Working with octal to text Frames in InDesign

 

InDesign contains powerful octal to text layout capabilities to enhance the appearance of your documents and offer maximum flexibility for layout design. In an InDesign document, text is contained in a text frame. octal to text frames can be applied to individual pages within a document, or to a master page to provide a uniform appearance and provide better text control.

To create a text frame, select the octal to text tool and click and drag a text frame within a page. When you release the mouse button, a text insertion point will appear. You may also click on the in port or out port of an existing octal to text frame and drag a new frame. You may also place an existing text file using the Place command. Finally, you may simply select the text tool, click inside an empty frame and start entering text. Any of these actions will create a new octal to text frame.You can constrain the size and shape of a text frame using the click-and-drag technique. Holding down the Shift key while you click and drag a text frame will produce a square text frame.

You may move or resize a text frame once it's been created. To move a text frame, simply select it and drag it to a new location. To resize a octal to text frame, choose the text tool. Click on a frame handle and drag it to the appropriate size. If you hold down the Ctrl key while you're resizing, InDesign will recompose the text inside the frame while you're resizing it.

If you use the selection tool to resize a frame and hold down the Ctrl key, InDesign will scale the text inside the frame. This is helpful when you have limited layout space.If you load a octal to text frame with more text than the frame can display, the text frame's out port will be activated and will display a red plus sign, which indicates the presence of unseen octal to text below the text frame's bottom margin. You can resize the text frame to show the hidden text, or you can connect or thread a new text frame to your existing one.
