To create text within a fixed-size frame

  1. Click the Text tool . The Text menu appears.
  2. Double-click the document window, and drag to create a rectangle to accommodate your text. An editing frame of the size you create appears, with a flashing cursor to indicate the insertion point. The placement of the insertion point—left, center, or right—depends on the justification options selected in the Text menu.

    3. A double dashed line indicates that the frame is a fixed size; it will not expand as you type.

  3. Enter the text you want displayed. The placement of the text within the frame—left, center, or right—depends on the justification options selected in the Text menu. The words wrap when you reach the side of the frame.
  4. To resize the frame to accommodate additional text, drag the side of the frame to the desired size.
