INDESIGN 3-38 Setting up a Document FIGURE 56 Link icon FIGURE 55 Identifying in ports and out ports Threading Text InDesign provides many options for threading text—linking text from one text frame to another. Text frames have an in port and an out port. When threading text, you use the text frame ports to estab- lish connections between the text frames. In Figure 55, the center text frame is selected, and the in port and out port are identified. The in port represents where text would flow into the text frame, and the out port represents where text would flow out. In the same figure, note that the out port on the first text frame is red and has a plus sign in its center. This indicates the pres- ence of overset text—more text than can fit in the frame. To thread text manually from the first to the second text frame, first click the Selection Tool, then click the frame with the overset text so that the frame is highlighted. Next, click the out port of the text frame. When you float your cursor over the next text frame, the cursor changes to the link icon, as shown in Figure 56. Click the link icon and the text flows into the frame, as shown in Figure 57. When the Show Text Threads command on the View menu is activated, a blue arrow appears between any two text frames that have been threaded, as shown in Figure 58. Red out port of first text frame indicates overset text Out port In port Link icon floating over text frame Lesson 4 Place Text and Thread Text INDESIGN 3-39 FIGURE 57 Threading text between frames FIGURE 58 Showing text threads Text thread between frames INDESIGN 3-40 Setting up a Document Place text on document pages 1. Double-click the page 2 icon in the Pages palette. Because the left text frame on page 2 is a master page object, it cannot be selected as usual—however, you can place text into the frame without selecting the frame. 2. Click File on the menu bar, click Place, navigate to the drive and folder where your Chapter 3 Data Files are stored, then double- click Chapter 1 text. 3. Point to the left text frame. The loaded text icon appears in parentheses, signaling you that you can insert the loaded text into the text frame. 4. Click anywhere in the left text frame, then compare your work to Figure 59. The red out port with the plus sign indicates that there is overset text—more text than can fit in the text frame. You used the Place command to load text into a text frame on a document page. FIGURE 59 Placing text in a text frame Red out port of first text frame indicates overset text Placed text Controlling how text is placed When you place Word or RTF text in InDesign you have a number of options to choose from regarding how text is imported. For a Word document, for example, you can choose to include or not include footnotes, endnotes, table of contents text and index text. You can also choose to remove any previous styles applied to text and any table formatting. Conversely you can opt to retain styles and table formatting applied to incoming text. For an RTF document, you can specify to remove extra carriage returns, replace multiple spaces with tabs, and sev- eral other options. After you click Place on the File menu and find the Word or RTF docu- ment that you want to place, click the Show Import Options check box, then click Open. The Import Options dialog box opens. Make your selections in this dialog box, then click OK. The text will be placed with or without the options that you chose. Lesson 4 Place Text and Thread Text INDESIGN 3-41 Thread text 1. Click View on the menu bar, then click Show Text Threads. With the Show Text Threads command activated, blue arrows will appear between threaded text frames when they are selected. 2. Click the Selection Tool , click the left text frame to select it, then click the out port of the left text frame. 3. Position the pointer on top of the right text frame so that you see the link icon. 4. Click anywhere in the right text frame. As shown in Figure 60, a blue text thread appears and the text is threaded from the left to the right text frames. TIP A threaded text frame must be selected for the text threads to be visible. 5. Using the same process, thread text from the second text frame to the third text frame on the spread, then thread text from the third text frame to the fourth text frame, so that your two-page spread resembles Figure 61. 6. Click the out port on the fourth text frame, then double-click the page 4 icon in the Pages palette. 7. Click anywhere in the first text frame on page 4. 8. Click the out port of the first text frame on page 4, then click anywhere in the second text frame. Your page 4 should resemble Figure 62. You threaded text manually on document pages. FIGURE 60 Threading text FIGURE 61 Viewing threaded text through four text frames FIGURE 62 Viewing threaded text on page 4 Out port Blue line represents text thread In port Out port indicates overset text Text threads specified to show the flow of text from the first text frame to the fourth text frame Text thread from previous page Text thread from first text frame to second text frame on page 4 LESSON 5 What You’ll Do INDESIGN 3-42 Setting up a Document Modifying Master Page Items on Document Pages Master pages are designed to allow you to lay out the basic elements for a page that will be used repeatedly throughout a docu- ment. In most cases, however, you will want to make modifications to the document page once it is created—you will even want to modify some objects on the document page that were created on the master page. When you apply a master page to a docu- ment page, you may be surprised to find that you can’t select the objects that were created on the master page. Once a master page is applied to a document page, you can select the master page items on the document page by pressing and hold- ing [Shift][Ctrl] (Win) or [Shift] (Mac). Once selected, you can modify those objects any way that you desire. Making changes to a document page is often referred to as making a local change. Once you modify an object on a document page, that change will remain in effect, regardless of what you do on the master page. Modifying Master Pages When you modify an element of a master page, that modification, in theory, will be reflected on all the document pages that are based on that master page. This can be a very powerful option. Let’s say that you have created a layout for a 36-page book, and you decide that you want to change the typeface of all the headlines. If they were created on master pages, you could simply reformat the headline in the text frame placeholders on the master pages, and those modifications would be updated on every document page in the book based on those master pages. As a rule of thumb, remember that modifi- cations you make to a master page will be reflected only if you haven’t modified those elements on a document page; it won’t overwrite your local changes. That’s good, but it also means that the more changes you make locally, the fewer options you have for modifying master pages to make global changes throughout the document. In this lesson, you will make modifications to both master pages and document pages and explore how each affects the other. ▼ MODIFY MASTER PAGES AND DOCUMENT PAGES Modify master page items on a document page 1. Double-click the page 1 icon in the Pages palette, click the Selection Tool , press and hold [Shift][Ctrl] (Win) or [Shift] (Mac), then click the Chapter X text frame. 2. Click the Type Tool , select all the text in the box, type Preface, then click the paste- board to deselect. 3. Press and hold [Shift][Ctrl] (Win) or [Shift] (Mac), click the horizontal text frame, click the text four times to select all of it, type Introducing the Miniature Pinscher, then click the pasteboard to deselect so that your page resembles Figure 63. 4. Click the Selection Tool , then click the “Preface” text frame. Since this is the second time you are select- ing the placeholder text frame, it can now be selected the normal way. 5. Double-click the page 5 icon in the Pages palette, press and hold [Shift][Ctrl] (Win) or [Shift] (Mac), click the Chapter X text frame, click the Type Tool , then change the letter X to 1. 6. Change the title on page 5 to read Feeding the Miniature Pinscher. TIP Use a soft return so that “Miniature Pinscher” is on one line. Your document window should resemble Figure 64. You modified document pages by editing the text within text frames that were created from place- holders on master pages.

Click View on the menu bar, point to Grids & Guides, click Show Guides, then double- click A-Chapter Right Page in the Pages palette. 2. Click the Selection Tool (if necessary), then click the Chapter X placeholder frame. 3. Click the center reference point on the proxy in the Transform palette, double-click the Rotation Angle text box, type 90, then press [Enter](Win) or [return](Mac). 4. Double-click the X Location text box in the Transform palette, type 1.75, then press [Enter] (Win) or [return] (Mac). 5. Double-click the page 1 icon in the Pages palette, then note how the changes made to the A-Chapter Right Page master are reflected on the document page. As shown in Figure 65, both the rotation and the relocation of the text frame on the A-Chapter Right Page master are reflected on the document page. 6. View pages 5 and 9 to see the same changes. 7. Double-click A-Chapter Right Page in the Pages palette, click the Chapter X text frame, click the Align left button in the Paragraph palette, click the horizontal title text frame, then click the Align center button so that your master page resem- bles Figure 66. (continued) FIGURE 65 Viewing changes to page 1 FIGURE 66 Viewing text alignment changes to the A-Chapter Right Page master Lesson 5 Modify Master Pages and Document Pages INDESIGN 3-45 8. View pages 1 and 5. Because you have modified the chapter text and the title text on pages 1 and 5, formatting changes to the master have not affected the local formatting. 9. View page 9. As shown in Figure 67, because you did not modify any text formatting on page 9, the formatting changes you made to the master are reflected on page 9. 10.Double-click B-Body Copy with Pics in the Pages palette, then change the typeface for the automatic page numbering text place- holders on both the left and right page to Garamond or a similar font. TIP Footer is a term given to information at the bottom of every document page, such as the page number or the date. 11.Double-click C-Copy No Pics in the Pages palette. The footers on both the left and right pages of the C-Copy No Pics master are Garamond because C-Copy No Pics is based on B-Body Copy with Pics. You modified elements on a master page, then noted which modifications affected corresponding elements on document pages. Next, you modified text on the B-Body Copy with Pics master, and then noted that the C-Copy No Pics master was automatically updated with the modification. FIGURE 67 Viewing changes to page 9 Changes updated from master to document page LESSON 6 What You’ll Do INDESIGN 3-46 Setting up a Document Creating Sections in a Document Sections are pages in a document where page numbering changes. For example, sometimes in the front pages of a book, in the introduction or the preface, the pages will be numbered with lowercase Roman numerals, then normal page numbering will begin with the first chapter. You can create as many sections in a docu- ment as you wish. You determine the page on which the new section will start by click- ing that page icon in the Pages palette. Choose the Numbering & Section Options command in the Pages palette menu, which opens the New Section dialog box, as shown in Figure 68. In this example, we clicked page 8 in the Pages palette, then opened the New Section dialog box. We then specified that the new section begin with a page numbered 1. QUICKTIP The first time you choose a type of page numbering for a document, the Numbering & Section Options dialog box opens instead of the New Section dialog box. In this lesson, you will create two different numbering sections and create two text wraps around graphics frames. ▼ FIGURE 68 New Section dialog box New section will begin by listing this number—in the style specified below—as the page number on the document page Style CREATE NEW SECTIONS AND WRAP TEXT Lesson 6 Create New Sections and Wrap Text INDESIGN 3-47 Wrapping Text Around a Frame When you position a text frame or a graph- ics frame near another frame that contains text, you can apply a text wrap to the over- lapping frame in order to force the underly- ing text to wrap around it. InDesign offers many options for wrapping text around a frame. One quick method is to click the Wrap around bounding box button in the Text Wrap palette, as shown in Figure 69. Figure 70 shows a rectangular frame using the No text wrap option in the Text Wrap palette. Figure 71 shows that same frame using the Wrap around bounding box option in the Text Wrap palette. When you choose the Wrap around bound- ing box option, you can control the offset—the distance that text is repelled by the frame—by entering values in the Top, Bottom, Left, and Right Offset text boxes in the palette. Figure 72 shows the frame with a .125-inch offset applied to all four sides of the frame.
