Which path loads a text file into the document using Place?

• A. File > Import > Text
• B. File>Place and select a text file or click an outport
• C. Edit > Load > Text
• D. Window > Utilities > Text Icon

Answer: (B)

Placing a text file into an InDesign document uses the Place command. This function is built to bring in external text and flow it into your text frames, preserving the text as you import it. After you choose File > Place and select a text file, you can either click inside an existing text frame to load the text there, or click the outport of a text frame to start threading the text into that frame or a chain of frames. This approach is what you use to insert text content from outside sources, and you can control where it starts and how it flows through your layout. The other options aren’t how InDesign loads text: there’s no Import > Text workflow, no Load > Text command, and the Text Icon in Utilities is just a tool panel, not a method for loading text.
