: Text frame over line in Indesign I'm trying to duplicate a header for a book project, but I can't get my text to go over the two lines I created, like it is in the example i posted below.

Solid Background

Add the background color to the text frame. Select the text frame and then add a color to it. Make sure the text frame is above the 2 lines.

Tip: Create a character style that has left and right indents. You can then set "Fit Frame To Content". This will work great for varying text lengths.



Textured Background

Add 2 Rectangles Frames on both sides of the text.



Create your lines and group them. Copy and Paste in place.

Select one of the grouped lines and cut (CMD / CTRL X), select one of the empty frames. Go to Edit -> Paste Into.

Do the same for the other lines.
