Discard the production box once you’ve read its contents.
|
|
Choose the Selection tool, click the box, and press Backspace
or Delete.
|
|
|
If you are sending your work to a printer, however, you
may not want to delete the production box since it may include useful
instructions that affect printing. In this case, to hide the layer,
open the Layers palette by choosing Window > Show Layers
and click the leftmost box next to the Tips layer. Hidden layers
do not print.

Replace the placeholders with your own message.
|
|
All the text (mostly gibberish) and images in the template
serve as placeholders. The text at the top of the template is in
three sections—a heading, a subheading, and a decorative
dingbat. Choose the Text tool and select the heading. Type in your
heading to replace it. Then select the subhead and type in your own.
You can leave the dingbat, change it, or substitute it with a graphic,
as you wish.
|
|
|
Note: Don't feel constrained by the text formats
the template uses. If your message requires only one large heading
or several smaller ones, change the type specifications to fit it.

Continue to refine the logo.
|
|
Choose the Selection tool. In the second panel of the
template, select "LOGO" and press Backspace or Delete.
Choose File > Place, find your logo, and click OK. Position
your logo and resize it to fit the space provided. Choose the Text
tool, select the return address, and type your company name and address.
Then select the sending address and delete it.
|
|
|
Note: You may want to draw a box to indicate the position of the sending
address, but you don't want to type anything in it. You'll most likely
need to leave this area blank for mailing labels. For information on
generating multiple mailing labels, use the new Data Merge feature.
