Thread: Adding Text blurbs

Text blurbs or shout boxes are an excellent way to highlight key quotes or important lines of your story. To add text blurbs, go to the "Insert"' tab. Click the '"Shapes'" option under the '"Illustrations'" group. Select a rectangle shape and draw it at the required location. Right-click the shape and click '"Add Text'" from the context menu. Type the text. Increase the font size by a point or two. Make the text bold. Change the font color. Next click the'"Format'" tab. In the '"Shape Outline'" option under '"Text Box Styles'" click '"No Outline'". Next, click '"Square'" in the '"Text Wrapping'" drop-down list under the '"Arrange'" group.
