Adding and selecting text There are two types of text you can add to drawings -- artistic text and paragraph text. Artistic text can be used to add short lines of text to which you can apply a wide range of effects, such as drop shadows. Paragraph text can be used for larger bodies of text that have greater formatting requirements. You can add both paragraph and artistic text directly in the drawing window. When adding paragraph text, you must first create a text frame. By default, paragraph text frames remain the same size regardless of how much text they contain. Any text that continues past the bottom-right border of the text frame is hidden until you either enlarge the text frame or link it to another text frame. You can insert a paragraph text frame inside a graphic object. This lets you use objects as containers for text so that you can use different shapes for text frames. You can also separate text from an object. When you do, the text retains its shape, and you can move or modify the text and the object independently.
