Is there a Convert to Point Type option in indesign?

[leonl45055084]

Hello,

Sorry to boder you if this question has been asked. I wonder  if  there is a Convert to Point Type option in indesign, like in the illustrator? Or something function similar?

Thanks in advance!

No, You can set type on a path, but there's not a way to convert a text frame into paths via the UI. it probably could be scripted.

No, in InDesign all type is contained in a frame.

For point type-like behavior, you could set the frame to Auto-Size > Height and Width, and tick the Constraints > No Line Breaks option.

For efficiency, make it an Object Style and assign a key-shortcut.

Hi Leon:

As previously stated, no, so tell us what you are trying to accomplish—we can probably help you get where you want to go. Or, note that you can place Illustrator objects into your InDesign layout if we can't.
