Open a new message.
2.
From the Frame Toolbar ,click to open a graphic frame. Delete the
text frame opened by default.
3.
Select the Venus or True Type font button.
4.
Click on the frame. A green text box appears within the frame if the
chosen font is Venus 1500 (Figure 103) or a white text box opens if the
chosen font is True Type.

Enter the desired text. If the True Type font was selected, click to
close the text-object box. The text should now be visible in the frame.
Note: Text overlaid on a background image will not be copied if inside of a
―select‖ box. Think of the text as a second ―layer‖ that is not combined with
the background until it is sent to the display.

Click and drag the text to the desired location in the frame. The arrow
keys can also move the box pixel by pixel.
7.
Highlight the text and use the Text Color tool to change the
font color.
8.
Highlight the text and choose the desired font type and size from the
drop-down menus. Displayed fonts are those installed for use by the
operating system.
9.
Set justification (left, center, right, top, middle, or bottom) by placing
the cursor in front of the text of a line or highlight all the text to apply
the justification to all of the lines.
