InDesign CS5 Bible- P11

InDesign CS5 Bible- P11: InDesign is a powerful tool that serves as the standard program for professional layout and design. The latest version boasts a variety of updates and enhancements. Packed with real-world examples and written by industry expert Galen Gruman, this in-depth resource clearly explains how InDesign CS5 allows for better typography and transparency features, speedier performance, and more user control than any other layout program. | Chapter 18 Flowing Text through a Document Adjusting columns in text frames After you create a text frame and flow text into it you can still change the number of columns in it. First select the text frame with a selection tool or the Type tool or Shift click to select multiple text frames and change all their columns simultaneously . Then choose Object C Text Frame Options or press B or Ctrl B to open the Text Frame Options dialog box shown earlier in Figure 18.2 . You can also use the Control panel to quickly change the number of columns by entering a value in the Columns field when you ve selected a text frame. The Control panel also has buttons for several controls found in the Text Frame Options dialog box as Figure 18.3 shows. Note that these buttons may not appear unless you disable other buttons to make room for them using the Customize option in the Control panel s flyout menu. Tip Although programs such as InDesign have long offered multiple-column text frames many designers still draw each column as a separate frame. Don t do that Creating individual frames for each column makes it all too easy to have columns of slightly different widths and slightly different positions so you can wind up with text that doesn t align properly. Plus if you use the Text Frame Options feature to create columns you can easily change the number of columns there s no need to resize existing text frames or relink them.

The program then divides the remaining width by the number of columns to figure out .
