Text Box

I know how to place text on my maps but due to various colors the text is sometimes hard to see, is there a way to place a text box of what ever color and then text inside of side box?

    Usually, I prefer to use a Glow effect on the text to make it visible. Using light glows on dark text and dark glows on light text makes it pretty much visible on top of everything.

    But if you want to place a box behind your text, just use the standard Box (right toolbars) tool. Make sure to set the current fill style to solid, and the color to whatever color you need. You can either place this on the same sheet as the text, or perhaps make a separate sheet for it and arrange this sheet so it ends up behind the text.

    The glow is a Sheet effect that you place on the sheet with the text on it.

    Open the sheets dialogue by clicking the button with the three yellow sheets on it on the left side of the screen, and pick the sheet with text on it (usually called something like TEXT), and add a glow effect to it.
