<< Click to Display Table of Contents >> Options of the contextual ribbon tab "Object"

If you select a text field by placing the mouse cursor on the frame of the text field, the contextual ribbon tab Object appears automatically.

However, you can only apply some general options for objects here:

▪New object: This option allows you to insert a new object into the document and different object types are available.

▪AutoShape: This option allows you to insert a new AutoShape into the document.

▪Lines: This option allows you to insert simple lines, curves and also connectors (which you can "dock" to the text frame) into the document.

▪Link text frames: This option is only possible for text frames. For more information, see Text frames.

▪Duplicate: This option creates an immediate copy of the selected object.

▪Convert: This option converts a text field included in the body text into a text field frame and vice versa.

▪Width, Height: These options change the size of the object. For more information, see Changing the size and margins of objects.

For text (field) frames, there are many more options on the ribbon tab. For more information, see next section.
