Drawing Toolbar

• The drawing toolbar will enable you to create a
  text box, word art, insert clips or pictures etc.
• Since you are selecting a design that already has
  a basic layout youll need to delete the text
  that is given to as an example and simply fill in
  your own information
• Once you understand what youre doing, you can
  create your own font/style and so on, but if you
  use the Wizard all you are doing is deleting the
  sample text and replacing it with your own words
  and photos.
