Insert and Format Text Boxes - continued
You can insert a predesigned text box in a document to create a pull quote, which is a quote that is “pulled”
from an article and is enlarged and displayed in a strategic or attractive location on the page.
Use pull quotes in an article to attract readers’ attention.
Some advantages of using pull quotes are that they reinforce important concepts, summarize the message,
and break up blocks of text to make the article easier to read.
