Formatting text characters
The text that appears on the pages in this brochure has been typed in
the default setting. This can be changed at any time by selecting the
text, and adjusting the settings; however, for this assignment, we are
going to add a headline to the top of page 3.
To format text characters
1
Make sure that the T is selected in the top left-hand corner of
the Text Ruler to use Type mode. This is the mode where you can
select fonts and type sizes.
2
Select the Text tool in the Toolbox.
3
Click above the text at the top left-hand corner of page 3.
4
Type Sentimental Journeys.
5
You are now going to change the font, so press Esc. The text
object will still be selected, so you can change all the text in the text
object.
6
In the Text Ruler, choose an available font from the font pop-
up menu. The text changes to the selected font.
7
To increase the size of the type, choose a number in the font
size pop-up menu, or type a value in the text box. Because this is a
headline, a type size of 36 or 48 point should make the text fit
across the top of the page.
8
After you have changed the font and size, drag the headline to
position it evenly at the top of the page.
