To enter text in a text block, you need to select an insertion point. You do that with the
I-beam pointer.
-
Click the l-beam pointer in the
Tools palette to select it.
-
Click In the text block. An
insertion point appears in the top-left corner of text block. It looks like a blinking
vertical bar. The insertion point is where text you type, paste, or import is inserted in
a text block. Notice that Times 12.00/12.00 Plain appears in the status bar. That tells
you that text you type at the insertion point will appear in 12-point Times, on 12-point
leading, in plain text (not bold or italic).
-
Choose Views from the Document
menu and then choose Actual Size from the submenu that appears. The current page is
displayed at actual size in the document window, and the page automatically scrolls so the
insertion point appears in the center of the window.
-
Type "This Summer:" and
press Return. The characters you type appear in the text block.
-
Type "Our first exhibition of
kachinas and baskets from the Eleanora Corelli collection of Hopi crafts". Kachinas
are Hopi Indian deities. The Hopi carve dolls representing kachinas for their children.
You'll work with a photograph of a kachina later in this tutorial. But first you'll learn
one way to specify type.
