| The two most important parts of working with text are typing the text and then selecting it to make changes. To type text: 1. | Click with the Type tool in a frame. | 2. | Begin typing. | 3. | Press Return to begin a new paragraph. or Press Shift-Return to begin a new line without starting a new paragraph. Tip InDesign automatically wraps text within the text frame. Tip If the text frame is too small to display all the text, an overflow symbol appears . You can reshape the frame (see page 90) or flow the text into a new frame (see page 75) to eliminate the overflow.
The overflow symbol indicates that there is more text than will fit in the frame. |
To add text into a passage you have already typed, you move the insertion point to where you want to place the new material. The point blinks to help you find it .
The blinking insertion point indicates where text will be added. To move the insertion point: 1. | Position the Type tool cursor where you want the insertion point. | 2. | Click to set the insertion point. |
To move the point using the keyboard: 1. | Use the arrow keys to move the insertion point left or right one character at a time or up and down one line at a time. | 2. | Use the Cmd/Ctrl key with the arrow keys to move the insertion point one word or one paragraph at a time. |
