Setting InDesign's text wrap globally

James's picture

ALTTired of setting your text wrap with each new object you create in Adobe InDesign? Much like setting colors or character styles globally, you can also set InDesign to always use your preferred text wrap method with new documents.

To do so, close all your InDesign documents and open the text wrap panel. Set your preferred text wrap method by clicking on one of the wrap icons. Now, whenever you create a new document, the default text wrap you chose will be used for all objects.

To restate the obvious, the new settings will only take effect in NEW InDesign documents.

Not just text wrap…

This tip of setting certain parameters without a document open allows you to set defaults for much more than just text wrap – pretty much any setting you can tweak without an open document can be set as your default.

Also, be sure to quit InDesign after setting these, as a crash will result in losing the settings (at least it has been in my experience). Best to just quit and restart once you have things the way you want them.
