Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. You can tweak your clouds with different fonts, layouts, and color schemes. The images you create with Wordle are yours to use however you like. You can print them out, or save them to the Wordle gallery to share with your friends.

Like the other InDesign Trick, but knock out live text to reveal the background image.

1. create a text box, type something in it
2. set the opacity of the text box to zero
3. create another box for it to be knocked out of  (solid color is preferrable)
4.  Group the two objects together, and select ‘knock out group’ from the effects panel
5. the zero opacity text should now be transparent, allowing any background image to show through
