What does the Type Tool do in InDesign?

• A. Allows you to create text frames.
• B. Moves selected objects around the page.
• C. Draws vector shapes.
• D. Applies stroke and fill attributes.

Answer: (A)

The Type Tool is used to work with text by creating text frames. When you select it and drag on the page, you draw an area type frame that defines where text lives and how it flows—across lines, columns, and pages. You can also click to start point type for a single line, but the main purpose is to establish and edit text within frames. This tool isn’t for moving objects, drawing vector shapes, or applying stroke and fill attributes, which are handled by other tools and panels.
