Text Box Tool
    The text box tool is used to create a new text box. A text box is 
a rectangular region in which text is placed. To create a text box, 
click on the Text Box Tool, then move the pointer diagonnally to the 
location where you want one corner of the text box to be. The pointer 
should appear as a set of crosshairs. Click and hold the mouse button, 
then drag to the location where you want the opposite corner 
to be, then release. Lines mark the boundary of the newly created text box, 
and handles on those lines indicate that the text box is active. 
Note that MacPublisher changes the pointer to an I-beam and 
places it in the upper left corner of the newly created text box. 
This is done so that you can start typing  text immediately.
