Fills

As in QuarkXPress, the fills of InDesign's frames can be transparent (None), a color, or a gradient. However, while XPress doesn't let you fill paths, InDesign does (see Figure 14-2). If you haven't closed a path, InDesign connects the starting and ending points and then fills the inside of the shape. (If the path is more complex, the fill will be less predictable.)

XPress users are familiar with applying color to text, but InDesign lets you fill your text with a color, a gradient, or even None (no color). Of course, filling text with None doesn't make any sense unless you have also applied a stroke to the text (see below).

As noted above, the Tools palette's fill and stroke controls are also where you choose whether you're working with the color of a text frame or the color of the text within the frame.
