For pull-quotes and other special effects you can wrap the text in one text frame around the text in another text frame. Here's how to accomplish this in Microsoft Publisher.
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: NA
Here's How:
- Select the Text Frame tool on the Objects toolbar.
- Create a new text frame inside your existing text frame. The text wraps automatically around the edge of the frame.
- Insert and format your text as desired.
- If you're happy with the appearance of the wrap you can stop here, but you may prefer to adjust the margins for a tighter or looser fit.
- With the text frame selected, select the Text Frame Properties tool on the Text Formatting toolbar.
- In the Text Frame Properties dialog adjust the left, right, top, and bottom margins.
Tips:
- Allow sufficient standoff between text blocks to visually separate them, especially when there is not a large degree of difference in the type used for each text block.
- Align the bottom of pull-quotes with the baseline of adjacent text.
