The Tool Palette / Picture Box Tools

Subtitles of the Movie

The standard shape for a picture box tool is the same as for a text box tool. You have a rectangular picture box, a rounded corner picture box, a concave picture box, a beveled corner picture box, and an oval picture box. You also can create a free form or a Bezier picture box. One of the things to remember is that pictures are imported only into picture boxes. In order to create a picture box, let’s get rid of these pictures boxes here, select from the picture box tool and click and drag. Notice, when a picture box is displayed you have an X through the center of the picture box. When you have a text box displayed, you have nothing inside the picture box. But when you change to the content tool, you have a text insertion point. You can switch a text box to a picture box by selecting a box and navigating up to item and down to shape and changing it to a picture box. You can restrain the shape to a square or to a circle by holding down the shift key when you drag.
