Probably is an easy way to do this but I can't figure it out. I have a box divided into four even quadrants -- I created it by centering a cross within the box. I now need to place type and center it within each quadrant. Guess I could create 4 separate boxes, center the text and then somehow align them and weld them together. But I have to do this repeatedly so that'll be a pain. Any ideas?

I get the concept but not sure I can follow these steps. I miswrote: the quadrants are actually not squares but rectangles. So I can't just hold down the control key to create squares. Is there a way to get the textbox to fill the rectangle automatically? Guess I could manually center the text in each box (E & C). Also when I use Snap to Object to put one rectangle against another and view in wireframe, one line is not exactly on the other unless I manually adjust. Is there another command to do that. I do appreciate the gif but it's a bit hard to follow. Thanks

Yes, look for special little icon: click just inside the rectangle and then a text frame fills rectangle
This is paragraph text - different than artistic text.
Advantage: future text will be centered when you have the right character formatting.

Oh - use of paragraph text like that works great. I found that snapping to guides more reliably overlaps the lines. I can build the boxes around a T of guidelines on the page. Thanks much
