John D Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 The text frame tool switches to the guide line tool as it approaches a guide line. I can click out of the text frame and use the handles to resize the frame to fit the desired area within the guidelines, but I find it slightly irritating that I can't just create the text frame to the exact size I want without doing this.

dutchshader Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 On the right in the menubar you can toggle edit guides on and off Quote intel core i5, 16GB 128Gb ssd win10 Pro Huion new 1060plus. philips 272p 2560x1440px on intel HD2500 onboard graphics Razer Tartarus Chroma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John D Posted September 1, 2018 Author Share Posted September 1, 2018 Hi Dutchshader. Thanks for the reply and appreciate the advice. What I hadn't made clear was that I wanted to keep the guidelines on so that I can size the text frame to them. Hence it is frustrating when the frame tool switches to the guideline tool as I approach the guideline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Press the Ctrl key while dragging, or click on the "Enable Guides Editing" button in the toolbar . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
