Here’s a simple and quick guide on how to shape text in Adobe InDesign:
- To create shaped text in Adobe InDesign, go to the left-hand toolbar, click the 'Rectangle Tool', and select your preferred shape to use as a text template.
- Drag your chosen shape onto the page, then select the 'Type Tool' from the left toolbar to insert text into the shape.
- Click inside the shape to place the cursor, then type or paste your paragraph.
- Notice how the text flows along the shape template. Repeat the steps with other shapes to see the effect.
- Once the text is inserted into the shapes, open the Properties panel, select 'Stroke,' and set it to 'None' to make the shape’s frame invisible.
- You have successfully shaped text in Adobe InDesign.
