Adding paragraph text

Paragraph text wraps automatically to fit in the bounding box. The size of the text object is determined by the bounding box. You can use paragraph text to add text in a specific, constrained area--for example, in a banner.

To enter paragraph text:

1. Select the type tool .
2. Drag in the composition to create a bounding box.
3. Enter text in the bounding box.

If the amount of text is too large to fit in the bounding box, a text overflow handle appears in the lower right corner of the box. You can drag one of the bounding box's handles to resize it so all the text is visible.

Once you have entered text, you can apply different format options. (See Formatting text.)
