To add text to a shape that’s part of a group, double-click the text area of any shape in
the group. If you resize the group, everything resizes except for the text. You can still
edit and format the text.

See “Grouping and Locking Objects” on page 78 for details about grouping objects.

Formatting a Text Box or Shape

You can change the amount of space between text and the inside border of a text box,
shape, or table cell. See “Changing the Inset Margin of Text in Objects” on page 56 for
instructions.

Use the Graphic Inspector to format borders, shadows, opacity, color fill, and more for
text boxes or shapes. For more information about setting object properties, see
“Modifying Objects” on page 73.
