CHAPTER 7: Working in the Project Editor
Placing Elements on a Page
To place elements such as images, graphics, text, buttons, and video clips on the page, drag them from the Library pane
to the Canvas. You can then resize and arrange these elements to fit your page design.
For example, if you drag a Text widget from the Widgets pane to the Canvas, as shown in Figure 7-1 on page 168, you
can place the element it creates anywhere on the page, and then edit the Text element by double-clicking it. You can also
select the text in the Text element and change its font, size, and other properties. (For more details on editing and
changing text properties, see "Changing Text Properties" on page 208).

You can drag image and video assets directly from the Assets pane of the Library, as shown in Figure 7-2 on page 169. If
your assets are not yet ready to use, you can drag Image and Video widgets to use as placeholders, and when your
assets are ready to use, drag the assets from the Assets pane into the Source field on the widget element's Properties
pane, as shown in Figure 7-3 on page 169.
