being a graphic design professional ;), you might get in the situation that you want to insert one or more pictures inside fonts (editable and non-vectorized) .

so you try to convert the text to outlines and place the picture inside the resulting frame.
but hei!
even though InDesign can do incredible things with text and images, at first sight it won’t do this…

in fact, it’s been possible since indesign 2!
all you need are some basic understanding of blending modes and four simple steps:

1. choose a bold or black typeface so that the image will be visible through it.
2. go to: fill text - swaches - paper
3.then type - create outline. and it will work
4. place image in text or simply drag and drop the image you want in the selected text
