New Contest! The Ultimate Fix for Overset Text
Hey folks, it’s time for another InDesign mystery that you can solve for a chance to win an awesome prize!
Here’s the scenario (and because it’s Halloween season, we picked one that’s totally terrifying): You have a long document with over 100Â separate text frames, and all of them are slightly overset!

Your deadline is right now, so you have just one minute to fix all the overset text in the document. You are not allowed to edit the text in any way and you cannot change any text formatting. How can you solve this problem?!
This month’s prize is a copy of Sandee Cohen’s awesome book, Creating Animations in Adobe InDesign CC One Step at a Time.Â
There will be two winners:
- The first person to email me the correct answer
- A person chosen at random from all the correct answers I receive before October 28th, 2015
Enter now by emailing your solution to mike at indesignsecrets.com
Note: Comments are closed on this post while the contest is open so no one gives away the answer. Good luck!
