Step 3: Adding, Formatting and Deleting Text in Your Template Design

You can add additional text to any template. See "Adding Text" for options.
You can change font, size and color of text areas in DiscLabel templates. See "Formatting Text".
To delete the text areas in a template, select the area and click Delete.

To import images (from iPhoto, the Finder, or other sources), see "Importing Images" for instructions.
To add clip art, see "Using Clip Art" for instructions.
