+ <title>To create new objects</title>
+
+ <p>Objects are created by choosing the appropriate selection under
+ the <guiseq><gui>Objects</gui><gui>Create Object</gui></guiseq> submenu
+ or the <gui>Drawing Toolbar</gui>. This will place the display area into
+ object creation mode as indicated by its cursor. To return to the default
+ object selection mode without creating an object, choose
+ <guiseq><gui>Objects</gui><gui>Select Mode</gui></guiseq>. This will
+ return the display area's cursor to the default selection arrow.</p>
+
+ <p>The following describes the object creation mode for each object
+ type:</p>
+
+ <section>
+ <title>Text</title>
+ <p>Click the desired location of the upper left corner of the
+ text object. New text objects are initialized with the
+ string "Text." To change this text, or other properties, see

+ </section>
+
+ <section>
+ <title>Box</title>
+ <p>Click the desired location of the upper left corner of the
+ box object and drag to the desired location of the lower right
+ corner. If you simply click in a single location, a square

+ </section>
+
+ <section>
+ <title>Line</title>
+ <p>Click the desired location of one end of the

+ <title>Image</title>
+ <p>Click the desired location of the upper left corner of the

+ right corner. If you simply click in a single location, a square
+ will be created. New image objects are initialized with a
+ simple checkerboard image. To change this image, or other
