Tutorial
Add a Picture Block

You've set the introductory text. Now you're ready to add a photograph to the front page. Just as you need to create a text block to house text, you need to create a picture block to house photographs and other pictures on your pages.

  1. Hold down the Command key and type 1. Command-1 is the Command-key equivalent to the Size To Fit command. By holding down the Command key while you type 1, you switch to Size To Fit view just as if you'd chosen Size To Fit from the Views submenu. Many of Sahafi's commands have Command-key equivalents that appear to the right of their names in the menus.

  2. Select the picture block tool by clicking its icon in the Tools palette. The picture block tool becomes highlighted in the tool bar to show that it's selected.

  3. Draw a picture block by dragging the crosshair pointer from within the third grid rectangle in the second row of the grid to the bottom-right grid rectangle on the page. A picture block snaps to the grid. It is indicated by a rectangle with a large X in it to show that it's empty. Handles at each corner and on each side indicate that it's selected. Note that the introductory text is partially covered by the picture block.
