How to Place Images Inside Live Text in InDesign
Learn how to fill text in InDesign with an image or pattern and to have that text remain completely editable.
In this “Three Minutes Max” video, Mike Rankin shows how easy it is to put an image—such as a photo—inside live type within InDesign. He demos the simple steps to keeping filled text editable and then shares a bonus tip to having text change color when it overlaps an image.
Three Minutes Max comes from a fun—yet very competitive—session featured at many of our conferences and events. Speakers have three minutes (max!) to wow the audience with the tip and win a prize for a lucky conference attendee.
