The Text Frame Option in Indesign doesn't work on picture boxes

The Text Frame Option doesn't work on picture boxes. It works on text boxes but not on picture boxes. It worked up until a week ago but the option is now greyed out.

Object > Text Frame Options (Cmd/Ctrl+B) is only for text frames; not graphic frames. This has always been its behavior.

Many thanks Mike; I thought we used to access it for graphic frames via Opion B but my memory must be playing up!

Hi @WiltshirePublications , The content of the selected frame has to be Text in order for Text Frame Options... to be available—that’s always been the case.
