Hi Krystal-

I’d use two text frames, stacked right on top of each other. The one underneath will have no text in it, but a whole bunch of empty paragraphs (just a series of paragraph returns stretching to the bottom of the page) styled to create the blue lines. Then on top of that, a text frame with no fill color containing all the text.

Glad you enjoyed the video

Hi Amanda-

The background under the paper is a placed stock photo of some wood grain. Thanks for watching!

This is a great tutorial. How do you place a large amount of text on the page without moving the lines down?

Hi,

I know this may be a basic question, but how did you get your initial background to look like that? Also, the tutorial was very helpful. Thanks!
