Adding text into a placeholder text box requires that you select the placeholder and the text within the placeholder to replace the example text. Use these steps to add text into a placeholder text box in a file based on a template:

1. Click the text within the placeholder. In most cases, this action selects both the text box and all the placeholder text within it, as shown in Figure 31-7. Selection handles appear around the text box, and the placeholder text is highlighted.

   Click the text in a template text box to select both the text box and the example text.

   

2. Type the replacement text. Your new text appears in the text box.
3. Click outside the text box on a blank area of the publication. Doing so deselects the text box, finishing your entry.

Text boxes do not resize automatically in Publisher, so if the text you add is too long to fit within the text box, you need to resize the text, as described later in “Resizing, autoflow, and linked text boxes.”

Many of the templates have automated placeholders that automatically insert business information stored in the business information set in Publisher. If you have not yet specified information for the business information set, choose Edit?Business Information and then click the Change Business Information link at the bottom of the Business Information task pane. Enter the information, click Save, and then click Update Publication. You can drag any of the components listed in the Business Information task pane onto a publication to add that item to the publication. Each business information item (or placeholder) has a blue dashed underline in the publication. When you point to such an item, you can click the smart tag button that appears and then click a choice in the shortcut menu to decide how to work with the information.
