Add a new Text Frame to a Page

Tip: With the "Text" Tab open and no other Frame selected, you can also draw a Frame anywhere on the Page. Printess will automatically create a new Multi Line Text Frame within the drawn Frame. You could then Make a Multi Line Text Frame a Single Line Text Frame.


  1. Without any Frame selected, go to the "Text" Tab on the Feature Panel.
  2. Choose the Text Type you want to add from the list (all Text Types explained here).
  3. Click on the Text Type you want to add to the Page.


Info: Printess will always place the new Text Frame at the Top Left corner of your Page with a 5% Margin. New Text Frames will always have a Width of 50% the Width of the Page. You can then Change the Size and the Position of the Frame.
