Creating text

Working with text in Adobe GoLive can be similar to working with text in most popular word-processing applications. You can type directly in the document window, copy text from another application and paste it into an Adobe GoLive document, import text from another application into a table, and make use of traditional formatting, spellchecking, and searching tools.

You can also add text to the page using layout text boxes on a layout grid and floating boxes. With layout text boxes, you can easily rearrange the location of text on the page by moving or aligning the boxes. With floating boxes, you can overlap text with other text or objects on the page, and create an animation of the text. For more information on using layout text boxes, see Using layout text boxes. For information on using floating boxes, see Setting up floating boxes.

To add text directly to the page, a layout text box, table cell, or floating box:

Do one of the following:

Click inside the document window, layout text box, table cell, or floating box to insert a cursor. Then type the desired text.

Select text in any application, and copy the text. Then paste it into the Adobe GoLive document window, layout text box, table cell, or floating box.
