Creating a Medical Illustration or Presentation

Adding Text

Adding Text
Don't worry about entering text exactly where you want it. Just click on the Text button and type text anywhere on the page then drag it into position.

To modify a piece of existing text, double-click on it to enter the editing mode. All of the normal Windows® text conventions apply: you can cut, copy, and paste as usual.


Change the font, size, style and color of selected text using the commands in the Font group under the Home tab.

If you want to change the style and layout of the entire text object, you don't even need to enter editing mode. Simply click on the text object to select it and use the controls in the Font and Paragraph groups to edit.

Like any object in your project, text can also be rotated using a rotation handle.



Inserting a Photo into Your Medical Presentation
You can insert a picture or photo (such as a JPG, GIF, PNG or other bitmap image) into your document by choosing Open Picture on the Picture Tab and browsing to locate the picture on your computer.

Add photo

Unless you have already selected a place for the picture to go (such as a selected shape or a table cell) it will be placed near the upper left corner of your SmartDraw drawing by default. You can then drag it to any position you like.



Replace a Placeholder

Replacing a Placeholder Photo
You can also insert a picture into an existing Picture Placeholder on the SmartTemplates.

The placeholders are temporary images meant to be replaced by your real images. Double-click on the placeholder to open the built-in photo software controls. Click on the bottm right folder icon to open the Import dialog, and then browse to the picture the same way you would using the Open Picture button.

You can delete a picture, or a picture placeholder, from the page like any other object, by clicking on it to select it and hitting the delete key.
