How to Alternate Text Styles in InDesign
Learn how to create and alternating fill pattern in your InDesign text using paragraph styles.
In this “Three Minutes Max” video, Chad Chelius shows how to create an alternating pattern paragraph style on InDesign text. Using the Next Style feature, he demos how to make a “vicious loop” to create the alternate styles.
Three Minutes Max comes from a fun—yet very competitive—session at our annual CreativePro Week conference. Speakers have three minutes (max!) to wow the audience with the tip and win a prize for a lucky conference attendee.
