Select the Type tool in the toolbox.
With the Type tool selected, drag in the Document window to add a text frame to the document, or click in an existing text frame to add text.
Choose Type > Fill With Placeholder Text to fill the frame with placeholder text.
With the text cursor in the text frame, type your text. Text will wrap once it reaches the right edge of the text frame. Dragging a corner of the text frame scales the text object and wraps the text within it. If the text frame is too small, a red plus appears in the lower-right corner of the frame, indicating overset text (the text doesn’t fit). Reposition the text object with the Selection tool in the toolbox.
Format text with the options in the Properties panel.
Select the Type tool in the toolbox.
With the Type tool selected, drag in the Document window to add a text frame to the document.
With the text cursor in the text frame, by default, type your text.
With the Selection tool in the toolbox selected, double-click a bounding box point around the frame to fit the frame to the text.
Choose Object > Text Frame Options. Set the number of columns to 2 and select Balance Columns to balance the paragraphs of text. Set other options as needed, and then click OK.
