Resizing frames
In this recipe, we will learn how to resize frames in InDesign, doing so freehand, resizing to precise width and height values, and doing so by exact percentages. We will also look at useful shortcuts for resizing your content proportionally along with the frame and auto-resizing the frame to display all overset text.
