The most common characteristics you will need to modify (such as font, size, alignment, etc.) are in the Text Tool Option Palette (right below the menus - see above for a picture) or are found under the Type menu or the Character Panel. Modifying your text is done in a similar fashion as in Word. Note that if you place text from Word, the Word styles will carry over and can be edited as described in the Formatting Text section below.You can also designate the size of your text block by clicking and dragging a square as you place the text.Click again somewhere else to place the rest of the text. As you click on your document, if there is more text, the icon will remain. If you hold down the Alt key instead, you will still get the autoflow icon (), but it will not automatically create new pages.Now pages will be automatically created as needed. If you want the text to automatically flow to the next column or page, hold down the S hift key on the keyboard as you place your text and a slightly different icon will appear ().Remember, you can always move and resize it. Click in your document where you'd like the text to be placed – the text box will fill the spaces between the margins. Your cursor turns into the Place icon (). Navigate to your document and click Open.You can place your text into preset text frames, or you can create a new frame as you place the text. Even so, you can import text and graphics by going to the File menu and using the Place command. Unlike most programs, InDesign doesn’t have an Insert menu. Make sure you're on the black Pointer tool and then click and hold on one of the corner handles and drag the box until it is big enough to fit your text.

If you see a red plus sign in the lower right of your text box (see below), it means that there is too much text (or the font is too big) to fit inside the text box. For other ways to change your text, see the Formatting Text section below. To change font, color, etc., highlight the text and make the desired changes in the Options Palette at the top of the screen (under the menus).Click on the “handles” on the border of the text block and drag until you have the correct new size. To resize a text frame, select it by clicking once with the Pointer.Once it is selected, click and hold, then move it to the new position and release the mouse button. To move a text frame, select it by clicking on it once with the Selection (Pointer) Tool (the black arrow located in the Toolbox).Tip: If you can’t read your text as you start typing, go to the View menu and Zoom In, or change the font size, whichever is appropriate. Click on your document where you want your text, drag a box with your mouse, and begin typing in the box. To create a new text frame, select the Type Tool from the Toolbox. Text that flows through one or more threaded frames is called a story. Also, text frames can be connected (or threaded) to other text frames so that if there is too much to fit into one frame, the text automatcially flows into another frame placed elsewhere on that page or another page. Text frames can be moved, resized, and otherwise manipulated. All text in Adobe InDesign resides inside containers, called text frames. You can create text directly in the document or import it from an existing file.
