Placing a shape in your workspace and then putting the image inside the shape allows you to frame the image.

Working with Text

It’s easy to create your own captions, alphabets and numbers, and page titles in any font you have available on your computer. If you have a favorite handwriting font, you might even enjoy using the text tool to compose your journaling entries. The text tools make it easy to change text

•To add text, click the Add Text button. Use the Enter key to create a new line within a text box.

•To format text, double-click to select the text, and then change alignment, style, font, size, color, and back- ground color or transparency.
