Creating text inside a frame
- [Instructor] All right, now I'll show you how to create text inside of a frame, so that the text automatically wraps from one line to the next, as in the case of this white so-called body copy. But first, I want to show you something. Notice that I've saved my catch-up document as a JPEG file, as indicated by that three character extension up there in the title tab, jpg. And so, even though JPEG does not support layers, which is why we're just seeing this flat background here inside the layers panel, it does support guidelines. And incidentally, guidelines do not print. They just provide structure for your document in the form of snapping, as we're about to see. All right, so, if you're working along with me, you'll want to open this text-only file. It's called HG Wells The Star.txt. and you can open it in any text editor you like. And then you'll want to select and copy this text, presumably by pressing Control + A here…
