Modifying objects using graphics frames
If a graphic exists inside a frame (as all imported graphics do), you can modify it by
changing its relationship to its frame, as in the following examples:
Crop a graphic by making its frame smaller than the graphic.
•
Create various masking and layout effects by pasting an object into a frame.
•
Add a keyline or outline to a graphic by changing the stroke weight and color of
•
its frame.
Center a graphic against a background rectangle by enlarging its frame and setting the
•
frame's fill color.
To paste an object into a frame:
1 Do one of the following:
To paste one object inside a frame, select the object.
•
To paste two or more objects inside a frame, group them first, because a frame can
•
contain only one object.
To paste a text frame inside another frame and preserve its current appearance, select
•
the entire text frame using the selection or direct-selection tool, not the text tool.
2 Choose Edit > Copy (or Edit > Cut, if you don't want to keep the original).
3 Select a path or frame, and then choose Edit > Paste Into.
Image pasted into a frame
To remove a frame's content:
1 Do one of the following:
When you're removing a graphic or a text frame, select the object with the direct-
•
selection tool . The direct-selection tool automatically changes to the hand tool
when placed over the content of the frame.
