Point/Pica Size. is option changes the denition of the size of a point (and, therefore, the size of a pica). e modern (i.e., post-desk- top publishing) standard for the size of a point is 72 points per inch. If using your old Compugraphic E-scale is more important to you than anything else in life, feel free to set this option to something other than PostScript (72 pts/inch). Just don’t tell us about it, or insist that we should do the same. Keyboard Increments. What happens when you push an arrow key? at depends on the settings you’ve entered in the following elds. Cursor Key. When you have an object selected using the Selec- tion or Direct Select tool, you can move it by pressing the arrow keys. How far do you want it to move with each key press? Enter that value in this eld. Size/Leading. When you have text selected, you can increase or decrease the size and/or leading of the text by pressing keyboard shortcuts (by default, you press Command-Shi->/Ctrl-Shi-> to increase the size of the text; Command-Shi-</Ctrl-Shi-< to decrease the size; Option-Up arrow/Alt-Up arrow to increase the leading; or Option-Down arrow to decrease the leading). How much larger or smaller should the point size or leading get with each key press? Enter the amount you want in this eld. Baseline Shi. When you have selected text using the Type tool, you can increase baseline shi by pressing (by default) Option- Shi-Up Arrow/Alt-Shi-Up Arrow, or decrease baseline shi by pressing Option-Shi-Down Arrow/Alt-Shi-Down Arrow. How much baseline shi should each key press apply? Enter the amount you want in this eld. Kerning. When the text cursor is between two characters, you can apply kerning by pressing Option-Le Arrow/Alt-Le Arrow or Option-Right Arrow/Alt-Right Arrow. When a range of text is selected with the text tool, pressing this shortcut applies tracking. Enter the kerning amount you want to apply (in thousandths of an em) in this eld. InDesign can display two dierent types of grid: baseline and docu- ment. You control various aspects of their appearance using the options in this pane (see Figure 1-41). Both grids are very similar to the guides (ruler guides, margin guides, and column guides), and have a similar eect on items on your pages. Grids Preferences Real_World_Adobe_InDesign_CS4b.pdf 61Real_World_Adobe_InDesign_CS4b.pdf 61 08/04/2009 05:54:08 p.m.08/04/2009 05:54:08 p.m. . Baseline Grid. e baseline grid is an array of horizontal guides that mark o the page in units equal to a specied leading amount (note that the baseline grid isn’t really a “grid,” as it has no vertical lines). Color. Choose a color for the baseline grid using the Color pop-up menu. Start. Enter a value in the Start eld to set the distance from the top of the page at which you want the baseline grid to begin. Increment Every. Enter a distance—in general, the leading value of your publication’s body text—in the Increment Every eld. View reshold. Set the magnication at which the grid becomes visible in the View reshold eld. Document Grid. e document grid is a network of horizontal and vertical guidelines—something like graph paper. Color. Choose a color for the grid using the Color pop-up menu. Gridline Every. Enter the distance you want between grid lines in this eld. Subdivisions. Just as the document grid divides the page, sub- divisions divide the grid into smaller sections. e number you enter in this eld sets the number of subdivisions between each grid line. If you don’t want to subdivide the document grid, enter 1 in this eld. InDesign displays the grid subdivision lines using a tint of the color you specied for the document grid. Grids in Back. Turn on the Grids in Back option to make both grids appear at the bottom of the stacking order rather than on top of your page objects. - Grids Preferences Real_World_Adobe_InDesign_CS4b.pdf 62Real_World_Adobe_InDesign_CS4b.pdf 62 08/04/2009 05:54:08 p.m.08/04/2009 05:54:08 p.m. Use the Guides and Pasteboard pane of the Preferences dialog box (see Figure 1-42) to set the color for displaying margin, column, bleed, and slug guides, as well as the preview color of the pasteboard. Why isn’t there an option for setting the color of ruler guides? Because you don’t have to use the same color for all of your ruler guides—you specify the color using the Ruler Guides dialog box. (Tip: Chang- ing your pasteboard color to black before showing a client boosts the apparent contrast and looks cool. You could also change the preview color for each stage of a job—rst dra could be pink, second dra green, and so on. But remember that any color other than neutral gray may make your page or images look like they have a slight color cast on screen; that’s just the way the human eye works.) Guides and Pasteboard Preferences - Guides & Pasteboard Preferences Snap to Zone. Use the Snap to Zone option to set the distance, in screen pixels, at which guides begin to exert their mysterious pull on objects you’re drawing or dragging. Guides in Back. Turn on Guides in Back to position the guides at the bottom of the stacking order of the layer they’re on. We’ve never gured out a good reason to turn this feature o. Smart Guide Options. InDesign’s Smart Guides feature displays information about objects as you move, resize, or create them, and gives you a way to snap to other object locations on the page (see Figure 1-43). is is a terric feature, but bear in mind that it can interfere with snapping to the grid or guides.

To make your pasteboard taller, increase this value; to make it shorter, decrease the value. is is the equivalent of the old Pasteboard XTension for QuarkXPress (but without the associated bugs and troubles). e Dictionary pane of the Preferences dialog box controls the spell- ing and hyphenation dictionaries used in the document (see Figure 1-44). is looks like it would set the default dictionary for a docu- ment, but it does not. It’s very rare that you would need to change these, unless you were using a third-party plug-in oering dierent hyphenation and spelling dictionaries. Choose a dictionary from the Language pop-up menu to choose the vendor of your choice from the Hyphenation and Spelling pop-up menus. You can add addi- tional dictionaries for each language by clicking the New Dictionary or Add Dictionary buttons. Double Quotes. Enter the pair of characters you want to use for double quotes, or select them from the pop-up menu. Single Quotes. Enter the pair of characters you want to use for single quotes, or select them from the pop-up menu. Compose Using. When you add a word to your user dictionary (including changes you make to hyphenation points), InDesign Dictionary Preferences When you turn on Smart Guides, InDesign displays guides as you move objects. In this example, it’s showing us that the center of the square we’re moving aligns with the center of the larger square. When your turn on the Smart Dimensions option, InDesign displays guides when nearby objects are the same size. In this example, InDesign shows us that the height of the two rectangles is the same.

Choose User Dictionary to use the exceptions list in the current user dictionary; choose Document to use the hyphenation exceptions stored in the document; or choose User Dictionary and Document to use both exception lists. User Dictionary Options. Choose Merge User Dictionary into Doc- ument to copy the hyphenation and spelling exceptions list from the user dictionary into each document you open. Clearly, this isn’t an option you want to turn on if you frequently open documents cre- ated by other people. Choose Recompose All Stories When Modied to recompose all stories in a document when the user dictionary changes (or when you change the setting of the Compose Using pop-up menu). Recom- posing all stories in a document can be a time-consuming process; most of the time, we think you should leave this option turned o. e options in the Spelling pane of the Preferences dialog box give you control over InDesign’s spelling checker and dynamic spelling feature (see Figure 1-45). Spelling. ere’s not much to the options in the Spelling section. Turn on Misspelled Words to check for spelling errors. Turn on Repeated Words to check for “the the” and other repetitions. Turn on Uncapitalized Words to check for common capitalization errors, and turn on Uncapitalized Sentences to nd sentences that do not start with a capital letter.

Turn on the Enable Dynamic Spelling option to have InDesign mark possible spelling errors in text (this feature is very similar to the dynamic spelling features in Word or other word processors). You can specify the colors InDesign uses to mark mis- spelled words, repeated words, uncapitalized words, and uncapital- ized sentences using the pop-up menu associated with each type of spelling error.

Notes Preferences - Notes Preferences e options in the Story Editor Display pane of the Preferences dialog box control the appearance of Story windows in the docu- ment (see Figure 1-48). e idea of the Story Editor is to make text editing easier on your eyes, but it’s up to you to decide what that means. ey’re your eyes, aer all.

We had actually nally expunged the memory of the 1980s Block cursor from our minds when Story Editor brought it all back for us. e options in the Display Performance pane of the Preferences dialog box control the way that InDesign draws text and graphics on your screen. e choices you make in this pane can dramatically speed up—or slow down—drawing and redrawing the screen (see Figure 1-49). Default View Settings. Choose an option on the Default View pop-up menu to set the default view setting for the document. Perhaps we’re just middle-of-the-road guys, but we like to choose Typical. Preserve Object-Level View Settings. e Preserve Object-Level View Settings option tells InDesign to save any display settings you’ve applied to images when you save the document and then reopen it. When it’s turned o, InDesign forgets all the display settings. While it seems like a good idea to turn this on, it can increase the time it takes to open your documents, so we usually leave it o. Adjust View Settings. You can apply one of three display settings— which are named “Optimized,” “Typical,” and “High Quality”—to Display Performance Preferences Real_World_Adobe_InDesign_CS4b.pdf 68Real_World_Adobe_InDesign_CS4b.pdf 68 08/04/2009 05:54:09 p.m.08/04/2009 05:54:09 p.m. any InDesign window or object, and you can dene the parameters of each setting. Note that the names of these settings do not neces- sarily apply to the quality of the display; “High Quality” can be rede- ned to produce a lower quality display than “Optimized.” To edit the parameters of a view setting, choose the setting and then adjust the values of the options. Raster Images. is slider denes the method InDesign uses to draw imported bitmap images (TIFF, JPEG, GIF). Note that images saved in the EPS (including DCS) and PDF formats are considered “vector graphics.” See Figure 1-50. Choose Gray Out to draw every image as a gray box. Choose Proxy to have InDesign construct a low-resolution screen ver- sion of the imported graphic and use that image for display at all magnication levels. When you choose High Resolution from the Raster Images slider, InDesign gets its information about how to render an image from the original le that’s linked to your publication, which means that InDesign renders the best possible display of the image for the current magnication. is setting has no eect on the way the images print. Vector Graphics. Choose an option from the slider to dene the method InDesign uses to display vector graphics (EPS and PDF). See Figure 1-51. Choose Gray Out to draw every graphic as a gray box.
