Dear all,

I am trying to design my first non-standard text frame with some fanciness to it.

Attached is what I'm trying to achieve (or something similar), which comes from one of the presets of Apple Pages 10.x.

Could you please guide me towards some options that would help me design the border (stroke?).

I have already fiddled with the way the border will wrap around the text (the old good trial and error method!) but with this the various options I tried (Object Styles) didnt help.

Any help is really appreciated.

Thank you!

Uh?

I didn't mark this as correct as just telling me to use Illustrator is not really solving anything and it assumes I know how to do that there.

Then, even assuming that, it doesn't tell me how to import this into InDesign.

Can then someone fill in these details, please?

Thank you

illustrator is much better for this

You can do it with one click in illustrator with brush stroke

Thanks, I will try that.

Then how do I export it and apply it as a stroke to my frame in InDesign?
