Typing and editing text

- [Narrator] I know people who have put away Microsoft Word…and they use InDesign as their word processor.…Really, and that does seem a bit extreme to me.…I mean, if you need an alternate word processor…that works well with InDesign,…you should probably be using Adobe's InCopy software.…But, that said, InDesign does let you…type and edit text pretty efficiently.…Let me show you how.…I want to select some text over here…in this frame on the right hand page,…so I'm going to select that text frame on the page…and zoom in to 200% by pressing CMD + 2 on the mac,…or CTRL + 2 on Windows.…

Now, I'd like to place text cursor inside this story.…But instead of going all the way over to the tool panel…to select my type tool,…I'm going to use a short cut.…I'm just going to double click…with a selection tool on my text frame.…That tells InDesign to switch to the type tool…and place the cursor exactly where you double clicked.…It is so helpful to be able to do that quickly.…Now if you want to select the frame again,…all you have to do is press the escape key on the keyboard.…
