Nashorn Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 For a photo book, I created in the publisher a rectangle as the cover background, colored it and created a gradient. Since the book has gotten thicker than expected, I had to make a larger cover. When I tried to copy the background rectangle onto the new page, I noticed that it has now become a text frame. How can that happen? Can I make a rectangle out of the text frame again? Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Any shape will become a text frame if you click inside it with the Text Frame Tool. I don’t think it’s possible to change it back again.

Nashorn Posted February 22, 2021 Author Share Posted February 22, 2021 I have now decided to render the page with the text frame. Hopefully this will not make any difference to the result in the PDF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, Layer > Convert to Text Frame from the menu, or right-click and Convert to Text Frame.
