Have you learned how to use models and/or libraries yet?  That is somthing I 
need to spend more time on because it is both a time saver and a disk space
saver.

One thing you can do is to create your text elements in your favorite word
processor, spell check them, and the use the copy and paste commands to bring
them into Authorware.  This works well for concepting an application before
development and gets things mapped out as to where they will be used.

Once they are into AW then you can set fonts, styles, color and etc...
