Feature suggestion: Add wrap settings to text-style

[Helmar]

For a book project I work with pull-out quotes (see attachment). The quotes have a decoration background, and they are wrapped. However, the wrap is separate from the paragraph style, which adds another unnecessary step for clean formatting. So: please include the text wrap to the style sheet, so that one click formats the pull-out quote including the wrap settings.

Thank you. 🙂

Create a Text Frame with the font, font size, background, paragraph style, etc. that you want. Then set its Text Wrap Settings as you want.

Then, go to the Styles panel (not Text Styles), and Add Style from Selection.

When you need a new pullout quote, create its Text Frame, then click on the Style you added in the Styles panel. All your formatting will be applied, including the Text Wrap Settings.

Walt,

I created one new Text Frame Style for pull quotes that is exactly what I wanted. Thanks for your suggestion!

What I don't understand (yet) is how to insert a separate text frame that I can apply that Style to into the Linked flow of text through multiple Master Page-formatted pages in my Publisher document. I have 150 pages flowing into each other, but I would like to interrupt that flow occasionally with some Pull Quotes. I know I can Edit Detached or Edit Linked on each Master Pages but I am still unclear about (1) which of those two modes to choose; (2) how to insert a separate Text Frame that I can apply the Style to; and (3) what to do to put the now-combined linked text frames back together so the changes ripple properly through the entire publication. 

Thanks!

I think I would simply create a new text frame for the pull quote, and Pin it Floating at the proper spot in the linked frames, with its object wrap settings causing the existing text to flow around it.

[bawilliamson]

What you suggested works great. But after I choose Pin It Floating and place the Pull Quote where I want it and have the text auto-adjust around it, do I then need to do anything else, such as Unpin? Or just move on the next edit? 

Thanks again!

No, you need to leave it pinned, so it remains in the right spot if you add or delete text earlier in the document.
