Adding Text to a Graphic

Adding Text to a Graphic

You can add additional interest to a graphic by adding text to it. The Text button on the Pictures toolbar make it easy to add the text box. If your graphic is not a GIF, FrontPage asks you to covert the graphic. An empty text box appears on the graphic with an insertion point, ready for you to type your text. You can drag the handles to resize the text box as necessary or drag the text box edge to move the text box. You can select the text or text box, and then format the text using the Formatting toolbar.
