2. Type or paste the text you want into the Text or Callout Box.
When you create a Text or Callout Box, Nisus Writer Pro creates a new style for your document
called Shape Text based on the paragraph and character attributes of the Normal style of your
document. If you have already created a Shape Text style as part of your Nisus New File, Nisus
Writer Pro uses the attributes of that style. You can modify both the ruler and character
attributes as illustrated in Figure 190 on page 166 and Figure 195 on page 169.
