Place placeholder text for the links

The first element to create is the text representing the navigation links.

1. Select the Text tool in the Vector section of the Tools panel, and move the pointer over the Document window.
   
   

   The pointer changes to an I-beam, and the Property inspector displays text properties.

   
   
   

2. In the Property inspector, set the following tool properties:
   • From the Font pop-up menu, select TrebuchetMS.

   NOTE

   If you don't have TrebuchetMS, select Verdana or a similar font instead.

   • Click the Bold button.
   • Enter 14 as the font size.
   • Select Smooth Anti-Alias as the anti-aliasing level.
   • Click the Color icon next to the font size menu and select the white swatch.
   • Click the Left Alignment button.
   • Enter 200 as the leading percentage next to the vertical, two-headed arrow icon.
3. With the I-beam pointer, click once near the upper-left corner of the sidebar rectangle.

   This step creates an empty text block.

4. Type Cuisine in the text block, and then press Enter to start a new line.

   The width of the text block expands as you type.

5. Type the following items, pressing Enter after each to start a new line:
   • Chef Ipsum
   • Articles
   • Special Events
   • Location
   • Menu
   • Contact Us

   When you complete this step, you have a text block representing the navigation links.

   
   
   

6. Click the Pointer tool in the Tools panel to deselect the text box.
7. Save your work.
