Adding more cover lines in Illustrator

Our next step in creating our magazine in Illustrator is to add the cover lines.…So I am going to start out--and I must mention that since you last saw this document I've…added the barcode down there. I placed that, File > Place, it's an AI, an Adobe Illustrator…file, and I have put that on its own separate layer.…So now what I am going to do is I am going to switch to my text file, and I am going…to copy that, switch back to Illustrator, Create a new layer, which I will call cover…lines, and then click to make an insertion point. I am using Point Type here and not Area Type.…

Illustrator makes the distinction between the two. Point Type means that my line is…going to be as long as I type it, so it could conceivably go on and on, way beyond the edge…of the page, beyond the edge of the pasteboard.…I am going to force the line breaks with Shift+Returns, and I'm working with very short lines anyway.…So if I were working with paragraph text, Area Type would be more appropriate.…But in this scenario, Point Type gives me a bit more flexibility.…
