Chapter 3 Formatting Text and Paragraphs 65

Creating Callouts, Sidebars, and Highlighted Text

Callouts and sidebars are used to make text stand out from the main body of text in a

document. Pages offers at least three simple ways to create highlighted text:

Â Adding text to text boxes

Â Adding a background (or fill color) to paragraphs

Â Typing text in shapes

You can also use table cells to hold callouts. To read about working with tables, see

Chapter 8, “Creating Tables.”

Adding Text Boxes

You can add text boxes to create rectangular blocks of text anywhere on your page.

You can format text inside a text box as you would any other text—changing colors,

adding shadows, applying styles, and so on.

Text boxes are created as “fixed” text boxes, which means they are anchored to a

position on the page. Body text on the page will flow around them.

To add a fixed text box:

1 Click anywhere outside the text areas of your document so that the insertion point is

not visible.

2 Choose Insert > Text (or click Objects in the toolbar, and then select Text). A text box

appears on the page.

3 Press Command-Return to select the text box, and then drag it to position it where

you want on the page.

4 Click inside the text box to place the insertion point and type to enter text. The text

box does not grow automatically if you enter too much text.

5 Drag the selection handles to resize the text box and reveal any hidden text. (Or you

can create linked text boxes so that the overflow text flows continuously into another

text box. To read about linked text boxes, see “Linked Text Boxes” next.)

Note: To lock the text box to the page so it doesn’t accidentally get moved as you

work, choose Arrange > Lock.

To learn about changing the spacing between the text and the inside of the text box,

see “Formatting a Text Box or Shape” on page 69. To learn about changing the look of

a text box, see “Formatting a Text Box or Shape” on page 69.
