Xara Webster - Annotating Clipart Scrolls

1. Import the scroll from the clipart gallery.

   

2. Select the Text Tool.
3. Click on the scroll where you want the text to start.
4. Type in the text.

   

If you want the text aligned with the center of the scroll, you can:

1. Select both the text and the scroll.
2. Open the Alignment dialog box using Alignment on the Arrange menu.
3. Choose Align Centrally for Horizontal Position.
4. Click Apply then click Close.

   

5. Because of the design of the scrolls, you need to adjust the vertical alignment manually.

• We suggest you now group the text and scroll so you can move them as one object. Select both the text and the scroll and then choose Group from the Arrange menu.
• If you want to move the letters up and down so they follow the shape of the scroll more accurately you can do this by selecting a single letter by CTRL-clicking on it and altering the Baseline Shift setting using the Text Tool.
