Book II Chapter 5 Understanding Page Layout 161 Merging Text and Graphics Figure 5-6: You can wrap text around images in InDesign in several ways. (a) No text wrap (b) Wrap around bounding box (c) Wrap around object shape (d) Jump object (e) Jump to next column ✦ Top Offset: Enter a value for the top offset modifier to offset the text wrapping around the object. ✦ Jump Object: Make the text wrapping around the image jump from above the image to below it, with no text wrapping to the left or right of the object in the column. ✦ Jump to Next Column: Make text end above the image and then jump to the next column. No text is wrapped to the left or right of the image. ✦ Offset: Enter offset values for text wrapping on all sides of the object. To add text wrapping to an object (a drawing or an image), follow these steps: 1. Create a text frame on the page. Add text to the text frame by typing text, pasting text from elsewhere, or filling the frame with placeholder text. This text wraps around the image, so make sure that the text frame is slightly larger than the graphic frame you’ll use. 18_607466-bk02ch05.indd 16118_607466-bk02ch05.indd 161 5/24/10 11:47 PM5/24/10 11:47 PM 162 Merging Text and Graphics 2. Use the Selection tool to select a graphic frame on the page and move it over the text frame. Bounding box handles appear around the edges of the image or graphic. 3. Choose Window➪Text Wrap to open the Text Wrap panel. The Text Wrap panel opens. 4. With the graphic frame still selected, click the Wrap around Object Shape button. The text wraps around the image instead of hiding behind it. 5. If you’re working with an image that has a transparent background, choose Detect Edges or Alpha Channel from the Contour Options drop-down list. The text wraps around the edges of the image — refer to the (c) Wrap around Object Shape example in Figure 5-6. Modifying a text wrap If you’ve applied a text wrap around an object (as we show you how to do in the preceding section), you can then modify that text wrap. If you have an image with a transparent background around which you’ve wrapped text, InDesign created a path around the edge of the image; if you have a shape you created with the drawing tools, InDesign automatically uses those paths to wrap text around. Before proceeding with the following steps, be sure that the object uses the Wrap around Object Shape text wrap. (If not, open the Text Wrap panel and click the Wrap around Object Shape button to apply text wrapping.) Remember to choose Detect Edges if you’re using an image with a transpar- ent background. To modify the path around an image with text wrapping, using the Direct Selection tool, follow these steps: 1. Select the object by using the Direct Selection tool. The image is selected and you can see the path around the object. 2. Drag one of the anchor points on the path by using the Direct Selection tool. The path is modified according to how you move the point. (For more about manipulating paths, take a look at Chapter 4 of this minibook.) The text wrapping immediately changes, based on the modifications you make to the path around the object. 18_607466-bk02ch05.indd 16218_607466-bk02ch05.indd 162 5/24/10 11:47 PM5/24/10 11:47 PM Book II Chapter 5 Understanding Page Layout 163 Working with Pages and the Pages Panel 3. Select the Delete Anchor Point tool from the Tools panel and delete an anchor point. The path changes again, and the text wrapping modifies around the object accordingly. You can also use the Offset values in the Text Wrap panel to determine the distance between the wrapping text and the edge of the object. Just increase the values to move the text farther from the object’s edge. Working with Pages and the Pages Panel The page is the central part of any publication — it’s where the visible part of your publication is created. Navigating and controlling pages is a large part of what you do in InDesign. The Pages panel allows you to select, move, and navigate pages in a publication. When you use default settings, pages are created as facing pages, which means that they’re laid out as two-page spreads. Otherwise, pages are laid out individually. This option is reflected in, and can be changed in, the Pages panel. The Pages panel, which you open by choosing Window➪Pages, also lets you add new pages to the document, duplicate pages, delete a page, or change the size of a page. The pages panel, shown in Figure 5-7, contains two main areas: the master pages (upper) section and the (lower) section containing the document’s pages. To discover more about master pages and how they differ from regular pages in your document, see the “Using Master Spreads in Page Layout” sec- tion, later in this chapter. Selecting and moving pages Use the Pages panel to select a page or spread in your publication. Select a page by clicking the page. If you Ctrl-click (Windows) or Ô-click (Mac) pages, you can select more than one page at a time. The Pages panel also lets you move pages to a new position in the document: Select a page in the docu- ment pages area of the panel and then drag it wherever you want to move the page. A small line and changed cursor indicate where the page will be moved. You can move a page so that it’s between two pages in a spread; a hollow line indicates where you’re moving the page. If you move a page after a spread, a solid line appears. Release the mouse button to move the page to the new location. 18_607466-bk02ch05.indd 16318_607466-bk02ch05.indd 163 5/24/10 11:47 PM5/24/10 11:47 PM 164 Working with Pages and the Pages Panel Figure 5-7: The Pages panel with page previews. Master pages Edit Page Size Create New Page Delete Selected PagesDocument pages Adding and deleting pages You can also add new pages to the publication by using the Pages panel. To add a new page, follow these steps: 1. Choose Window➪Pages to open the Pages panel. The Pages panel opens. 2. Click the Create New Page button. A new page is added to the document. Alt-click (Windows) or Options-click (Mac OS) the Create New Page button and you can then specify the exact number of pages to add and the location of these new pages. 3. Select a page in the Pages panel. The selected page is highlighted in the Pages panel. 4. Click the Create New Page button again. A new page is added following the selected page. 18_607466-bk02ch05.indd 16418_607466-bk02ch05.indd 164 5/24/10 11:47 PM5/24/10 11:47 PM Book II Chapter 5 Understanding Page Layout 165 Using Master Spreads in Page Layout To delete a page, select it in the Pages panel and click the Delete Selected Pages button. The selected page is removed from the document. You can also add, delete, and move pages and more without the Pages panel by choosing Layout➪Pages. Numbering your pages When you’re working with longer documents, adding page numbers before you print or export the publication is a good idea. You don’t have to add them manually: A special InDesign tool lets you number pages automatically. This tool is particularly useful when you move pages around the document. You don’t have to keep track of updating the numbering when you make these kinds of edits. To number pages, follow these steps: 1. Using the Type tool, create a text frame on the page where you want the page number to be added. 2. Choose Type➪Insert Special Character➪Markers➪Current Page Number. The current page number appears in the text frame you selected. If you added the page number to a master page, the master pages’ letter appears in the field instead. If you want page numbers to appear on all pages in the document, add the text frame to a master page. Remember that page numbers are added only to the pages in your document that are associated with that master page. If you want to add page numbers to the left and right sides of a book or maga- zine, you need to repeat this process on the left and right sides of the master pages. Remember that if you add the page only on a document page — and not on a master — the page number is added to only that single page. To modify automatic-numbering settings, choose Layout➪Numbering and Section Options. You can choose to have numbering start from a specific number or use a different style, such as Roman numerals. Using Master Spreads in Page Layout Master pages are a lot like templates you use to format page layouts. The settings, such as margins and columns, are applied to each layout that the master page is applied to. If you put a page number on a master page, the number also appears on every page that uses the layout. You can have more than one master page in a single publication, and you can choose which pages use a particular master page. 18_607466-bk02ch05.indd 16518_607466-bk02ch05.indd 165 5/24/10 11:47 PM5/24/10 11:47 PM 166 Using Master Spreads in Page Layout A master page or spread typically contains parts of a layout that are applied to many pages. The master page has elements that are used on many pages, such as page numbering, text frames to enter text into, background images, or a heading that’s used on every page. You can’t edit the items you have on a master page on the pages assigned to it — you can edit those items only on the master page. Master pages are lettered. The first master page is the A-Master by default. If you create a second master page, it’s the B-Master by default. When you create a new publication, the A-Master is applied to all pages you initially open in the document. You can add pages at the end that don’t have a master page applied to them. Creating master pages and applying them to your publication enables you to create a reusable format for it, which can dramatically speed your workflow when you put together documents with InDesign. Creating a master spread You may need more than one master page or master spread for a document. You may have another series of pages that need a unique format. In this situation, you need to create a second master page. You can create a master page or a master spread from any other page in the publication, or you can create a new one with the Pages panel. To create a master page using a page in the publication, do one of the following: ✦ Choose New Master from the Page panel’s menu and then click OK. A blank master page is created. ✦ Drag a page from the pages section of the panel into the master page section of the Pages panel. The document page turns into a master page. If the page you’re trying to drag into the master pages section is part of a spread, select both pages in the spread before you drag it into the master pages section. You can drag individual pages into the master page section only if they’re not part of a spread. Applying, removing, and deleting master pages After you create a master page, you can apply it to a page. You can also remove a page from a master page layout and delete a master page altogether: ✦ To add master page formatting to a page or spread in a publication: In the Pages panel, drag the master page you want to use from the master page section on top of the page you want to format in the document pages section. When you drag the master page on top of the page, it has a thick outline around it. Release the mouse button when you see this outline, and the formatting is applied to the page. 18_607466-bk02ch05.indd 16618_607466-bk02ch05.indd 166 5/24/10 11:47 PM5/24/10 11:47 PM Book II Chapter 5 Understanding Page Layout 167 Using Master Spreads in Page Layout ✦ To remove any master page applied to a document page: In the Pages panel, drag the None page from the master area in the Pages panel to that document page. You may need to use the scroll bar in the master pages area of the Pages panel to find the None page. ✦ To delete a master page: In the Pages panel, select the unwanted master page and then choose Delete Master Spread from the panel menu. This action permanently deletes the master page — you can’t get it back — so think carefully before deleting a master page. Changing individual page sizes Using the Pages panel, you can change the size of individual pages in a docu- ment, which is useful if you have one page that folds out and is larger than others. Or, maybe you want to create a single document that includes a busi- ness card, an envelope, and a letterhead. To change the size of individual pages using the Pages panel, follow these steps: 1. In the Pages panel, click to select the page you want to modify. 2. Click the Edit Page Size button at the bottom of the Pages panel and select the new size. 3. Repeat the process to adjust the size for any pages you want to modify. When you’re done editing the size of the pages, continue to work on their design and layout like you would work on any other pages. The only difference is that some pages in your document may be a different size. 18_607466-bk02ch05.indd 16718_607466-bk02ch05.indd 167 5/24/10 11:47 PM5/24/10 11:47 PM 168 Book II: InDesign CS5 18_607466-bk02ch05.indd 16818_607466-bk02ch05.indd 168 5/24/10 11:47 PM5/24/10 11:47 PM Chapter 6: Clipping Paths, Alignment, and Object Transformation In This Chapter ✓ Transforming objects with the Transform panel ✓ Transforming objects with the Free Transform tool ✓ Rotating and scaling objects ✓ Shearing and reflecting objects ✓ Adding a clipping path ✓ Aligning and distributing objects in a layout I n this chapter, you discover several different ways to manipulate and arrange objects on a page. You find out how to use the Transform panel and other tools in the Tools panel to transform objects on page layouts. You can make the same transformation in many different ways in InDesign, so for each way you can transform an object, we show you a couple different ways to do the same job. Aligning and distributing objects and images helps you organize elements logically on a page. In this chapter, you find out how to align objects by using the Align panel. In Chapter 5 of this minibook, we touch on vector paths. This chapter provides more information about clipping paths. We show you how to create a new path to use as a clipping path for an image in your document. Working with Transformations Chapter 4 of this minibook shows you how to transform graphic objects by skewing them. You can manipulate objects in InDesign in many other ways. You can transform an object by selecting an individual object and choosing Object➪Transform, by using the Transform panel (choose Window➪Object & Layout➪Transform), or by using the Free Transform tool to visually adjust objects. 19_607466-bk02ch06.indd 16919_607466-bk02ch06.indd 169 5/24/10 11:48 PM5/24/10 11:48 PM 170 Working with Transformations Looking at the Transform panel The Transform panel, shown in Figure 6-1, is extremely useful for changing the way an image or graphic looks and also for changing the scale, rotation, or skew of selected objects. You can choose from a range of values for some of these modifiers or manually set your own by typing them. Figure 6-1: The Transform panel makes it easy to resize, rotate, and reposition selected objects. Reference point indicator Panel menu Rotating angle Constrain proportions Shear X angle Scale Y Percentage Scale X Percentage The Transform panel offers the following information and functionality: ✦ Reference point: Indicates which handle is the reference for any trans- formations you make. For example, if you reset the X and Y coordinates, the reference point is set to this position. In Figure 6-1, the reference point is in the center, as indicated by the solid square. ✦ Position: Change these values to reset the X and Y coordinate position of the selected object. ✦ Size: The W and H text fields are used to change the current dimensions of the object. ✦ Scale: Enter or choose a percentage from the Scale X Percentage and Scale Y Percentage drop-down lists to scale (resize) the object on either of these axes. ✦ Constraining proportions: Click the Constrain Proportions button to maintain the current proportions of the object being scaled. ✦ Shearing: Enter or choose a negative or positive number to modify the shearing angle (skew) of the selected object. ✦ Rotation angle: Set a negative value to rotate the object clockwise; a positive value rotates the object counterclockwise. 19_607466-bk02ch06.indd 17019_607466-bk02ch06.indd 170 5/24/10 11:48 PM5/24/10 11:48 PM [...]... dialog box Book II Chapter 7 190 Book II: InDesign CS5 Chapter 8: Integrating InDesign with Other Creative Suite Applications In This Chapter ✓ Creating interactive PDF files for Acrobat ✓ Creating multimedia Flash files ✓ Working with Illustrator and Photoshop files in InDesign ✓ Using InDesign to create Web pages for Dreamweaver T he Adobe Creative Suite and InDesign offer you many ways to create projects... can open dialog boxes for each kind of transformation by choosing Object➪Transform These dialog boxes have similar functionality to the Transform panel The multipurpose Free Transform tool lets you transform objects in different ways Using the Free Transform tool, you can move, rotate, shear, reflect, and scale objects The functions of the Free Transform Tool are represented in InDesign by different... of software Because the Adobe software products are built as a suite, the products work together Creating Interactive PDF Files Using InDesign You can import PDF files into an InDesign layout as well as you can export InDesign files to PDF format After exporting to PDF, you can manipulate these files using Adobe Acrobat (as described in Book V) or add certain features using InDesign, such as multimedia... directly into InDesign InDesign provides you with additional control over the designs after an image is imported into a layout Using InDesign, you can import a layered Photoshop file, turn layers on and off, or even layer comps to be placed Follow these steps: 1 Have a layered Photoshop file ready to place Integrating InDesign with Other Creative Suite Applications To export your InDesign document... attributes within InDesign InDesign is a helpful tool for designing and creating PDF documents With InDesign, you can add features and interactivity to a PDF by setting up page transitions and adding these elements: ✦ Clickable elements, such as hyperlinks and bookmarks ✦ Links that perform actions ✦ Movies such as Flash SWF files or WMV and sound files 192 Creating Interactive PDF Files Using InDesign Creating... selected object 2 If the Transform panel isn’t open, choose Window➪Object & Layout➪ Transform The Transform panel appears 3 Select a value from the Rotation Angle drop-down list or click the text field and enter a percentage Scaling objects You can scale objects by using the Transform panel (refer to Figure 6-1), the Scale tool, or the Free Transform tool Use the Transform panel to set exact width...Working with Transformations 171 When you’re scaling, shearing, or rotating an object in your layout, it transforms based on the reference point in the Transform panel For example, when you rotate an object, InDesign considers the reference point to be the center point of the rotation Click a new reference point square in the Transform panel to change the reference point of... 194 Creating Multimedia Flash Files from InDesign The Place cursor appears after you select a file to import into the document Click where you want the upper left corner to be located on the page 4 Using the Pages panel, add at least two more pages For information about using the Pages panel, see Chapter 5 in this minibook 5 Add some content to the other pages For example, add text, images, or more interactive... range of pages Click the Assign button to assign the preset before clicking the Done button You have other ways to apply trapping to a document manually This process goes beyond the scope of this book but is worthwhile to look into if you want to fully realize what trapping is all about See InDesign CS5 Bible by Galen Gruman (Wiley) for more information on trapping Taking your files to a service provider... steps: 196 Integrating InDesign with Photoshop 2 Using InDesign, choose File➪Place 3 Browse to the location of a layered image file, select the file you want to import, select the Show Import Options check box, and then click Open A dialog box similar to the one shown in Figure 8 -3 appears Figure 8 -3: Choose which Photoshop layers you want to use when placing a PSD file into your InDesign layout 4 Click . size. 18_607466-bk02ch 05. indd 16718_607466-bk02ch 05. indd 167 5/ 24/10 11:47 PM5/24/10 11:47 PM 168 Book II: InDesign CS5 18_607466-bk02ch 05. indd 16818_607466-bk02ch 05. indd 168 5/ 24/10 11:47 PM5/24/10 11:47. the new location. 18_607466-bk02ch 05. indd 1 631 8_607466-bk02ch 05. indd 1 63 5/ 24/10 11:47 PM5/24/10 11:47 PM 164 Working with Pages and the Pages Panel Figure 5- 7: The Pages panel with page. object. 18_607466-bk02ch 05. indd 16218_607466-bk02ch 05. indd 162 5/ 24/10 11:47 PM5/24/10 11:47 PM Book II Chapter 5 Understanding Page Layout 1 63 Working with Pages and the Pages Panel 3.
