InDesign is a powerful tool for designing various types of documents, and knowing how to make text bold is essential for creating visually impactful layouts. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced user, this step-by-step guide will walk you through the process of making your text bold in InDesign.

Step 1: Open your InDesign document

To get started, open your InDesign document or create a new one. Ensure that the text you want to make bold is already typed or inserted into the document.

Step 2: Select the text to make it bold

Using the selection tool or the text tool, click and drag over the text you wish to make bold. Ensure that only the desired text is selected.

Step 3: Access the Character Formatting Controls

Next, locate and open the "Character Formatting Controls" panel. You can find it by going to "Window" in the top menu bar, then selecting "Type & Tables" and choosing "Character." Alternatively, press "Ctrl + T" (Windows) or "Command + T" (Mac) to open the panel.

Step 4: Apply bold formatting to the text

With the text selected and the "Character Formatting Controls" panel open, locate the bold button in the panel. It usually looks like a capital "B." Click on the bold button to apply the bold formatting to the selected text. You should see an immediate change in the appearance of the text.

Step 5: Customize bold settings (optional)

If you want to customize the bold settings, you can do so by adjusting the font weight. In the "Character Formatting Controls" panel, there is a dropdown menu labeled "Font Style." Click on the dropdown menu and select the desired bold style, such as "Bold," "Black," or "Heavy." Experiment with different options until you achieve the desired effect.

Step 6: Save your changes

Once you are satisfied with the bold formatting, save your InDesign document to preserve the changes. You can press "Ctrl + S" (Windows) or "Command + S" (Mac) or go to "File" in the top menu bar and choose "Save."

Mastering the art of making text bold in InDesign opens up endless possibilities for creating visually appealing designs. By following this step-by-step guide, you can easily achieve bold formatting for your text and elevate the overall impact of your InDesign documents.
