Melton- Placeholder Text

When creating layouts sometimes in publication design we don't get the copy for the design until closer to deadline and the layout needs to be getting underway. Instead of imagining what the text may look like or spending out precious time typing kljnsdfu this kind of stuff in the space there is a better way.

First, create a regular 'ol textbox which we all know how to do now.

Then, go up to your menu and go to the type dropdown thing and choose fill with placeholder text. Like so.





It will then look like this! Nice and neatly filled with whatever size/style you choose. (Maybe from a premade style sheet.) Go you!
