Text basics
You can work with text in a word processing document or in a text frame. In
either case, you use the same techniques, tools, and commands to enter and
format the text.
Creating a word processing document or frame
About the word processing window
When you open a word processing document, you see the word processing
menu bar, button bar, text ruler, page guides, and the insertion point. The
insertion point is a short, blinking vertical line that shows where text appears
when you type or insert text.
* Choose Index from the Help menu and type the first few letters of the entry. Double-click the
entry and then double-click a topic.
To Do this Example
Create a blank
word processing
document Choose New from the File
menu, click Word Processing, and
then click OK.
Or, click on the Default
button bar. (If you don’t see the
button bar, choose Show Button
Bar from the Window menu.)
Create a text frame
within another type
of document Select the text tool (choose
Show Tools from the Window
menu if it isn’t visible). Then,
drag the I-beam pointer
diagonally in the working area
of the document to draw a text
frame, and begin typing.
(In a word processing
document, hold down the Alt
key as you draw the frame.)
