its container.
· Create some interesting
shaped text effects by putting
artistic text on a path.
For details, see the Working
With Text tutorial and online
Help.
