Creating Transparent Areas in a Graphic

If you insert a graphics file on a page, you can create transparent areas within the
graphic. This is useful for removing an image's background, but you can make any
color in a graphic transparent.
1. Select the graphic.
2. Select Format > Set Picture Transparency.
NOTE
You can also select this option by clicking the object's menu arrow, and then
selecting Set Picture Transparency.
The Picture Transparency dialog box appears.
3. Click an area in the graphic to make that area transparent.
NOTE
Clicking an area makes only that area transparent, even if the graphic
includes the same color in other areas.
4. Click OK.

Editing Text

You can edit or change the formatting of text objects.
TIP
You don't need to rotate vertical and angled text objects before you edit them.
When you double-click a text object, it rotates to a horizontal position. When you
finish editing the text and click outside of the text object, the text reverts to its
original angle.
1. Double-click the text object you want to edit.
The Fonts toolbar appears.
2. If you want to change the text, type the new text.
TIP
You can drag over text to select it, just as you would in a word
processing program.
3. If you want to change the formatting, including font style, size and color, use the
options in the Fonts toolbar.
