GreenAsJade Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 How do you efficiently draw a box with text in it? I have used rectangle tool to create the box, then text frame to put text in, but this make the rectangle "disappear" - the whole thing becomes a text frame the size of the rectangle, but with no borders.

hengkidh Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Did your cursor turned into something like in the screenshot I attached? If so, then you have to deselect the rectangle first.

GreenAsJade Posted October 1, 2018 Author Share Posted October 1, 2018 Thanks! At first I thought this was going to be too "clunky" to be the right solution ... "surely there must be a better way" ... but actually it's perfectly workable firstdefence 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
