Text in Adobe PageMaker
A text box is a "container" for your text. This is a limited area on your document that is designed to hold text. The text that you type in your document is automatically enclosed in a text box. You can set the size by creating a text box before you start typing in PageMaker. You can resize and even change the size of your text boxes using the pointer tool.
