-
- Create a FullPage frame on the first page, set its placement to Overlay (if it
- is not already), Contents to shared and Repeating to Begin. Then, open the frame,
- and type your text (ART). A microdocument is created automatically.
-
- Close the frame, and you will see that the text (ART) repeats automatically on
- all following pages at the same position.
-
- You may change the color and font properties of your text via the component
- property sheet of the micro:caption component you created while typing.

-
- I am afraid you can only convert Text Strings to outline, no Microdocuments.
- You will not be able to have both justified lines and outlined text.
