In the case of InDesign CS5 — the eighth version of the leading desk- top publishing program — Adobe came up with two directions for major improvement. One is reworking the selection and object-manipulation tools to make them more straightforward to use while also more flexible and powerful. Such changes are felt in many places, from the Layers and Links panels to the basic Selection and Direct Selection tools, as well as in the controls over frame fitting, object styles, step-and-repeat, page controls, and in the new multiple-page-size, text column-spanning, and Gap tool features. The other major change is moving InDesign further into the realm of nonprint publishing, in this edition through the addition of major new animation capabilities that let you create interactive Adobe SWF files from InDesign. Plus there are a raft of improvements relating to hyperlinks, inter- active buttons, use of media files such as video and sounds, and PDF file creation. If you don’t work on nonprint documents, I think you’ll find the selection and object-manipulation changes more than sufficient reason to move to InDesign CS5. But I also urge you to become famil- iar with the creation of nonprint documents — in this electronic world, information will be pub- lished in all sorts of ways, and sticking with just one medium is a path to obsolescence. That’s why this book gives more weight to nonprint document tools than past editions have, and why InDesign’s designers are steadily adding such capabilities. Use them. These two major movements (improving object manipulation and delving further into the nonprint publishing) have led to dozens of functionality additions and capability improvements (check out Appendix B for the whole list) that are well designed and manage not to get in the way of all the other features you know and love — a real challenge for a program as complex and feature-rich as InDesign. But of course, there are lots of other refinements in InDesign CS5 that Adobe’s engineers and designers were able to add in beyond the major new areas of improvement. For example, Windows 7 users will now find that InDesign supports the gestures enabled by the new genera- tion of touchscreen PCs (Mac users got this capability in InDesign CS4). InDesign users can now work with tracked changes in their layouts, no longer seeing this ability limited to InCopy users. And plug-ins, renamed extensions, are now managed across all Creative Suite applications with a common tool, the Extension Manager. These three examples show the range of areas where Adobe has made improvements. Layout artists have an incredibly powerful tool in the form of InDesign to let them deliver on their creative aspirations and vision. I hope that this book helps you achieve and indeed increase those ambitions. 02_607169-fpref.indd vii02_607169-fpref.indd vii 4/22/10 7:37 PM4/22/10 7:37 PM 02_607169-fpref.indd viii02_607169-fpref.indd viii 4/22/10 7:37 PM4/22/10 7:37 PM [...]... 10 7 Part II: Document Fundamentals 10 9 Chapter 4: Creating, Opening, and Saving Documents . . . . . . . . . . . . 11 1 Taking Stock before You Begin 11 1 Setting Up a New Publication 11 2 Creating new documents 11 3 Creating your own document types .11 6 Opening Documents and Templates 11 7 Opening documents versus opening templates 12 0 Working... 10 Scroll bars 11 Pasteboard, pages, and guides 12 Page controls .12 Reveal pop-up menu 13 Application frame 13 Application bar 13 Using Tools 14 Selecting tools 15 Understanding what the tools do .16 Selection tool 16 Direct Selection tool 17 Page tool...
