Using Placeholder Text

Templates contain placeholder text, which shows you what text will look like and

where it will be placed in the nished document. Most placeholder text appears

in Latin (for example, lorem ipsum) in the document body, text boxes, headers, and

elsewhere. Other predened text, such as the title of a newsletter, appears in the

language you’re using.
