InDesign • Use the Object > Fitting commands to center the object within the frame, fit the content to the frame, or fit the frame to the content. For more information about paths and frames, or about moving a graphics frame or its content, see InDesign Help. Using frames to design pages Both PageMaker and InDesign let you design pages using empty frames as placeholders for text or graphics. In InDesign, you can draw placeholder frames using the frame-drawing tools in the toolbox. For example, a rectangle drawn using the Rectangle tool does not include a placeholder X, but a rectangle drawn using the Rectangle Frame tool does include a placeholder X. For more information about laying out pages with frames, see InDesign Help. In PageMaker, you can work with imported graphics as stand-alone objects or place graphics into frames. InDesign automatically adds frames to graphics you import, so every imported graphic has a frame. Like PageMaker, InDesign uses text frames; however, InDesign text frames and text placeholders use ports, rather than handles, to show how text frames are threaded. (See "Working with InDesign text frames" on page 27.) Creating columns In both PageMaker and InDesign, you can create columns for text when you first set up your document. Both programs let you change the number of columns later, or manually adjust the width of columns by dragging them in the document window.

Use the Object > Fitting commands to center
the object within the frame, fit the content to
the frame, or fit the frame to the content.
For more information about paths and
frames, or about moving a graphics frame or
its content, see InDesign Help.
Using frames to design pages
Both PageMaker and InDesign let you design
pages using empty frames as placeholders for
text or graphics. In InDesign, you can draw
placeholder frames using the frame-drawing tools
in the toolbox. For example, a rectangle drawn
using the Rectangle tool
does not include a
placeholder X, but a rectangle drawn using
the Rectangle Frame tool
does include a
placeholder X.
Placeholder frames

PageMaker
B.
InDesign
For more information about laying out pages
with frames, see InDesign Help.
In PageMaker, you can work with imported
graphics as stand-alone objects or place graphics
into frames. InDesign automatically adds frames
to graphics you import, so every imported graphic
has a frame. Like PageMaker, InDesign uses text
frames; however, InDesign text frames and text
placeholders use
ports,
rather than handles, to
show how text frames are threaded. (See “Working
with InDesign text frames” on page 27.)
Creating columns
In both PageMaker and InDesign, you can create
columns for text when you first set up your
document.
Both programs let you change the
number of columns later, or manually adjust the
width of columns by dragging them in the
document window.
