Use the scissors tool to cut paths apart. Combine multiple paths into compound paths to create unusual shapes with transparent areas. Convert text to paths to create frames you can fill with images, graphics, or other text. • Format text along any path in InDesign. Create a 3D appearance and apply special effects, such as 3D Ribbon or Gravity. Using slider indicators, manipulate start and end points for the text. • "Nest" text and graphics frames. Use any object-including basic or hand-drawn shapes and converted text-as a frame, and then paste other frames into it to produce eye-catching design elements in a few quick steps. • Give your shapes depth and dimension by applying gradient strokes and fills to the shapes. Specify linear or radial gradients, and then use the Gradient tool to adjust the angle of the linear gradient or the center point of a radial gradient.

Learning About Adobe InDesign CS PageMaker Edition
To create a quick design element for your
publication, use the Pen tool or Pencil tool to
draw new paths or to edit the paths from images
you’ve inserted into your document. Use the
scissors tool to cut paths apart. Combine
multiple paths into compound paths to create
unusual shapes with transparent areas. Convert
text to paths to create frames you can fill with
images, graphics, or other text.
Format text along any path in InDesign. Create
a 3D appearance and apply special effects, such
as 3D Ribbon or Gravity. Using slider
indicators, manipulate start and end points for
the text.
“Nest” text and graphics frames. Use any
object—including basic or hand-drawn shapes
and converted text—as a frame, and then paste
other frames into it to produce eye-catching
design elements in a few quick steps.
Give your shapes depth and dimension by
applying gradient strokes and fills to the shapes.
Specify linear or radial gradients, and then use
the Gradient tool to adjust the angle of the
linear gradient or the center point of a radial
gradient.
For more information on transparency, paths
and shapes, type on a path, nested objects, or
gradients, see InDesign Help.
