"Hey everybody! My name is Matt. I'm speaking to you on behalf of Expert Village. You can come in and make finer adjustments to the thought bubbles and the speech bubbles that we learned about last lesson. If you click the gray dot in the center of a bubble, you can just drag the entire thing around. If you click on just the bubble, you can move just that around. That's going to keep the end part of it in the same place, so you can place that wherever you want and you can also resize just like we did with the panels. If you click on the orange dot here, you can move the end piece around as well. You can really come in and fine tune exactly how your bubbles look. Also, if you double click, you can come back in and change the text on your bubbles. You can make the text bigger or smaller by clicking on the buttons here. If you want to change the color, you can come over to the colors button. That's going to bring up your color wheel. You can make those colors whatever you want. Also you can change the font. In most cases, you're going to want to go with the comic book font. If you want, you can come in and click the fonts button at the top right here. You can change that to whatever font you want. You can also change the size in here as well. "
