Text Box in a Text Box

You want to put the return address on the back of the brochure for mailing. The address will run from top to bottom on the page. You need to put it in a text box so you can change the text direction. So first you create the small text box that you need.

1. From the Drawing toolbar click on the Text box button. The pointer changes to the Precise Selection shape.
    
2. In Text Box 2, drag to create a new text box.
    
3. Drag your new text box around the page. At first this new text box looks like it is contained inside the old one. Actually it is just on top of it. Leave the box in the upper right of Text Box 2.

Format Text

1. Switch your Zoom to 100% so you can see the text you are about to type.
   
2. Type in the new text box the following lines:

    World Travel Inc. 

    Montevideo 6553 

    Buenos Aires 1123 Argentina 

    Phone 54(1) 821-6543
    You can resize the text box if necessary.
    

3. Drag to select the first line of the address, World Travel Inc. (You won't be able to get to the selection area at the left of the text like you usually can.)
    

4. Format it as : 
       Font = Arial Black 
       Size = 7.5 
   (For numbers that aren't in the Size drop list on the Formatting bar, type the number into the Size box and press ENTER.)
    

5. Right click and choose  Paragraph... 
   If you don't get that choice, did you click over a green or red squiggle underline? Check for spelling and grammar errors and fix them. If the squiggle still remains, right click on it and choose  Ignore Sentence . 
    
6. In the Paragraph dialog, set the Space After to 3 pt and click on OK.
    
7. Select the remaining address lines.
    
8. Format as:
      Font =   Arial
      Size = 7

 Format the Text Box

1. Select the text box and select from the menu  Format  |  Text Direction... 
    
2. Click on the icon for text that runs from top to bottom. Click on OK.
    
3. Click on the Center button to center all the text in the text box.
    
4. Resize the address's text box by dragging one of its handles  until the whole address and phone number fits on 4 lines.
    
5. Drag the box to the top right corner of the address's text box.
    
6. With the text box selected, choose  Format Text Box  from the popup menu. 
    
7. In the Colors and Lines tab in the Line section, open the Color palette and choose No Line.
    
8. Click on OK to apply your choice.
