Could someone please tell me how I can create a rectangular box that I can type in print such as
"What would you like to do?" and be able to change the size and colors? Thanks!

(might be obvious but...) you need to add buttons to your page in ProntoEdit.

Create the button you'd like to use in a graphics package like Photoshop (or at a push MS Paint) and save as a .gif or .bmp file

Go to 'insert button' and find your design

Position the button on the page and click save.

Upload the new page to your iPronto.

I've never tried to create a button from a program like that but I'll try it. One question though, will I be able to change the size by dragging the corners?
Thanks for your help!

Unfortunately not :(

There's a bit of guess work involved - two ways round it are :

i. Using Photoshop create and save the button - try importing the button and if it's too small/large, leave the import screen open, re-size in PS and click save. Then just click import again.

ii. Find a button on you existing layout about the right size (or that you can double to get the right size) and open the properties. Once you know the dimensions (in pixels) you can create a canvas in PS or Paint and scribble away to your hearts content.

depends how complicated you want to get. if all you want is a blue box with "What would you like to do?"
then the easiest thing to do is

1) add a panel
2) dblclk to get the properties box
3) click on the label tab
4) paste or type What "would you like to do?"
5) click on the color tab
6) click on the fill button and then the colour you want (i.e. blue)
7) click on the letter button and then the colour you want (i.e. white)

8) click on size and try different sizes until you get the look you want (when you click on a different box it will apply the changes so you can see the final setup)

even if you want a fancier box, (what TIIEWL describes) then you can skip 6 and possibly 7 and use step 8 to determine the size of the icon.

Thanks Anthony, that works great!
