frames, create an object style that you can apply to your text frames.- Using the Selection tool

a frame, or using the Type tool 
, click inside
the text frame or select text. - Choose Object > Text Frame Options, or hold down Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) and then double-click the text frame using a selection tool.
