How to Create a Diagonal Split in Text Boxes in InDesign

Well... when you draw a diagonal line across a rectangle, you end up with two shapes called "triangles." 😄

And that may be enough if the need is for two visual triangles with the same color and stroke. But if different fill and/or stroke colors etc. are needed, you need at least one triangle overlaying a rectangle, if not two triangles faced off to form the rectangle. From there, there are several combinations of elements depending on whether the graphic and text frame elements are separate or combined.

Let's see, these would work with same background/strokes —

• Rectangular text frame, graphic diagonal, second triangular text frame with text-wrap set to shape the other text;
• Rectangular shape frame, drawn diagonal, two triangular text frames;

And these would allow two differently colored (and stroked) triangular halves of a rectangle —

• Two triangular text frames with graphic characteristics set and merged into a rectangle;
• A rectangle with graphics set and a triangle with graphics set, using text wrap on the latter;
• A rectangle and a triangle for graphics, with two triangular text frames set above them...

Etc. (Was I that unclear?)

Thank you for your help!! I really appreciate it (((:
