Runaround
1. Choose the picture box and select Runaround from the Item menu (or press Command-T or Control-T). The Modify dialog menu appears with the Runaround tab selected.
2. Currently, the runaround is set to item (this is the default value), which means that the underlying text goes around the edges of the picture box itself. Select Auto Image from the Type pop_up menu. This tells Quark to automatically find the outside edge of the picture and use it for the runaround.



3. Click the Apply button (not the OK button) to see a preview. Notice that the text is too close to your image.
4. Change the Outset amount to 14 points. Then click the Apply button again. The text moves away with a 14-point gap between it and the graphic. Click the OK button to set the runaround.

Adding Color

2. Choose your Model meaning RGB, CMYK or Pantone color. Then select your color for example pantone 166-click OK and then click on save.

3. Then you can see your new color in your color palette.

Adding a Frame
1. Go the Modify dialog box, select the Frame tab.


2. Change the amount in the Width field to 8 points and click the Apply button. Notice a solid black frame that appears around the text box.
3. Click on the Style pop_up menu and choose the style called Thin-Thick, then click the Apply button again. The frame changes from a solid black frame to a double-line frame.
4. In the area of the dialog box labeled Gap, change the color to Yellow and set the shade to 50 percent. This helps the frame appear to be part of the text box. Click OK to apply all the changes.
