Text widgets in alternate layouts

You can insert text widgets only in the master layout. If the master layout contains a text widget, you cannot cut or change the properties of the widget in an alternate layout. However, you can simulate a text object in different layouts by using a fill-in object with no label and activating the VIEW-AS-TEXT toggle box in the fill-in’s property sheet. The content of the field will appear to be a static text object.
