Anchor object to boxed texts

Hi 

 

A former designer created this menu file in InDesign. 

He created some sort of an anchored style, so that the text sits inside a boxed frame.

The texts are editable, the box I need to resize per the text length. 

 

How did he create this?!

It's just an anchored text frame inline with the text 

If you want to resize them you can grab the Handle on the right and just drag it wide.

 

If you want to be smart about it then set it to autosize in Width only from the left

 

 

Then anything you type the size will change.
