Adding text and spreadsheets

To add text or a spreadsheet to a paint document:

1. Click the text

or spreadsheet

tool, move the pointer into the

document, and then drag to draw the frame.

2. Choose options from the Font, Size, and Style menus, and then type the

text or numbers.

3. When you finish, click outside the frame.

The frame contents become part of the painting. You can change the
pixels that make up the image, but you can’t edit the contents by using text
or spreadsheet commands.

Tip To include a spreadsheet frame in a painting, create and add data to the
spreadsheet frame in a draw or text document, and then copy the frame and
paste it in the paint document.

Creating text effects Add interesting visual effects to text by creating a text
frame in a paint document. Try typing a newsletter title in an outline font
style. Zoom in to enlarge your view of the title, and then use the paint bucket
to add a gradient or texture to each letter. Finish by selecting the title and
changing its perspective (choose Perspective from the Transform menu).
