So far, you’ve dragged a handle to resize the text frame, using the Selection tool. Now, you’ll use an anchor point to reshape the frame, using the Direct Selection tool.
- If the text frame on the left page is not selected, use the Selection tool to select it now.
- In the toolbox, click the Direct Selection tool. Four very small anchor points now appear at the corners of the selected text frame. The anchor points are hollow, indicating that none of them are selected.
- Select the anchor point in the upper left corner of the text frame and drag it downward until it snaps to the horizontal guide below it. (After you start dragging, you can hold down the Shift key to restrict any horizontal movement.) Make sure you drag only the anchor point—if you drag just below the anchor point, you’ll move the text frame.
- Press V on your keyboard to switch to the Selection tool. Next, you’ll change the text frame on the right page of the spread so that it mirrors the text frame on the left page.
- Click a blank area of your document to deselect the text frame, or choose Edit > Deselect All.
- Press A on your keyboard to switch back to the Direct Selection tool and click the large text block on page 5. Select the upper left anchor point of the text frame and drag it up to the same horizontal guide you used to reshape text on the left page. You can hold down the Shift key as you drag to ensure that the change is only vertical.
- Deselect all objects and then choose File > Save.
