HOW TO USE ADOBE PAGEMAKER 7.0: Drawing Shapes and Frames

Shapes are simply graphical objects, while frames can either contain text or an imported graphic. Use frames to fit text or imported graphics into rectangle, elliptical, or polygonal shapes.

- Click a shape or frame button on the Tools Palette.

- Your pointer will turn into a crosshair (it looks like a small plus sign). Click the spot on the page where you want the shape or frame to go and hold down your mouse button.

- While holding down your mouse button, drag the crosshair. When the frame or shape is the desired size, release your mouse button.
- To draw a perfect square, click the rectangle shape button or the rectangle frame button. Hold down the SHIFT key on your keyboard while dragging the crosshair.
- To draw a perfect circle, click the oval shape button or the oval frame button. Hold down the SHIFT key on your keyboard while dragging the crosshair.
