Formatting tools

The formatting tools make it easy to change a selected

 

item’s alignment, style, font, size, color, background, and

 

transparency. (See “Selecting items and text” on page 36.)

 

 

Frame width

 

9

 

To adjust the width of a frame around a shape, use the

 

Frame Width slider, or type a new number in the box next

 

to the slider and press Enter. A higher number makes the

 

frame wider. A lower number makes the frame narrower.

 

 

 

Item status

 

 

 

 

The item status indicators (on the lower left in Windows,

 

or at the bottom of the workspace on the Macintosh) tell

 

you which item is currently selected, its degree of rotation

 

(if any), and its dimensions. Use the Zoom tool to enlarge

 

 

 

or minimize your view. You cannot

 

 

 

directly enter data into the item

 

 

 

status indicators; these simply

 

 

 

display the type of item you are

 

 

 

working with and its current status.
