Making the Switch from PageMaker to InDesign
Wrapping text around objects
Like PageMaker, InDesign lets you apply text wrap
to objects to prevent text from flowing over and
obscuring them. In InDesign, you apply text wrap
using the Text Wrap palette (Window > Type &
Tables > Text Wrap).
Soufflés have long been regarded as difficult, temperamental, and not
to be attempted by the faint of heart. True enough, traditional soufflés
are not always a walk in the park, and results can
vary from sublime to subpar, but fear not gentle
reader, for we have the soufflé recipe for you.
What helps to make this soufflé just a little more
fool proof than most, is that it isn't really a true
soufflé at all, but stay with me here because,
when all is said and done, no one will know but
you. The trick lies in the layers of filo dough
spread throughout the mixture that help to sup-
port the batter by more evenly distributing the weight throughout the
construction and baking. This results in a soufflé that is nearly "fall-
proof" and helps to guarantee more predictable results from the oven
to your table. This is particularly helpful in the case of this recipe, as it is
served chilled, and so a much longer opportunity for trouble to occur is
built in than with a soufflé
served straight from the oven.
Text Wrap palette in InDesign
InDesign provides several options that let you
specify exactly how you want text to wrap:
To prevent text in a specific text frame from
•
wrapping, use the Ignore Text Wrap option in
the Text Frame Options dialog box.
To prevent text from wrapping around objects
•
on hidden layers, use the Suppress Text Wrap
When Layer is Hidden option in the Layers
palette.
•
To prevent text above a wrap object from
wrapping, use the Text Wrap Only Affects Text
Beneath preference in the Preferences > Text
dialog box.
For more information about wrapping text,
see InDesign Help.
Note: Text on a page will not wrap around objects on
a master page. To force text wrap to apply, detach the
wrap object from the master page and move it to the
document page instead. (For details, see InDesign
Help.)
Positioning inline graphics
PageMaker and InDesign provide similar controls
for adjusting the position of inline graphics;
however, the default position of inline graphics is
different in the two programs. In PageMaker,
inline graphics are positioned such that the lower
third of the graphic is below the text baseline and
the upper two-thirds are above it. In InDesign,
when baseline leading (the default) is selected, the
bottom of an inline graphic rests on the baseline of
the text (not below it as in PageMaker). You can
move the inline graphic up or down from the
baseline using baseline shift.
