: Column Guides Are Unlocked But I Still Can't Move Columns In A Text Frame I'm using Adobe InDesign CC. I have a three column text frame and I need the middle frame to be just a bit larger
I'm using Adobe InDesign CC. I have a three column text frame and I need the middle frame to be just a bit larger than the left and right columns. I have unlocked Column Guides by unchecking View > Grids & Guides > Unlock Column Guides, but with both the Selection Tool and Direct Selection Tool I don't get the cursor changing nor does clicking and dragging on the guide do anything but move the entire text frame.
I have read tutorials with pictures and I see that it's possible, however I must be missing something. Help!
EDIT: This is a blue text frame I'm talking about, not the purple column guides that would be established in the document settings.

You can't alter the width of an individual column within a text frame, they all have to be equal. To create columns of unequal width or height, create threaded text frames (a story) side-by-side on either a document page or a master page.
Make sure it's unchecked on right click as well:
That being said, typography wise you never want to do that - it's better to separate the column grid into smaller groups, for example in your case separate it into 7 columns so you have 2-2-3, or 4 columns so you have 2-1-1, or something like that
