Text Boxes

I am self taught and need some help.



I need to put a text box into another text box.



My goal is for second text box to move (not flow the text into the second text box) if I need to add text above in the first text box.



I hope this is clear someone can help me.



Thanks,

Kyle

Maybe a table is more the mechanism you need?

Draw the second text box, put some text in it, select it, cut it, paste

it into the first text box. Choose Object %26gt; Anchored Object %26gt; Options to

adjust positioning.



But I agree with Mike. A single-cell table will be anchored and has the

added benefit of being able to grow as you add more text.

Using a table solved my problem. Thanks for the help.

Kyle - A text box is called a ''text frame'' in InDesign. For more information on text frames, go here:

Also, you may want to watch a few video tutorials to make yourself more comfortable with InDesign terminology and tasks. Here's a list of tutorials:
