Understanding the basic question properties

Text Captions and Smart Shapes are used to display the question and the list of possible answers. Your next task is to customize these objects by performing the following steps.

  1. Triple-click the placeholder that reads Type the question here to select it in text edit mode and to select its content.
  2. Type What type of ticket would you choose if you use the train every day to go to work or school? and hit the Esc key.
  3. Click the thin blue line that wraps the answers. This selects the Answer Area on the slide.
  4. Use the Shift + down arrow shortcut several times to move the Answer Area down 10 pixels at a time.
Remember that when using the arrow keys, you move the selected objects one pixel at a time. But when combining the arrow keys with the Shift key, you move the objects 10 pixels at a time. This is one of the shortcuts we use the most in Adobe applications, because, yes.... it also works in other applications such as Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign...
