Delete the text frame opened by default .
5.
Click on the Create New Image Box button .

7. Select the box with the Object Selection button .

9.
Click on the Fill button .
10. Select blue from the color palette and click inside the selected red box to paint it.

The user may now import a graphic, such as a sun.

Once the graphic is imported into the frame, select it and apply the smoothing effect to
it.
13.
Resize it using the diagonal two-directional arrows so that the graphic keeps its
proportions.
