• When you place text into a frame on a document page that is based on one of several threaded frames on a master
page, the text flows into just the frame you click. That’s because clicking the icon in the frame overrides only that
frame. However, when you hold down Shift as you click in a frame based on a master page so that text is auto-
flowed, InDesign overrides all the threaded text frames, flowing text into each and creating new pages as needed.
• When text is placed in a master text frame of a master page, these changes are not reflected in the document page
even if the text in the frame is edited on this page. Changes in fill, stroke, and stroke weight in the master text frame
are reflected in the document page (when these attributes are not overridden on the document page).

Determine word and character counts
1 Place the insertion point in a text frame to view counts for the entire thread of frames (the story), or select text to
view counts only for the selected text.
2 Choose Window > Info to display the Info panel.
The Info panel displays the number of characters, words, lines, and paragraphs in a text frame. The position of the
insertion point within the text frame also appears.

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 automat-
ically.
When you place text, you can select Show Import Options to determine whether the imported text maintains its
stylesandformatting.Beforeyoupastetext,youcanselectAllInformationorTextOnlyunderClipboardHandling
Preferences to determine whether the pasted text includes additional information such as swatches and styles.
If the text you import into your document includes pink, green, or another color of highlighting, you likely have one
or more composition preference options turned on. Open the Composition section of the Preferences dialog box, and
notice which options are turned on under Highlight. For example, if the pasted text is formatted with fonts not available,
the text is highlighted in pink.
Dear manymanuals.pl Admin! my name’s Eric and for just a second, imagine this… - Someone does a search and winds up at manymanuals.pl. - They hang out for a minute to check it out. I’m interested… but… maybe… - And then they hit the back button and check out the other search results instead. - Bottom line – you got an eyeball, but nothing else to show for it. - There they go. This isn’t really your fault – it happens a LOT – studies show 7 out of 10 visitors to any site disap
Dear, Eric here with a quick thought about your website manymanuals.pl Owner! I’m on the internet a lot and I look at a lot of business websites. Like yours, many of them have great content. But all too often, they come up short when it comes to engaging and connecting with anyone who visits. I get it – it’s hard. Studies show 7 out of 10 people who land on a site, abandon it in moments without leaving even a trace. You got the eyeball, but nothing else. Here’s a solution for y
