There are three types of boxes: Text boxes, picture boxes, and no-content boxes (boxes with a content of None). All three box types can contain color, shades, blends, and frames. When you draw a text box, picture box, or no-content box, the available controls correspond to the box type you create. But you can import text into picture boxes that contain pictures, and you can import pictures into text boxes that contain text. In addition to changing content type, you can change the shape and other attributes of a box.
