GentleGiantEd Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 I have a PDF eBook I'm creating. I want some side boxes with text and maybe an image throughout the doc. What is the best way to produce this? Currently, I created an inline box and got the text over the top but I can't see how to connect them together so they stay together. When I select them both the "Group" feature doesn't activate. Is there a better way to accomplish this? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Assuming you're talking about Publisher, it might work best if you simply create a Text Frame, and then use the Text Frams studio panel (View > Studio > Text Frame) to set the stroke you want for the Text Frame.

GentleGiantEd Posted October 25, 2019 Author Share Posted October 25, 2019 i think I got it. I found the text frame panel and I see now that I can convert a rectangle to a text frame panel. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Or, just start by using the Text Frame tool to draw the Text Frame, and set its stroke and (if needed) fill using the Text Frame panel. No need to use a rectangle at all.
