Adding a text block and typing the text within the text block

Add a text block to your page. After you add the text block, double-click within the text block to add text. Then use the options on the Text Properties ribbons (Properties and Position & Size, and Table) to configure the text block's appearance.

Follow these steps to add a text block to your page:

In the Title Explorer, select the location into which you want to add text.
Do one of the following:
- From the Insert ribbon, select Text Block from the Add Text group.
- From the Home ribbon, click the down-arrow under Add object in the Quick Insert group and select the Text Block graphic from the menu.
- Right-click in the Title Explorer or in the work area, select New and Text Block.
A text block appears in the upper-left corner of your page and the Text Properties ribbons are highlighted.
Drag the text block to the appropriate location on the page.
Double-click the text to access the cursor tool, and begin typing your text.

Access the text block’s properties to add a background color, a border, or specify other options.
