If the styles in the Word or RTF file 

have names that do not match the 

styles in your InDesign document, 

you can use Customize Style Import 

to map them properly.
When you click OK, InDesign places 

the text into the currently selected 

text frame. If no frame was selected, 

InDesign loads the Place icon ( ):

 ■ To flow text manually, move the 

loaded Place icon inside an exist-

ing frame, and then click. The text 

stops flowing at the bottom of 

the frame or the last of a series of 

threaded frames. You can also click 

an empty area to create a new text 

frame that’s the size of the current 

page column. If you click and drag 

the loaded Place icon, you create a 

new frame the size of the rectangle. 

Here’s a quick overview of how to 
resize and crop images:

 

■ To scale a frame and its contents, 

hold down Command (Mac OS) 
or Ctrl (Windows) while dragging 
a handle with the Selection tool. 
Add the Shift key to maintain the 
proportions as you resize. 

 

■ To scale to a specific width or 

height, replace the X or Y per-
centage value in the Control 
panel with a specific value.

 

■ To crop an image inside a frame, 

click the frame with the Selection 
tool and drag one of its side or 
corner handles.

 

■  To move an image inside its 

frame, use the Selection tool to 
drag the Content Grabber, or dou-
ble-click the graphic to select it, 
and then drag the image.

 

■ To fit a frame to its content, dou-

ble-click a frame handle or press 
Command+Option+C (Mac OS) 
or Ctrl+Alt+C (Windows). This 
works for text frames, too.

 

■ To scale an image to fit inside a 

frame, you can choose Fit  
Content Proportionally or Fill 
Frame Proportionally from the 
Object > Fitting menu.

If the text frame is overset, you can 

click the out port with the Selec-

tion tool, and continue manually 

flowing text.

 ■ To flow text semiautomatically, 

hold down Option (Mac OS) or 

Alt (Windows), and click a frame 

or empty area. Semiautoflow works 

like manual text flow, but the 

pointer becomes a loaded Place 

icon again after each click.

 ■ To flow text automatically and gen-

erate new pages to hold all of the 

text, hold down the Shift key when 

you click. 

 ■ To flow text automatically but 

not generate new pages, hold 

down Shift+Option (Mac OS) or 

Shift+Alt (Windows).

If you already have a frame selected 

on your document page, you can 

import a graphic into it by choos-

ing File > Place. In the Place dialog 

box, select the graphic you want to 

import, select Replace Selected Item 

at the bottom of the Place dialog box, 

and then click Open.
If you have no frame selected on your 

page, or you deselect the Replace 

Selected Item option, when you 

click Open in the Place dialog box 

InDesign loads the Place icon  . 

Then you can:

 ■ Click an empty area of the page or 

pasteboard to create a new frame 

the size of the graphic, or click 

and drag the loaded graphics icon 

to create a frame the size of the 

 

■ To specify default fitting options 

for a frame, use the controls in 
the Frame Fitting Options dialog 
box (Object > Fitting > Frame  
Fitting Options).
