That statue image uses a Text Wrap with the “Detect Edges” option turned on. InDesign, by default, allows Text Wrap regardless of layering order. To specifically turn that off (which is how QuarkXPress historically handled wraps), you’d have to do so from Preferences > Composition and choose Text Wrap Only Affects Text Beneath. I don’t recommend this. The default is much better. You can find out a lot more about text wrap behavior in Episode 44.

I’m going to start advising my clients of this video and send them links to your website. I think the way that you explain the issues are much clearer that reading a “white paper” released by Adobe which seems more confusing than helpful.

Great work, I’ll be subscribing to your podcasts and look forward to information on Acrobat 9 and CS4.

To my embarrassment, I discovered that for the first time since both podcasts started in November, we actually had overlapping topics. Oops!
But the more I listened, the less horrified I felt. My latest episode discusses “safe” practices for output, covering the basic principles that will be your bullet-proof method for avoiding unexpected transparency-related problems on the printed page. David and Anne-Marie took that conversation to the next level, talking about newer, more sophisticated output devices and methods, spot color issues, and the Output Preview and Separations Preview features.

So the credit goes to them for getting there first. If my latest video episode raises a lot of questions about these other features, definitely give Episode 22 of InDesign Secrets a listen for more great information on this topic.
