Page 30 Adobe InDesign Help Setting Up Pages Using Help Contents Index Back Setting Up Pages Setting up basic layout options Page design begins with the basics: starting a new document and setting up margins and columns. Starting a new document The New Document dialog box combines the Document Setup and Margins and Columns dialog boxes, so that you can set up the page size, margins, and page columns all in one place.
Page 31 Adobe InDesign Help Setting Up Pages Using Help Contents Index Back Orientation Click the portrait (tall) or landscape (wide) icons. These icons interact dynamically with the dimensions you enter in Page Size. When Height is the larger value, the portrait icon is selected. When Width is the larger value, the landscape icon is selected.
Page 32 Adobe InDesign Help Setting Up Pages Using Help Contents Index Back If you change page size or orientation after objects have been added to pages, you can use the Layout Adjustment feature to minimize the amount of time needed for arranging existing objects.
Page 33 Adobe InDesign Help Setting Up Pages Using Help Contents Index Back To create columns of unequal widths: 1 Go to the master or spread you want to change. 2 Using the selection tool , drag a column guide. You can’t drag it past an adjacent column guide or beyond the edge of the page.
Page 34 Adobe InDesign Help Setting Up Pages Using Help Contents Index Back You can set up different measurement systems for horizontal and vertical rulers; for example, many newspapers measure horizontal layouts in picas and vertical text stories in inches. The system you select for the horizontal ruler governs tabs, margins, indents, and other measurements.
Page 35 Ciceros 5 ciceros Note: Like other graphic-arts software from Adobe and other companies, InDesign uses PostScript points, which don’t correspond exactly to traditional printer points. There are 72.27 traditional printer points in an inch, as opposed to 72 PostScript points.
Page 36 Adobe InDesign Help Setting Up Pages Using Help Contents Index Back To move the zero point: Drag from the intersection of the horizontal and vertical rulers to the position on the layout where you want to set the zero point.
Page 37 Adobe InDesign Help Setting Up Pages Using Help Contents Index Back Creating grids Two kinds of nonprinting grids are available: a baseline grid for aligning columns of text, and a document grid for aligning objects. On the screen, a baseline grid resembles ruled notebook paper, and a document grid resembles graph paper.
Page 38 Adobe InDesign Help Setting Up Pages Using Help Contents Index Back 5 For View Threshold, type a value to specify the magniﬁcation below which the grid does not appear, and click OK. Increase the view threshold to prevent crowded grid lines at lower magniﬁcations.
Page 39 Adobe InDesign Help Setting Up Pages Using Help Contents Index Back Creating ruler guides Ruler guides are different from grids in that they can be positioned freely on a page or on a pasteboard. You can create two kinds of ruler guides: page guides, which appear only on the page on which you create them, or spread guides, which span all pages and the paste- board of a multiple-page spread.
Page 40 Adobe InDesign Help Setting Up Pages Using Help Contents Index Back To create a spread guide when the pasteboard is not visible (for example, when • you’ve zoomed in), press Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac OS) as you drag from the horizontal or vertical ruler to the target spread.
Page 41 Adobe InDesign Help Setting Up Pages Using Help Contents Index Back 7 If you like, select Preview to see the effect of your settings on the page, and then click OK. Note: The Create Guides command can create page guides only; it cannot create spread guides.
Page 42 Adobe InDesign Help Setting Up Pages Using Help Contents Index Back To make a guide snap to a ruler tick mark, press Shift as you drag it. Or select the guide, • press and hold down the Shift key, and then click the mouse button.
Page 43 Adobe InDesign Help Setting Up Pages Using Help Contents Index Back You can change the Guides in Back preference to display ruler guides in front of or behind all other objects. However, regardless of the Guides in Back setting, objects and ruler guides are always in front of margin and column guides.
Page 44 Adobe InDesign Help Setting Up Pages Using Help Contents Index Back To enable or disable snapping to the document grid or guides: Choose View > Snap to Document Grid or View > Snap to Guides, and make sure that the command is selected (enabled) or deselected (disabled).
Page 45 Adobe InDesign Help Setting Up Pages Using Help Contents Index Back Using the Pages palette The Pages palette provides information about and control over pages, spreads (sets of pages seen together), and masters (pages or spreads that automatically format other pages or spreads).

Page 47 The binding spine indicates how pages will be bound or folded in the ﬁnal piece. The Adobe InDesign Quick Reference Card included is an example of a document in which a reader sees three pages at the same time; you can arrange pages this way by creating two spreads and adding one page to each.
Page 48 Adobe InDesign Help Setting Up Pages Using Help Contents Index Back When you add, arrange, duplicate, or delete pages, the threads between text blocks on • those pages are preserved. When you add, arrange, duplicate, or delete pages, InDesign redistributes pages •...
Page 49 Adobe InDesign Help Setting Up Pages Using Help Contents Index Back 2 In the Pages palette, drag a page icon to the spread icons; a black vertical bar will appear. Drag until the bar touches a page or appears between pages. To drag an entire spread, drag its page numbers.
Page 50 Adobe InDesign Help Setting Up Pages Using Help Contents Index Back 2 In the Pages palette, drag a page out of the spread until the vertical bar is not touching any other pages. Note: If you remove an odd number of pages in a spread, later pages will change sides and objects may be repositioned relative to the new margins.
Page 51 Adobe InDesign Help Setting Up Pages Using Help Contents Index Back Numbering pages You can add a page-number marker to your pages to specify where a page number sits on a page and how it will look. Because a page-number marker updates automatically, the page number it displays is always correct even as you add, remove, or rearrange pages in the document.
Page 52 Adobe InDesign Help Setting Up Pages Using Help Contents Index Back 4 Choose Type > Insert Special Character > Auto Page Number. If the automatic page number is on a master page, it displays the master page preﬁx. On a document page, the automatic page number displays the page number.
Page 53 Adobe InDesign Help Setting Up Pages Using Help Contents Index Back You can deﬁne a section marker to label section pages automatically. Any preﬁx you add appears as part of the automatic page number, table of contents entry, cross-reference, index entry, or any other automatic number. For example, if you specify A– for Section Preﬁx on page 16 of a document, the generated number in the table of contents or index...
Page 54 Adobe InDesign Help Setting Up Pages Using Help Contents Index Back Select Style, and choose a page-numbering style from the menu. The style applies to all • pages in this section only. Note: Changing the ﬁrst page of a section from an even number to an odd number (or vice versa) switches the inside and outside edges of facing pages in that section, possibly affecting object placement.
Page 55 Adobe InDesign Help Setting Up Pages Using Help Contents Index Back 2 Choose Numbering & Section Options in the Pages palette menu. 3 Deselect the Start Section option, and click OK. To quickly identify a section in the Pages palette, position the pointer precisely over any section indicator icon .
Page 56 Adobe InDesign Help Setting Up Pages Using Help Contents Index Back If an unwanted character appears at the beginning of the page number (so that, for example, a jump line reads Cont’d on page A16 instead of Cont’d on page 16), you included a section preﬁx in the Numbering &...
Page 57 Adobe InDesign Help Setting Up Pages Using Help Contents Index Back Using masters A master is like a background that you can quickly apply to many pages. A master can be one page or a multiple-page spread. Use masters for objects or guides, such as margins, columns, page numbers, headers, footers, and repeating logos or artwork that appear in the same position on many pages.
Page 58 Adobe InDesign Help Setting Up Pages Using Help Contents Index Back To create a new master spread: Press Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac OS) as you click the New Page button in the Pages palette. A new, blank master spread appears; if Facing Pages is active in File >...
Page 59 Adobe InDesign Help Setting Up Pages Using Help Contents Index Back To apply a master to a spread, drag its name from the top half of the Pages palette to • the page numbers of the desired spread in the Pages section of the palette. When a black rectangle surrounds all pages in the desired spread, release the mouse button.
Page 60 Adobe InDesign Help Setting Up Pages Using Help Contents Index Back To duplicate a master spread: In the Masters section of the Pages palette, do one of the following: Drag the page name of a master spread to the New Page button in the Pages palette.
Page 61 Adobe InDesign Help Setting Up Pages Using Help Contents Index Back Some sets of attributes are affected together when you override any attribute in the set. These include transformation attributes (moving, scaling, rotating, reﬂecting, shearing), and attributes of contents of frames (frame options). For example, if you rotate an overridden object, and then skew the original master object’s size, the new size is not...
Page 62 Adobe InDesign Help Setting Up Pages Using Help Contents Index Back Basing one master on another You can create a master variation that is based on and updates with another master within the same document. For example, if your document has ten chapters that use master spreads that vary only slightly, base all of them on a master spread that contains the layout and objects common to all ten.
Page 63 About paths and frames You can draw objects in a document and use them as paths or as frames: Paths are vector graphics like those you create in a drawing program such as Adobe • Illustrator.
Page 64 Adobe InDesign Help Setting Up Pages Using Help Contents Index Back Frames can contain text or graphics. A text frame determines the area to be occupied by text, and how text will ﬂow through the layout. You can recognize text frames by the text ports in their respective upper left and lower right corners.
Page 65 Adobe InDesign Help Setting Up Pages Using Help Contents Index Back To use a path or graphics frame as a text placeholder frame, select a path or an empty • graphics frame, and then choose Object > Content > Text.
Page 66 Adobe InDesign Help Setting Up Pages Using Help Contents Index Back Proportionally resizing objects already aligned to two parallel margin, column, or ruler • guides or to guides on three sides, so that the objects stay with those guides if the guides move during layout adjustment.
Page 67 You can also use layers to display alternate design ideas for the same layout, or versions of advertisements for different regions. For information on converting layers from Adobe PageMaker or QuarkXPress, see the related technical support documents on the Adobe Web site.
Page 68 Adobe InDesign Help Setting Up Pages Using Help Contents Index Back Layers involve all pages of a document, including masters. For example, if you hide Layer 1 while editing page 1 of your document, the layer is hidden on all pages until you decide to show it again.
Page 69 Adobe InDesign Help Setting Up Pages Using Help Contents Index Back To specify options for existing layers: Do one of the following: Double-click a layer in the Layers palette. • Select one or more layers in the Layers palette, and choose Layer Options for [layer •...
Page 70 Adobe InDesign Help Setting Up Pages Using Help Contents Index Back Selecting, moving, and copying objects on layers By default, you can select any object on any layer. In the Layers palette, dots mark layers that contain selected objects. The layer’s selection color helps you identify an object’s layer.
Page 71 Adobe InDesign Help Setting Up Pages Using Help Contents Index Back 2 Select objects and choose Edit > Copy or Edit > Cut. 3 In the Layers palette, click the other layer to target it. 4 Select Edit > Paste.
Page 72 Adobe InDesign Help Setting Up Pages Using Help Contents Index Back To change the order of layers: In the Layers palette, drag a layer up or down in the list. You can also drag multiple selected layers. Reordering layers Showing and hiding layers You can hide or display any layer at any time.
Page 73 Adobe InDesign Help Setting Up Pages Using Help Contents Index Back To lock or unlock one layer at a time: In the Layers palette, click a square in the second column from the left to show (lock) or hide (unlock) the crossed-out-pencil icon for a layer.
Page 74 By default, a new document (or one converted from QuarkXPress) contains just one layer, called Layer 1. InDesign converts Adobe PageMaker 6.5 documents differently to accommodate the differences in PageMaker and InDesign layers. In PageMaker 6.5, master page objects on layers always appear behind all objects on document pages.
Page 75 Working with Text About text frames All text in Adobe InDesign resides inside containers called text frames. Like graphics frames, text frames can be moved, resized, and otherwise manipulated. The tool with which you select a text frame determines the kind of changes you can make. Use the type tool to enter or edit text in a frame.
Page 76 Adobe InDesign Help Working with Text Using Help Contents Index Back When you add or remove text in a threaded story, the text ﬂows through existing frames until it gets to the end of the story. (See “Adding text to frames” on page 78.) You may need...
Page 77 Adobe InDesign Help Working with Text Using Help Contents Index Back 2 Position the loaded text icon over the frame you want to connect to. The loaded text icon changes to the thread icon. Open the case for the first time and take in the sights and smells of your hand-made instrument.
Page 78 Adobe InDesign Help Working with Text Using Help Contents Index Back 2 Drag to create a new frame, or select a different text frame. InDesign threads the frame into the series of linked frames containing the story. Adding frame inside a thread (top) and result (bottom)
Page 79 Adobe InDesign Help Working with Text Using Help Contents Index Back To create an empty text frame: Using the type tool , drag to deﬁne the width and height of a new text frame. Hold down Shift as you drag to constrain the frame to a square. When you release the mouse button, a text insertion point appears in the frame.
Page 80 Adobe InDesign Help Working with Text Using Help Contents Index Back Placing text When placing text, you can specify whether the text will retain its formatting and use typographic quotation marks and apostrophes. You can also specify additional import options.
Page 81 Adobe InDesign Help Working with Text Using Help Contents Index Back Semi-autoﬂow works like manual text ﬂow, except that the pointer becomes a loaded text icon each time the end of a frame is reached, until all text is ﬂowed into your document.
Page 82 Adobe InDesign Help Working with Text Using Help Contents Index Back Inserting placeholder text While you can lay out and thread text frames before adding text to them, adding place- holder text can give you a more complete sense of your document’s design. InDesign can add placeholder text that you can easily replace with real text later.
Page 83 Adobe InDesign Help Working with Text Using Help Contents Index Back because clicking the icon in the frame overrides only that frame. However, when you hold down Shift as you click in a frame based on a master page so that text is autof- lowed, InDesign overrides all the threaded text frames, ﬂowing text into each and...

Page 85 Adobe InDesign Help Working with Text Using Help Contents Index Back Editing text InDesign includes many word-processing features. As you move the insertion point through a story, InDesign scrolls and, when necessary, turns pages to display the current insertion-point position. To move through a story more quickly, you can use keyboard shortcuts.
Page 86 Adobe InDesign Help Working with Text Using Help Contents Index Back When you use the selection tool or direct-selection tool to select a frame, the following shortcuts will help you navigate through threaded frames and change which frame is selected.
Page 87 Adobe InDesign Help Working with Text Using Help Contents Index Back To select text in a frame covered by other overlapping frames: 1 Using the selection tool , hold down Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac OS) and click to select the text frame.
Page 88 Index Back OpenType fonts such as Adobe Caslon Pro provide multiple glyphs for many standard characters. Use the Glyphs palette when you want to insert these alternate glyphs in your document. You can also use the Insert Glyphs palette to view and insert OpenType attributes such as ornaments, swashes, fractions, and ligatures.

Page 113 Typefaces (often called type families or font families) are collections of fonts that share an overall appearance, and are designed to be used together, such as Adobe Garamond. A type style is a variant version of an individual font in a font family. Typically, the Roman or Plain (the actual name varies from family to family) member of a font family is the base font, which may include type styles such as regular, bold, semibold, italic, and bold italic.

Page 117 Adobe InDesign Help Setting Type Using Help Contents Index Back By default, leading is a character attribute, which means that you can apply more than one leading value within the same paragraph. The largest leading value in a line of type deter- mines the leading for that line.
Page 118 Adobe InDesign Help Setting Type Using Help Contents Index Back Some fonts include robust kern-pair speciﬁcations. However, when a font includes only minimal built-in kerning or none at all, or if you use two different typefaces or sizes in one or more words on a line, you may want to use the optical kerning option.
Page 119 Adobe InDesign Help Setting Type Using Help Contents Index Back You can also directly adjust the kerning between words only, by using keyboard shortcuts. Word kerning isn’t the same as the Word Spacing option in the Justiﬁcation dialog box; word kerning changes the kerning value only between a speciﬁc word’s ﬁrst character and the word space preceding that character.

Page 140 InDesign composes your type in a way that best supports the speciﬁed parameters. About composition methods InDesign offers two composition methods: Adobe Paragraph Composer (the default) and Adobe Single-line Composer. Both composition methods evaluate possible breaks, and choose those that best support the hyphenation and justiﬁcation options you’ve speciﬁed for a given paragraph.
Page 141 Contents Index Back The Adobe Paragraph Composer Considers a network of breakpoints for an entire paragraph, and thus can optimize earlier lines in the paragraph in order to eliminate especially unattractive breaks later on. Paragraph composition results in more even spacing with fewer hyphens.
Page 142 Adobe InDesign Help Setting Type Using Help Contents Index Back Hyphenation is based on word lists that can be stored either in a separate user dictionary ﬁle on your computer, or in the document itself. To ensure consistent hyphenation, you may want to specify which word list to refer to, especially if you will be taking your document to a service provider or if you work in a workgroup.
Page 143 Adobe InDesign Help Setting Type Using Help Contents Index Back Preventing unwanted word breaks By using nonbreaking hyphens, you can prevent certain words from breaking at all—for example, proper names or words which, when broken, become unattractive fragments. By using nonbreaking spaces, you can also keep multiple words from breaking—for example, clusters of initials and a last name (P.
Page 144 Index Back If you are using the Adobe Single-line Composer, setting a narrow range in the Minimum and Maximum values helps achieve a desired result. However, setting a narrow range may not be beneﬁcial with the Adobe Paragraph Composer, because it decreases the difference between a reasonable break and a bad break over a range of lines.

Bitmap images are the most common electronic medium for such continuous-tone images as photographs or images created in painting programs like Adobe Photoshop. Bitmap images are resolution-dependent—that is, they represent a ﬁxed number of pixels. As a result, they can lose detail and appear jagged if they are scaled on-screen or if they are printed at a higher resolution than they were created for.

Page 225 337. Adobe Illustrator (.AI) Artwork in Adobe Illustrator 5.5 and later can be placed directly into an InDesign layout. When you place an Illustrator 9.0 and later graphic using the Show Import Options dialog box, the options are identical to those for PDF ﬁles; see “Placing a PDF ﬁle”...
Page 226 Back Adobe Photoshop (.PSD) You can place Adobe Photoshop 4.0 and later images directly into a layout. When a Photoshop ﬁle is placed in a document, all layers and layer masks are automatically ﬂattened. These changes affect the ﬁle inside the InDesign document only—the original Photoshop ﬁle is not altered.
Page 227 Adobe InDesign Help Importing, Exporting, and Managing Graphics Using Help Contents Index Back EPS ﬁles can contain Open Prepress Interface (OPI) comments, which let you use fast, low- resolution versions (proxies) of images for positioning on a page. For ﬁnal output, either InDesign or your prepress service provider can automatically replace the proxies with high- resolution versions.
Page 228 JPEG works well for photographs, but solid-color JPEG images (images that contain large expanses of one color) tend to lose sharpness. InDesign recognizes and supports clipping paths in JPEG ﬁles created in Adobe Photoshop. JPEG can be used for both online and commercially printed documents; work with your prepress service provider to preserve JPEG quality in printing.
Page 229 PostScript printers. PDF (.PDF) The Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format (PDF) is standard for the electronic distri- bution and viewing of complete documents. It preserves the layout, typography, bitmap images, and vector graphics ﬁles created in a great number of different applications. PDF can preserve color quality and layout precision for prepress work while compressing pages sufﬁciently for online distribution and viewing.

Page 340 InDesign uses two built-in proﬁles to convert between color spaces: Adobe RGB (1998) for RGB images, and U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2 for CMYK images. For example, in a CMYK workﬂow where you’re printing to a CMYK device or exporting to a format (such as EPS or PDF) with CMYK as the selected output color space, it’s important not to change the actual CMYK values.

Page 403 Adobe InDesign Help Printing Using Help Contents Index Back Printer resolution determines the number of dots available to create the halftone dot. A printer with smaller dots can produce a wider variety of halftone dot sizes, allowing more shades of gray. Screen frequency also plays a role: As screen frequency increases, the halftone cell gets smaller, and so can hold fewer printer dots, resulting in fewer possible shades of gray.
