In this InDesign video, Jason Hoppe shows steps you can take to make caption frames consistent, especially in relation to the images they are describing. He first demos using baseline controls to set how far the text should be from the image, then he explains the auto-size feature that lets the text frame shrink or grow to accommodate the caption text.
This video is an excerpt from Jason’s “Powerful (but rarely used) Type Controls You Should Be Using” session at The InDesign + Type Summit. Check out this and all of our events on our Events page.
