Picture Text Box Background Line Frame Key with picture and text An overlay with keys, text box, frame, line, picture, and background 94 Overlay Maker 3 User’s <strong>Guide</strong>
09: Working with Text Boxes, Frames, Lines, Pictures, and Backgrounds Working with Objects: General Information In addition to keys (the interactive, touch-sensitive areas of an overlay), Overlay Maker 3 enables you to include text boxes, frames, lines, pictures, and a background on a printed overlay. Although a printed overlay with only keys on it is completely functional, these noninteractive objects are typically added to an overlay for identification, informative, and/or decorative purposes. Including these objects on the printed overlay can make it easier for an IntelliKeys user to understand, and interact with, what he or she sees on-screen. For instance, you might include text in text boxes for instructions, titles, or captions. Brightly-colored lines and shapes could be added to attract a child’s attention to specific parts of an overlay. Groups of related keys might be framed in a colored box. Pictures of onscreen images could be included to create a visually interesting overlay. Working with Text Boxes (i.e., Free Text) Text Boxes: General Information Text is added to an overlay by drawing a text box using the Text Tool, and typing the desired characters (letters, symbols, numerals, etc.) in the text box. Each text box has appearance properties—you can select a border color, border width, a fill color, and/or a fill pattern. If you make the text box transparent, only the text within the text box will show. The text within a text box also has properties—you can select a font, size, style, and color. Why add text boxes to an overlay? In addition to any text that shows on overlay keys, it is often useful to add text to an overlay for informative and/or decorative purposes (e.g., instructions, titles, captions, etc.). Is the text in a text box the same as “free text?” Yes. User manuals for previous versions of Overlay Maker defined free text as, “text which is not contained within a key.” A text box was referred to as a “free text rectangle.” How does an Overlay Maker 3 text box compare to a text box used in IntelliTools Classroom Suite? Similarities: Both types of text boxes contain editable text that the activity author (e.g., the teacher) types in. In addition, both are created using the Text Tool, have Properties dialog boxes, have borders and a background that can be filled with color, can be selected and resized, can be selected and repositioned, and can contain multiple fonts and different text sizes and colors. Differences: Overlay Maker 3 text boxes are not interactive—the IntelliKeys user cannot press the text box on a printed overlay and hear its contents read aloud. IntelliTools Classroom Suite text boxes are created to be part of on-screen activities (though the IntelliTools Classroom Suite document could be printed). Use the Arrange feature to Tip position a text box behind or in front of keys and other objects. 09: Working with Text Boxes, Frames, Lines, Pictures, and Backgrounds 95
