Adding text
With InDesign, most text is contained by a text frame. (Text can also be contained in table
cells and flow along paths.) You can type text directly into a text frame or import text files
from word-processing programs. When importing text files, you can add the text to exist-
ing frames or create frames to contain the text. If text doesn't fit within the same frame,
you can “thread,” or link, the text frames.
Typing and styling text
You're ready to start working on the incomplete postcard. First, you'll type text in a text
frame shaped like a “speech balloon.” Then, you will format the text and adjust its place-
ment within the frame.
