: Easy way to create stacked boxes with equal margins I'm a bit of a n00b to Illustrator (at least I think so anyway)! I have a bunch of text that is columnar and need to create boxes that

I'm a bit of a n00b to Illustrator (at least I think so anyway)! I have a bunch of text that is columnar and need to create boxes that stack (one above another) and serve as a container for this text.
So basically boxes in the background that are basically a box around the text. All of the margins and boxes need to be equal height & width.

Instead of creating a shape, copying it and manually fixing the margins so they're all equal, is there any easier way to accomplish this? I tried using the Grid tool but no dice.

Thanks for the help in advance!

: Can't get rid of default filter on Photoshop CS5 shapes Everytime I create a new shape in Photoshop CS5, whether on a new layer, document, whatever, it's always starting out with a drop shadow.

: Darker shade of a given color What does it mean and how do I get a darker shade of a given color. For example if I have the color R = 53, G = 140, B = 205 or H = 204, S = 74, B

Draw a rectangle the size of the entire area you wish to fill (all the boxes if they were combined).

Then choose Object > Path > Split Into Grid

Adjust the options and click OK.

You could then, if you want, choose Text > Threaded Text > Create to make all the boxes text containers.
