Updated this week

Objective

Learn how to create and edit Textbox Elements in your document templates to ensure clarity, consistency, and a professional layout.


1. Adding a Textbox Element

  • Drag and drop the Textbox Element from the Elements list into your preferred location in the document.

  • Alternatively, click the Textbox Element to automatically add it to the bottom of the template.


2. Editing Textbox Content

  • Double-click the textbox or select Edit to enter editing mode.

  • Type or paste your content directly into the textbox.


3. Adjusting Textbox Properties

  • Modify padding to control spacing around the textbox.

  • Enable Avoid Page Breaks to prevent long text from splitting across pages.


4. Formatting Text

Use the toolbar to customize text appearance:

  • Bold, Italic, <u>Underline</u>, or Strikethrough

  • Change font family and font weight (regular, bold, light)

  • Adjust text color or background highlight


5. Paragraph Formatting

  • Apply styles: Normal, Heading 1, Heading 2, or Heading 3

  • Use paragraph styles such as gray, bordered, spaced, or uppercase

  • Align text: Left, Center, Right, or Justified


6. Creating Lists

  • Insert ordered lists (1, 2, 3) or unordered lists (bullet points)

  • Customize list style (e.g., squares or circles)


7. Inserting and Editing Tables

  • Insert a table by selecting the number of rows and columns

  • Customize table settings:

    • Add headers

    • Change cell background color

    • Insert, merge, or split cells

    • Adjust cell alignment (vertical and horizontal)


8. Adding Links and Images

  • Highlight text and click Insert Link to add a hyperlink

  • Add images by dragging them into the textbox or linking to an online image URL


9. Additional Features

  • Insert horizontal lines to separate content

  • Use Undo and Redo to manage recent edits


10. Accessing Code View

For advanced customization, switch to Code View to edit the underlying HTML of the textbox.


⚠️ Important Notes

  • Maintain consistent text formatting across all textboxes to ensure a professional, uniform appearance.

  • Use Clear Formatting carefully—this removes all custom text and paragraph styles.
