change an artistic text frame into a text frame


Recommended Posts

Hi, I can't figure out how to change an artistic text frame to a "normal" text frame. For example, once the artistic text frame is set, I don't see how to change the border spacing, which is easy to do with a text frame.

Or is there no way to change the artistic text once selected into a more editable text frame? I'm sure I'm overlooking something ...

Best

There is no way. You must copy the text, create your text frame, and paste.

I'm not sure I know what you mean by border spacing. But you can certainly move your artistic text using the Move Tool, if that helps.

Thanks for the clarification.

No, you can't convert. You need to consider which you need, based on their characteristics, before creating the text. And if you change your mind it's time for copy/paste.

The ability to convert had been requested by others.
