How to Make Arrows in InDesign

Adobe InDesign is a powerful desktop publishing application. It has many options for drawing lines on a page, and it has many options for putting arrows at the end of those lines. This feature makes manually creating arrows, which can be a frustrating process, unnecessary.

Instructions

1. Start Adobe InDesign and open or create a new document.

2. Select "Window" > "Stroke" or hit F10 on the keyboard to open the Stroke Palette.

3. Select an arrowhead type from the "Start" drop-down menu in the Stroke Palette. This creates an arrowhead where the line starts.

4. Select an arrowhead type from the "End" drop-down menu in the Stroke Palette. This creates an arrowhead where the line ends.

5. Select the "Line" tool in the toolbar and draw an arrow by clicking and dragging the cursor on the open document.
