"Reset Bounding Box" on rotated items?

[phyllisj9]

Hi,

Is there an InDesign equivalent to "reset bounding box" (an Illustrator option) on rotated items? I'm working on a layout with a bunch of angled text boxes. It'd be helpful if I could change their bounding boxes to straight again, though I couldn't find an option for that. Thought I'd ask in case I've overlooked it.

Thanks, Phyllis

Hi @stefan25427713ed4d ,

did you read the Correct Answer in this thread from 2017?

It's still correct in 2022 with InDesign's latest version.

Right-click object -> Transform -> Reset Transformations

That answer is neither InDesign nor Illustrator!

Draw a text frame on top of the existing frame and paste the text from the rotated frame into the new text frame. Make sure the attributes for the new frame match the existing frame (offsets, columns, first baseline offset, stroke, fill, etc.). Select both frames and go to Object Pathfinder > Add.

Interesting. When did Pathfinder add on to the Object menu in InDesign?
