Adding text to frames

Add text to a document

Add text to a document by typing or by pasting or placing text from a word-processing application. If your word-
processing application supports drag-and-drop, you can also drag text into InDesign frames. For large blocks of text,
the Place command is an efficient, versatile way to add text to your document. InDesign supports a variety of word-
processing, spreadsheet, and text file formats.

When you place or paste text, you do not need to create a text frame first; InDesign will create one for you automatically.

When you place text, you can select Show Import Options to determine whether the imported text maintains its styles
and formatting. Before you paste text, you can select All Information or Text Only under Clipboard Handling
Preferences to determine whether the pasted text includes additional information such as swatches and styles.
