Now that you have a basic understanding of setting up a document and using the
Tool
Box , you can begin inserting text. Using the Text Tool ( T ) ( Fig. 10 ), click onto your page
to enable the text cursor. Don’t be discouraged if the cursor does not line up exactly
where you want to place your text – you can move and format your text later. Begin
typing your content. Once you have your raw text on the page you can begin
manipulating it to your liking.
Change from the
Text Tool to the Pointer Tool and click over your text. You will notice
that your text has been placed into a “box” of sorts. This is called an Element . Many
objects and all of your text must be within an Element ; there is no “freestanding” text in
an InDesign document as you might find in a Microsoft Word document.
Using the
Pointer Tool , you can move the Element of text around to anywhere you like
on the page. Using the “grippers” on the corners of the Element , you can adjust the
width and length of the Element . If you do not specify a length for the Element , it will
expand according to the length of your text, however, if you adjust the length of the
Element to be smaller than your text, your text will not be visible. A red tab below the
Element indicates that there is more content within the Element that is not visible
( Fig. 11 ).
