Just select Type > Fill with Placeholder Text to see the updated content. That’s it! You don’t even have to restart InDesign. Then select the text and export it as Format: Text Only, save the file as placeholder.txt in your Adobe InDesign folder (see below for the specific location). Once you find the one you want to use-I went with Bacon Ipsum, above-copy the text and paste it into a new InDesign document. Need some inspiration? Take a look at the options listed here: Lorem Ipsum Generators. Seeing the same text every day can get boring, so why not spice it up a bit? Did you know you can customize the text? Then next time you use Type > Fill with Placeholder Text, your custom text will used automatically to fill the frame.
I even use it in FrameMaker-I’ll hop over to InDesign, generate the text, copy it, hop back to FrameMaker, paste it and go. Maybe I need text to play with when I’m teaching, or to answer a student question, or answer a question in my role as Moderator on the InDesign Community Forum. I use placeholder text in InDesign almost every day. Placeholder text follows the rhythm of real words so you can focus on designing the layout while the writers and editors are preparing the real content.
InDesign fills the frame with faux latin text. Select a frame-or click an insertion point inside of a frame-and choose Type > Fill with Placeholder Text. InDesign allows us to generate text very quickly, which is useful when mocking up a layout.
