InDesign

Remove a frame’s content

  1. Do one of the following:
    • If you’re removing a graphic or a text frame, select the object with the Direct Selection tool .

    • If you’re removing text characters, select them with the Type tool .

  2. Do one of the following:
    • To permanently remove the content, press Delete or Backspace, or drag items to the Delete icon.

    • To place the content elsewhere on the layout, choose Edit > Cut, deselect the frame, and then choose Edit > Paste.

Note: An imported image cannot exist without a frame. If you cut an imported image from its frame and paste it elsewhere within a document, a new frame will be created for it automatically.
