WORKING WITH TEXT To begin discussing text, it is helpful to gain an understanding of how text frames work. • Any InDesign frame can be a text frame. Simply draw a closed frame with any tool, then click in that frame with the Type tool. A blinking cursor appears and you can begin typing. • When a text frame is selected, you will notice that the handles surrounding it are the same as the handles on any other frame. Text frames also have an in port and an out port, which are used to control the flow of text from frame to frame. • You can resize text frames by clicking, holding and dragging the handles of the frame. • To hide or show lines of text, click a bottom handle, hold and drag up or down. • When you resize a frame to hide lines of text, a red plus will appear in the out port. This indicates that there is more text to be placed. • To place the hidden text, click to select the text frame, then click on the red plus. Your cursor will become a loaded text cursor. Use the cursor to draw a text frame or click anywhere to place your text. • If you have placed text that was once part of another text frame, the text frames become linked. Linked text frames are indicated with arrow symbols in the in port and out port. • If you resize a linked text frame to make it larger, it will expose more text in the text frame. The text will be taken from the top of the next linked frame.
