Interesting. I’m always looking for ways to make my books look more visual. This is a bit much, but who knows, I might find a place for it, particularly since your explanation was so clear and easy.
One suggestion. Given the growth of ebooks and the attention ID’s powerful epub fixed layout is beginning to get, it’d be great if InDesign Secrets suggestions and Lynda videos would tell listeners whether or not a technique exports properly to epub fixed layout and what happens to it in reflowable epub.
I can see using this in posters & flyers. Cool tips.
I agree with Michael Perry, it would be a good thing to mention whether or not it works in ePubs.
Thanks!
No, rotating text or frames — like text on a path and 98% of other text flow effects in InDesign — does not show up in reflowable epub.
I just noticed that if I try to rotate a graphic (photo/image) it hops totally out of the graphic frame. How is that properly done?
You probably have the upper-left selected for rotation. Select the center (upper left-hand corner of the UI) and then rotate. The graphic will remain visible in the frame.
