<h3>How do I add Text Effects to a Text Box?</h3>
<p>Follow these steps:  </p>
<ol>
  <li>Create your Text Box and add your content.</li>
	<li>Once the text is entered, <i>Click</i> on the Effects <img 
	src="016_4.jpg" alt=""/>	toolbar button.<br/>
	<b>NOTE:</b>&nbsp; The Effects button should be
	located along the Left hand side of the screen in the Main Toolbar.&nbsp; 
	If you do not see it you may need to click the right arrow at the 
	bottom of the Main Toolbar to see the next set of buttons.</li>
	<li>You should see the following screen pop up.<br/>
	<img src="016_1.jpg" alt="Effects Screen"/></li>
	<li>Now click on the Text Effects button <img src="016_2.jpg" 
	alt="Text Effects Button"/>.</li>
	<li>Select the effect you would like to use.</li>
	<li>When finished click the Check Mark Button <img src="016_3.jpg" 
	alt="Check Mark button"/> to assign the effect
	to your Text Object.</li>
</ol>
<p>The next time you run your Slide Show you should see the Text displayed
using the effect selected.</p>
<p><b>NOTE:</b>&nbsp; The following is an alternate way of 
getting to the Effects screen.</p>
<ul>
<li>If the Text Object is selected, click 
a different object in your presentation.</li>
<li>Hold CTRL and <I>Right Click</i> on the Text Object you would like to add
	text effects to.  <b>NOTE:</b>&nbsp; You should now see the text object
	selected with little boxes around it instead of a shaded grey line.</li>
	<li>Release CTRL and <i>Right Click</i> on the text object.</li>
	<li>Click on Effects from this menu</li>
</ul>
