102 Chapter 4 Formatting Text and Paragraphs
2 Select the destination point and choose Edit > Paste.
Note: If you copy and paste a single linked box, you will create a single unlinked text
box, identical to the one you copied.
To select only the text in all the linked text boxes:
m Select text in the first box, and then press Command-A.
Setting Paragraph Fill Colors
For some designs, it may be easier to highlight text by placing a paragraph fill color
behind the text. When you place a paragraph fill color behind text, the color extends
between the layout margins and moves with the text.
To place a paragraph fill color behind text:
1 Select the paragraph or paragraphs to which you want to add the fill color.
2 Click Inspector in the toolbar (or choose View > Show Inspector), click the Text
Inspector button, and then click More.
3 In the More pane of the Text Inspector, select the Paragraph Fill checkbox to place a
fill color behind the text.
4 Click the Fill color well and select a color in the Colors window (for information about
the Colors window, see “Using Color and Image Fills” on page 145).
Putting Text Inside a Shape
If you want to create callouts or sidebars that are not rectangular, you can place text
inside a shape. All shapes, except lines, can contain text.
To add text to a shape:
1 Place a shape where you want it on the page. (To learn about adding shapes, see
“Adding Shapes, Tables, and Charts” on page 125.)
2 Double-click the shape and type the text you want. If the text extends beyond the
border of the shape, a clipping indicator appears.
Select a fill color.
Select to place a fill
color behind text.
