If your layout includes design elements specific to the right or left side of the spread, turn on this option. If your left
and right pages are interchangeable, you can turn off this option. This option is dimmed if the document does not have
facing pages.

Delete Empty Pages

Select this option to delete pages when you edit text or hide conditions. Pages are deleted only if

the emptied text frame is the only object on the page.

To see how Smart Text Reflow can let you use InDesign as a text editor, create a document with Facing Pages turned
off and Master Text Frame selected. In Type preferences, make sure that Smart Text Reflow and Delete Empty Pages are

selected. On the first page, hold down Ctrl+Shift (Windows) or Command+Shift (Mac OS), and click the master text frame
to override it. When you type enough text to fill this text frame, a new page and text frame is added automatically. If you
delete enough text, a page is removed.

Wrapping text around objects

Wrap text around objects

You can wrap text around any object, including text frames, imported images, and objects you draw in InDesign. When
you apply a text wrap to an object, InDesign creates a boundary around the object that repels text. The object that text
wraps around is called the wrap object. Text wrap is also referred to as runaround text.

Keep in mind that text wrap options apply to the object being wrapped, not the text itself. Any change to the wrap
boundary will remain if you move the wrap object near a different text frame.

Wrap Around Bounding Box

Creates a rectangular wrap whose width and height are determined by the bounding box of the selected object,
including any offset distances you specify.

Wrap Around Object Shape

Also known as contour wrapping, creates a text wrap boundary that is the same shape as the frame you’ve selected
(plus or minus any offset distances you specify).
