There are also buttons for paragraph alignment. You will notice on the type palette there are sliding bars labeled Baseline, Kerning, Line Space, and Paragraph Space. In the example below the angle is set to 15 degrees. You can change the angle of rotation by degrees. Another method for rotating text is to have the text box selected, then go to the Geometry section of the inspector. Click and drag in the direction you wish the text to rotate. The text box can be rotated by hovering the mouse over one of the text box corner boundaries. The example below shows Impact font with no fill, a dark blue stroke of 15, and a slightly offset black drop shadow. To put a background fill or stroke behind the text, click on the options under ‘Fill and Stroke’

Fill is the color within the stroke or outline. Increasing the stroke makes the outline of the text thicker. Alternatively, you can select your text and bring up the color palette by going to Window ▸ Colors, or typing the keyboard shortcut ⇧⌘C. The outer circle is the stroke color and the inner circle is the text fill. To change the color of the text fill or stroke you can click on a color well in the tools palette to access the colors palette. To deselect your text box you can hit the escape key, use keyboard shortcut ⌘D, or click once with your mouse outside the box. To end text editing press the command and enter keys. When you click to start typing the bounding box will be small, but it will adjust to your type. You can create an area to type by clicking inside your image, or clicking and dragging a bounding box onto your image. When you select the text tool (keyboard shortcut 'T'), you will see your cursor change to the type cursor.
