To resize a custom frame

  1. Click the Text tool  image\Text_Tool.gif. The Text menu appears.
  2. Click a text block handle, then choose Text > Custom Frame. The Custom Frame dialog box appears.
  3. Click Select. If a shape was already selected for the custom frame, the Shape Designer appears. If no shape was selected, click Create in the Shape Selection dialog box.
  4. Resize the shape in the Shape Designer. For details, see Shape Designer dialog box.
  5. Click OK or Select until you return to the Custom Frame dialog box, where you can see how the text flows into the selected shape. When the text flows into the frame the way you want it to, click OK to return to the document.

Note. As in previous versions, custom shapes may be used for more than one text block in the score. If the shape is used elsewhere, changing the shape for one text block will change all occurrences of the shape in the score.
