Chapter 9 Working with Text Boxes<br />

Working with Text Boxes9<br />

A text box is a container for text as well as other kinds of objects, including<br />

pictures, sound objects, and tables. When you use a text box as a container, you do<br />

not have pixel-level control over embedded objects. For example, you do not insert<br />

a picture in a text box and drag it into position. Instead, you embed the object at a<br />

selected point in the text and adjust its placement using alignment, positioning, and<br />

text-wrapping choices. When <strong>NetObjects</strong> <strong>Fusion</strong> publishes pages that use a text box<br />

as the main Layout container, they have extremely lean HTML code and load<br />

relatively quickly in the site visitor’s browser.<br />

This chapter describes:<br />

• Adding a text box<br />

• Selecting a text box<br />

• Embedding objects in a text box<br />

• Wrapping text around objects<br />

• Sizing a text box<br />

• Setting text box background<br />

• Scaling text box contents to the browser window<br />

• Preserving your design intentions<br />
