You can also change the measuring system used by your rulers by selecting
Edit>Preferences>Units.
1. On the Toolbox, select the Rectangle tool. Drag the mouse over the page and notice that
guides on the rulers indicate the cursor’s position on the page.
With the guides both touching the 30mm marks on the ruler,
click and drag to create a frame of any size.
2. On the Toolbox, click the Selection tool. Click on the new frame
to select it. Drag an edge of the frame around and notice how
guides on the rulers continue to indicate the frame’s position.
Release the mouse button when the guides are both touching
the 60mm marks on the ruler. The frame is now 60mm from the
top of the page and 60mm from the left. Create and select other
objects to practice aligning them with the rulers.
3. By default, zero points on the ruler intersect at the top left corner of each page. You can
change the zero point to position objects in relation to the margins
or other objects on the page. To do this, click the zero point (the
intersecting lines in the upper left corner) and drag it to another location
on the page. Use the tick marks on the ruler as a reference or the X and
Y fields on the Transform pane. When you release the mouse button,
notice the new zero points on the horizontal and vertical rulers.
4. To restore the zero point to the top left corner of the page, double-click the zero point.
Objects on the page will not move, but their X and Y values will change.
5. InDesign lets you lock the zero point of the ruler so it cannot
be changed inadvertently. You might also wish to lock the zero
point in templates or shared documents with others to ensure that
other users are not randomly changing the zero point. To lock it,
Right+click the zero point to display a menu. Choose Lock Zero
Point from the menu. If you need to unlock it, display the menu
again and choose Unlock Zero Point.

1. Drawing a line:- Move the mouse pointer over the Line tool and single-click to select it.
(you can point at each tool to learn its
name.) If the Line tool is not selected,
you can press the \ shortcut. Click and
drag in any direction to create a line;
release the mouse button to complete
it. The X, Y, W, and H fields in the
Transform pane (Window menu) show
the position of the line’s bounding
box and the length of the line. Note:
To constrain the Line tool to creating
straight, vertical, or 45o lines, press Shift
while you click and drag.
To move your line you can just move the
mouse pointer over the Direct Selection
tool and single-click to select it. You can
also press A. Click on a line to select it,
then drag it in any direction.
Resizing a line is accomplished with the Selection tool (V). This tool lets you reshape and
resize objects. Click on a line to select it; small boxes called handles display at the sides and
corners of the line’s bounding box. Pull on a handle to resize
the line; pull up or down to change the angle of the line.
3. Changing the shape of your polygon:- From the Rectangle tool or the Rectangle
Frame tool pop-outs, select a polygon
tool (the six-sided shape). When the tool
is showing in the Toolbox, double-click
it to display the Polygon Settings dialog
box. Enter a value in the Number of Sides
field to specify how many edges the frame
should have. If you’re creating a star shape,
type a value in the Star Inset field to specify
the depth of the inner parts of the star (50%
is a good starting place, higher values
create pointier stars). Click OK.
Once you’ve specified Polygon Settings,
click and drag a polygon tool to create
a frame. Press the Shift key to constrain
the polygon’s bounding box to a square,
creating a perfectly symmetrical polygon.
4. Stroking your frame:- Using the Selection tool or the Direct Selection tool
(one of the two arrow tools at the top of the Toolbox), click on any frame to
select it. To create a border on the selected frame, use the Stroke pane. Choose
Window>Stroke. To expand the pane to show
the full formatting options, you may need to
choose Show Options from the Stroke pane’s
palette menu.
To specify the thickness of the stroke, enter a
value between 0 and 800 pt., then press Enter.
You can also choose a value from the field’s
menu or click the arrows on the field. Note that a
stroke thinner than .25 point may not be visible
in print. From the Type menu in the Stroke pane,
choose an option for the line style. You can
choose from a range of stroke types.
Use the Cap buttons to customize the ends of
each dash segment. Click Butt for square ends,
Round for semicircular ends that extend into the
gap area, and Projecting for ends that extend into
the gap area.

You can input this textbox a couple of ways: you can use the frame drawing tool (with a X in
it), or even the rectangle tool from the toolbox, or you can "draw" a textbox using the T Tool
itself. One of the advantages of using the frame drawing tool is that you can then have your text
conform to the shape of the box — circles, polygons, etc, and the stroke is set to zero.
1. Using one of the box drawing tools:- select the rectangular box drawing tool with a X in it
(if you hold on the tool for a few seconds you will be shown a "flyout" selection from which
to choose. Move onto your page and draw a rectangle which is 100mm square — it doesn't
matter where it is positioned on the page.
3. Once your cursor is over the text box you can single
click your T Tool icon and then start typing. Try
inputting some text, it doesn't matter what it says.
The inputting of text is very similar to using a simple
word processing software.
• you let the computer control where the line breaks are — DON'T press the Enter Key at the
end of each line, only at the end of paragraphs.
• mistakes are fixed by clicking on the position of the error then either deleting the
"offending" letters, or simply typing in the new letters.
1. Using your T Tool to create a text box:- InDesign is unique in that you can use the typing
tool to create the actual area in which the text is to be input. It is exactly the same as drawing
a box, only you use the T Tool.
2. Select the T Tool, then move out onto your page and draw a box which is also 100mm
square. Again, it doesn't matter where it is placed (as long as it is not on top of the first box
you drew. When you finish the box your text icon will start flashing at the top of the box,
and you are ready to start typing. Again, just type in some text so you can see how the words
"wrap" at the end of the box and start a new line automatically.
All of these features are applied to the text only after it has been selected by the T Tool. To
select the text this way you need to move your T Tool cursor over the text, then press your
mouse button, hold it down, and then sweep either left or right to select (your text will show that
is selected when it turns into a black background with white type). If you are selecting a whole
line of text, you will have to start at either the beginning or end of the line, and then "sweep"
from there.
1. Using either method, draw a text box which is 75mm wide by 50mm
deep. Then move into this box and type the words (Hunter Institute of
Technology).
2. Now use your T Tool icon to click at either the start or end of the words,
click and hold your mouse button, then sweep across all the text. If your
words move from selected to unselected, it is usually because you are not
sweeping across in a straight line.
3. To change the typography you will need to use the Character palette open
on your screen. If it is not showing move to Window>Type>Character.
You now have a range of options available to you, including the more
common options, to more advanced options. These advanced options will
be addressed in later exercises.
5. Now move to the Paragraph tab at the top of the palette and select the
centred option.

Once you have your text into the frame you have a number of options that can be used to
position that text inside the frame. You can have the text align to the Top, Middle or Bottom
of the frame, as well as create columns, and move the Baseline of the text relative to the frame
itself.
3. The next part of the dialog box allows you to put in a specific "stand off" which your would
like your text to have from specific edges of the text frame .
4. The next area relates to how you want the baseline of your first line of text to be positioned.
The options include Ascent, Cap Height, Leading, X height and Fixed.
5. The bottom area allows you to position the lines within the frame at the Top, Middle,
Bottom, or (if 2 or more lines) to Justify right from top to bottom.
6. Down the bottom left of the dialog box is an Ignore Text Wrap tick box, this will be useful
during later exercises when we move on to shape wrapping text around objects.

Using the spellchecker, plus Text Frame Options and Inset Spacing to
have the heading aligned in the centre of its box.
Text set in caps and lowercase, roman style, is much easier to read
that large blocks of capital letters. And masses of italic setting
makes the capitals even harder to read.
When using Step and Repeat you don’t have to first copy the object as it is only the currently
active object or text which is used.
You just have to select the object and
click Edit>Step and Repeat, and once
this dialog box opens you are given
options about the number of objects
you want to create, how far each
object is to move vertically, and how
far each object is to move horizontally.
To duplicate an object:
• Select the object, and choose Edit >Duplicate. You can also use Alt/Drag to create a
copy.
2. For Repeat Count, specify how many duplicates you want to make, not counting the
original.
3. For Horizontal Offset and Vertical Offset, specify how far to shift the position of each
new duplicate from the previous duplicate along the x and y axes respectively, and
click OK.
To create a page full of duplicates, first use Step and Repeat with Vertical Offset set to 0 (zero)
and the appropriate Horizontal Offset — this will create one row of duplicates. Then select the
entire row and use Step and Repeat with Horizontal Offset set to 0 and the appropriate Vertical
Offset — this will repeat the row down the page.

Unlike text, you don't really need a box drawn first, because when you place the graphic and
click your mouse, the graphic creates its own box to the actual size of the graphic itself. You can
then rezise this box, but to rezise your graphic to fit into the newly sized box, you need to follow
a few simple commands.
1. Drawing a graphic frame:- Move the pointer over the Rectangle Frame
tool in the Toolbox and single-click the mouse button. If the tool is not
selected, you can press F to select the Rectangle Frame tool.
Click anywhere on the page, then drag down and to the right. Release the
mouse button to create the graphic frame. To create a perfect square, press
the Shift key while you click and drag. Note: A large X displays inside
graphic frames, making them easy to recognise.
2. Click and hold on the Rectangle Frame tool to view more graphic frame
tools. To select the Ellipse Frame tool, slide the mouse to the right and
release the mouse button over the circle with the X in it. Click and drag
to create an additional graphic frame. To create a perfect circle, press the
Shift key while you click and drag.
7. Replacing an existing graphic:- If you import a graphic into a frame that already
contains another graphic, that graphic is replaced. Use the Selection tool to select a frame
containing a graphic. Choose File>Place, select another graphic file, then click Open. If you
accidentally have a frame active when you place a graphic, you can simply
select Edit>Undo (shortcut Ctrl/Z, and the graphic will be withrawn from
the frame and you will be shown the "loaded graphic icon". Now simply
click and the graphic will appear inside a new frame.
8. Scaling graphics:- When you import a graphic into an existing frame, it’s rare that the
graphic fits it perfectly. Plus, the graphic is placed in the
upper left corner and scaled at 100%, neither of which may
work for the size and shape of the selected frame. InDesign
provides an easy method for matching the graphic to the
frame. Click on a graphic with the Selection or Direct
Selection tool, then choose Object>Fitting. Choose an option,
such as Fit Content Proportionally, from the submenu. (The
“content” is the graphic.)
10. Rotating graphics:- When the Direct Selection tool is in use, you can rotate a graphic
within its frame from 0 to 360 degrees. To do this, click on a graphic frame containing a
graphic and locate the Rotation angle field on the Transform pane. Change the value in the
field, then press Enter. The rotation value may cause the graphic to be positioned outside
the boundaries of the frame, so you may need to drag it back into sight.

Repeating tabs
The Repeat Tab command creates
multiple tabs based on the distance
between the tab and the left indent
or the previous tab stop.
To repeat a tab you simply have to
select a tab on the tab ruler. Then choose Repeat Tab in the Tabs palette menu.
Setting up leaders
A tab leader is a repeated pattern of characters, such as a series of dots or dashes, between a tab
and the following text. To add a tab leader to a tab:
• In the Tabs palette, select a tab on the tab ruler. Leader.................................. 1
• Type a pattern of as many as eight characters in Leader***************** 2
the Leader box, and then press Enter or Return. Leader:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: 3
lnDesign repeats the characters you entered Leader$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ 4
across the width of the tab.
• To change the font or other formatting of the tab leader, select the tab character in the
text frame, and use the Character palette or Type menu to apply formatting.

When creating and applying colours within a document, it’s always best to know the printing
requirements for that particular job. Costly mistakes are made when desktop publishers create
process (cmyk) colours for a spot-colour printed document or create a spot colour within a job
intended to be printed using the process colours.
5. Add the following colours to the Swatches palette using the “Add” button until the last
colour when you should use the OK button.
Green: C = 51; M = 19; Y = 91; K = 12 Gold: C = 0; M = 31; Y = 81; K = 4
Orange: C = 0; M = 50; Y = 100; K = 0 Blue: C = 100; M = 80; Y = 5; K = 15
If you make a mistake with any of the colour values, or forget to type in the name before
clicking “Add” or “OK” - don’t panic. Double-click on the swatch, make the correction
or change then click OK.
Creating a Tint
As well as creating/adding colours, you can add tints to the Swatches palette. A tint is a screened
(lighter) version of a colour. Creating Swatch Tints in
InDesign is very helpful as it keeps the relationship
between the original, or parent, colour and its tint. This
means that, if you decide to change the parent colour,
the tint will automatically change to a lighter version
of the new parent colour. This reduces the time it takes
to change all objects with that lighter colour as well
as reducing the risk of errors occurring by missing an
object that needs changing.
2. Click one of the colours you have created in the Swatches palette, eg Purple.
1. Make sure no objects are selected when selecting New Gradient Swatches from the
Swatches palette menu.
2. Give the Swatch a name, ie Green/Gold Gradient. Select “Linear” for Gradient Type.
3. Click the left stop marker and select Swatches in the “Stop Colour” drop-down
menu. Scroll down through the colours until you reach the Green colour you created
earlier.
4. Click the right stop marker, ensure that the Stop Colour is “Swatches”, then scroll
down to the Gold colour your created earlier. If this is the only Gradient Swatch you
wish to created, then click OK. If you wish to create more Gradient Swatches, then
click Add – just like you did when you were creating more than one colour.
Experiment:
Use the above steps to create a “radial” gradient by selected “Radial” in Type drop-down menu.
Add extra “stops” to the Gradient Ramp by clicking on the bottom edge of the Ramp. Apply
different swatch colours to create gradients of more than two colours. Don’t forget to name them
in a way that you’ll know what it is when you look at the Swatches palette later.
To apply the gradient to the Fill of an object: As with applying colour to an object, there are
three simple steps to applying a gradient fill to an object.
3. Click and drag from the top left of the object diagonally to
the bottom right. Notice how the direction of the gradient has changed.
Experiment:
Try dragging the gradient tool from different areas across the object and note the different
effects.
Process colour is printed using a combination of four process printing inks, ie cyan, magenta,
yellow and black (cmyk). Process colour is used when a job requires so many colours that
making individual plates for each colour would make it cost-prohibitive, or when full-colour
graphics/photos need to be reproduced. There are certain considerations when ‘creating’ or
‘specifying’ process colours in a job and the following guidelines are worth remembering:
• For best results in the final printed product, specify process colours using CMYK values
printed in a process colour reference chart. These are often available for viewing at a
commercial printing house or available to purchase from a print supply company.
• Never specify a process colour by the way it looks on your monitor – unless you have paid
for a high quality monitor, keep it accurately calibrated, set up a colour management system
properly and understand its limitations for previewing colour.
• Never judge the accuracy of your specified colour by its representation on your desktop
output device. For colour proofing, always take your file to your commercial printer who
can run a 99.9% accurate colour proof for checking. This should always be the very last
step before allowing the job to be printed. All errors and adjustments should have been
made before final colour proofing.
Experiment:
Choose some spot colours from the Pantone Colour Matching swatch/chart and add them to
your Swatches palette.
Create some Tints and Gradients using the colours you have added to the Swatches palette.
Using the Rectangle/Ellipse/Polygon tools, create some shapes with strokes and apply colours to
the Strokes/Outlines and Fills.
Using the Text tool, create a ‘headline’ and experiment with different fills and fills and strokes to
see the effects you can make.

Styles can save time when you apply and revise text formatting, and they give your documents a
consistent look. When you change the formatting of a style, all text to which the style has been
applied will be updated with the new format.
To add a shortcut keystroke, make sure Num Lock is turned on in Windows. Then hold down
any combination of Shift and Ctrl, and press a number on the numeric keypad. You cannot use
letters or non-keypad numbers for defining style shortcuts.
On the left side of the dialog box, select the group of attributes you want to modify. Specify the
desired formatting attributes for your new style.
Click OK. The style name appears in the palette. Any changes you made to the formatting
options are applied to selected text.
By default, applying a style won’t remove any existing character and paragraph formatting
or character styles applied to the text, although you have the option of removing existing
formatting when you apply a style. A plus sign (+) appears next to the current style in the Styles
palette if the selected text uses a character or paragraph style and also uses additional formatting
that isn’t part of the applied style.
Note: After you apply a style to text, applying No Paragraph Style or No Character Style to the
text removes the style but leaves the formatting intact.
• Double-click the style name in the Styles palette. Note that this applies the style to any
selected text or text frame or, if no text or text frame is selected, sets the style as the default
style for any new text you type. If you don’t want the style to be applied to selected text,
hold down Shift+Ctrl when you double-click the style name.
• Select the style in the palette, and then choose Style Options in the Styles palette menu.
Adjust settings in the Modify Style Options dialog box, and then click OK.
When specifying a Character Color in the Modify Style Options dialog box, you can create a
new color by double-clicking the fill or stroke box.
The style you choose in the Next Style menu is only applied when you type text.
Note: If you select No Paragraph Style as the Next Style, the formatting of the style remains
intact when you press Enter or Return. To remove the style’s formatting, select the text, hold
down Alt and then click No Paragraph Style.
To set a style that will apply to the next paragraph you type:
• Double-click a style name in the Paragraph Styles palette.
• Choose a style in the Next Style menu, and then click OK.
• To remove the style but leave the formatting, click [No Character Style] or [No Paragraph
Style] in the Styles palette.
• To remove the style and whatever formatting was applied with the style, hold down Alt, and
then click [No Character Style] or [No Paragraph Style] in the Styles palette.
• Choose Load Character Styles or Load Paragraph Styles in the Styles palette menu.
• Choose Load All Styles in the Styles palette menu to load both character and paragraph
styles.
Double-click the InDesign document containing the styles you want to import.

You can apply object styles to objects, groups, and frames (including text frames). A style can
either clear and replace all object settings or it can replace only specific settings, leaving other
settings unchanged. You control which settings the style affects by including or excluding a
category of settings in the definition.
When creating styles, you might find that several styles share some of the same characteristics.
Rather than setting those characteristics each time you define the next style, you can base one
object style on another. When you change the base style, any shared attributes that appear in the
“parent” style change in the “child” style as well.
To have the style reset all attributes of an object or text frame, make sure that each category
is selected. If you want the style to apply only certain attributes, leaving any other settings
untouched, make sure that only the categories you want the style to control are selected.
The Paragraph Styles category is turned off by default, even if you’re creating a text frame. This
category is applicable only if the object is an unthreaded text frame.
Drag the object style from the Object Styles palette onto an object in the document window.
When the pointer changes to a fist with a plus sign, release the mouse. (The object does not need
to be selected first.)
Note: Once you apply a style, you can apply any other settings to the object as needed. Although
you may override a setting defined in the style, you do not lose the connection to the style.
If a group is selected when you apply an object style, the style is applied to each object in the
group.
To change the default style for a text frame, choose Default Text Frame Style from the Object
Styles palette menu, and then select the object style.
To change the default style for a graphics frame, choose Default Graphics Frame Style from the
Object Styles palette menu, and then select the object style.
To change the default style for any object type, drag the icon that marks the default object type
from one object style to another.
Note: If you select an object style when no frame is selected, that object style becomes the new
default object style for text or graphics, depending on which tool is selected in the toolbox.
You can edit the [Basic] styles, but you cannot delete them.

When you click on a path, you will create a Path Type text frame that runs the entire length of
the path. But if you click and drag along the path, you can control the size of the Path Type text
frame.

Path Type Options dialog box.
Once you have the Path Type flipped and positioned you can then use other options to further
refine its position. You can use the Align and the To Path options in the Path Type Options
dialog box to align your text by ascender, descender, centre, or baseline of the type to the top,
bottom or centre of the drawn path. You could even use Baseline Shift to move your text away
from the path.
To force the text to flow and link to another path, you should first click on the new path with the

Using InDesign
layers
What you use layers for
Each document includes at least one named layer. By using multiple layers, you can create and
edit specific areas or kinds of content in your document without affecting other areas or kinds of
content. For example, if your document prints slowly because it contains many large graphics,
you can use one layer for just the text in your document; then, when it’s time to proofread the
text, you can hide all other layers and quickly print the text layer only. You can also use layers
to display alternate design ideas for the same layout, or versions of advertisements for different
regions.
Layers are also very handy if you are required to produce a number of designs in different
languages. Simply create a new layer for each language, then only show one of these layers
when it comes time for printing. For the next printout hide the first layer, and show another
language layer.
Think of layers as transparent sheets stacked on top of each other. If a layer doesn’t have
objects completely covering it, you can see through it to any objects on layers behind it.

Layers are also very handy if you are required to produce a number of designs in different
languages. Simply create a new layer for each language, then only show one of these layers
when it comes time for printing. For the next printout hide the first layer, and show another
language layer.
Another use
Another handy reason for using layers is for cutting Photoshop “out of the loop” a little bit.
What does that mean?
Because we have created a separate truck graphic, and a separate petrol pump graphic, it is
possible to place these onto different layers. Now you can move each layer independently of the
other layers, and move objects around at will.
To keep the layers ability going in this design, the text has been given separate layers as well.
The pull quote is a separate layer, the heading is a separate layer, the intro is a separate layer,
and the text itself is on another separate layer.
Now we have the creative freedom to lock and unlock layers, and move them independently to
create a layout which is just right.
4. Select a font size to set the appropriate amount of overhang for the size of type in your
story. For optimal results, use the same size as the text.
The truck has been cropped, the background removed, then its image size altered. Then a
suitable typeface to suit a “graffiti” effect was selected, and the wording applied to the side of
the truck.
The petrol pump has had similar work done on it, with a final Gaussian Blur applied to give the
illusion of a “depth of field” photograph. This gives the final composition a dynamic feel, and
appears as a 3D effect.

Using layers
for floating
Panels Floating Over a Ghosted Image
In the last exercise we “Created a Window Through Your Brochure Cover.” The steps involved
in creating the die cut look of the layout, resulted in some interesting effects. One pondering
point from this exercise would be – “Is there a way to create a transparent look within InDesign
using an image in the background with panels floating above it which contain the same image
perfectly lined up with the original image beneath?”
In this exercise, we will set up a document, using Margins, Columns and Ruler Guides, the
Paste Into command, Compound Paths, Ghosting an image and Drop Shadows.
Setting Up Simplicity
Set up a new A4 document (File > New) with four columns and 5mm gutters, but no
text frame. Make the Margins 10mm on the top, left and right, and 75mm on the bottom
and click OK. Drag Ruler Guides to 18mm and 190mm on the X axis, and 18mm and
210mm on the Y Axis. The Margins, Column Guides and Ruler Guides will make it
simple to line everything up perfectly in our layout as we move forward.
Draw a Picture Frame using the Rectangle Frame tool (F) that fills the Margins to the
left, right, top, and bottom. Place an image in this Frame (File > Place).
Draw four additional Picture Frames over the top of the original Frame using the
Margin and the Column Guides for size and position. To make them easier to see, add
a white fill by selecting “Paper” from the Swatches palette. These Frames will become
your floating panels.
Select your four “panel” Frames and make them into a Compound Path.
(Object>Compound Path>Make) This will combine the four “panel” Frames into one
Compound Frame, so there will be just one X going through all four combined Frames.
Click between two of panels to select your big background image Frame with the Direct
Selection tool. Then Copy the image (Edit > Copy).
Select your combined “panels” Frame with your Selection tool and go to Edit > Paste
Into. This will paste your image (copied from the back Frame) into the combined front
Frame at exactly the same size and position as in your back Frame.
With the panels still selected, apply a Drop Shadow (Object > Drop Shadows) to the
panels to make them float above the page. Then select the back image and lower it’s
Opacity to 30% in the Transparency palette.
Select the combined “panel” Frame with your Selection tool and drag the sides of the
Bounding Box in, snapping to the Ruler Guides that you drew in Step 1. This should
position your panels 1/2” in from the original background Frame on all sides). And
don’t worry, only the Compound frame will re-size. The size and position of the picture
will not change at all.
Just to make our panels a little more interesting you can try varying the size and position
up and down vertically. But is it possible to select and change the individual parts of a
Compound Path. Yes!
First select your panels with your Selection tool (V), and switch to your Direct Selection
tool (A). Using the Direct Selection tool, click on the top side of the first panel and click
the Down Arrow on your keyboard. Or you also can click on this top segment and Shift-
Drag straight down the page. The Shift key constrains your re-sizing vertically down the
page. Vary the other panels, up or down, using the same method.
All that’s left is adding your type and you’re finished creating quite an interesting image
entirely in InDesign as part of a layout.

Using layers
for cutouts
Using layers with other “stuff”
One area of Adobe InDesign that sets it apart from any other layout program is Transparent
Effects. In this exercise we’ll see how it’s possible to cut a window right through your page to
a beautiful picture below using Layers, Custom Grids, soft Drop Shadows and the Pathfinder
palette. It’s a quick way to simulate a die cut without adding any production cost.
Layers are also very handy if you are required to produce a number of designs in different
languages. Simply create a new layer for each language, then only show one of these layers
when it comes time for printing. For the next printout hide the first layer, and show another
language layer.
Layers of simplicity
The best way to start any page design that will involve a complex stacking order of
objects is to set up Layers. It will make working on your layout as simple as 1-2-3.
In your Layers palette (Window > Layers), Double-click on Layer 1 and change the
name to “Background Picture” and click OK. Then under the Options (arrow) menu of
the Layers palette, choose New Layer, name the Layer “Grid Window” and click OK.
Create one last Layer (on top) called “Type and Top Objects.”
To begin setting up a grid for what will become the “panes of a window” through your
page, first we have to move the page margins. Go to the Layout menu > Margins and
Columns… and in the window that opens, change the Top, Left, and Right Margins to
25mm, and the Bottom Margin 75mm. Check Preview to see the new position of your
Margins and click OK.
Grid-Like Accuracy
Now we’re ready to set up our guides for a grid of window panes. Go to the Layout
menu > Create Guides… and in the window that opens, set up 3 Rows and 3 Columns
with 5mm Gutters for both. In the Options section of the window, next to “Fit Guides
to,” choose Margins. Check Preview to see your work and click OK. You have just set
up a perfect 3 X 3 Grid of Guides in seconds, without a ruler or a calculator.
Before you start getting too far ahead of yourself, you’d better get organised. Start by
selecting all your Text Frames and look at your Layers palette to see which Layer they
are in. A selection indicator (small square) to the right of a Layer will let you know on
which Layer(s) your type is located. Click and drag the indicator(s), one at a time, to the
top Layer.
You’re also going to have to add Bleed to your layout. Even though your layout will
not look like it bleeds off the page, it really will. You’ll see what I mean as we move
forward. To set up a 3mm Bleed, go to the File menu > Document Setup and in the
Bleed section of the window, select the first fill-in box and press the Up Arrow on your
keyboard twice, now click the “link” icon to the right (which should make all Bleeds
3mm”), and click OK.
Start by clicking on the “Grid Window” Layer to activate it as your working Layer. You
will see the Pen icon move, letting you know that you will now be “writing to” that
Layer. Select your Rectangle tool (M), then click and drag from the upper left Bleed to
the lower right Bleed. Fill the rectangle with Paper colour (white) from the Swatches
palette (Window > Swatches).
Click and drag with the Rectangle tool (M) to create a rectangle that fills the upper
left grid section. It should snap right to your Guides. Fill it with any colour from the
Swatches palette (temporarily) just to make it easy to see and select. Alt.-Drag the first
Rectangle to create a second rectangle, making sure it snaps to the next Grid Guides.
With the second Rectangle selected, Alt.-Drag to create a third rectangle.
Now select All three rectangles in the top row and Alt.-Drag them to copy a second row.
Repeat with the second row to create a bottom row.
Marquee across your white background and all of your individual colour-filled
rectangles. Then Shift-Click on the white background object to deselect it – leaving
just your “panes” selected. Open your Pathfinder palette (Window > Pathfinder). With
all your “panes” selected, click on the first Pathfinder button on the left (A) - Add. This
combines all selected objects into ONE object.
Now, Shift-Click on the white background to add it to your selection and click the
second button from the left in the Pathfinder palette (B) – Subtract. This “subtracts”
your frontmost object (the combined panes) from the backmost object (the background).
Don’t expect the results to make you scream, “WOW!” A white object, with panes cut
through it on a white background can’t be seen.
Click on your object, and in your Object menu, go to Drop Shadow. In the Drop Shadow
window, check to turn the Effect on, and click OK. Now that’s a “WOW!”
Now that we have a “window,” let’s Place an image of some flowers “outside.” In the
Layers palette, click on the “Background Picture” Layer to Activate it. Draw a Picture
Frame using the Rectangle Frame tool (F). With the new frame selected, go to File >
Place, find your image and click OK. Make just a few minor tweaks to the sizing of the
image and the Drop Shadow Effect and, “Voila!” – a beautiful cover layout.
You now need one more step to create a text wrap which will
conform to an irregular shape. You will notice in the Text
Wrap dialog box that – after you click on the Wrap Around
Object Shape button – that you are given a Type Option at
the bottom of the dialog box. The options you have in here
are:-
Following these steps creates a text-wrap boundary that is “irregularly” shaped around an
object.
In this step, we want to add text to the label for the apple. Because the apple has text wrap
applied to it, we’ll need to turn off the text wrap for the new text frame so that it appears on top
of the orange’s label. Select the Type tool. Drag to create a new text frame so that it appears on
top of the object that has text wrap applied. Type text in the text frame. Choose Object > Text
Frame Options. In the Text Frame Options dialog box, choose Ignore Text Wrap, and then click
OK. The text appears on top of the object and does not wrap around it. Don’t worry if you can’t
see the text at first; once you apply the Ignore Text Wrap option, the text will show up.
If you now move to the Text Wrap dialog box, and click on the Wrap Around Object Shape, then
ask for the Same As Clipping option, you have created your new text wrap.
After you have finished this exercise recreate it using the graphic called guitar.psd (which
has a full colour background). Use the Object>Clipping Path dialog box to “take away” the
background before applying a text wrap.

In fact, using the Paste Into command is the only way to get multiple items
into a frame, which can be done by simply grouping the items before copying
them into the Clipboard (text in Figure 1). And while frames can act as a
mask for placed graphics (using File > Place), the Paste Into command allows
frames to act as a mask for text, too, an effect that cannot be achieved by
simply placing text in a frame (Figure 2).
Figure 2: You can mask text by using the
Paste Into command. The text frame on the Figure 1
left was copied and pasted inside the circle
on the right; the circle acts like a window,
letting only a portion of the text frame show
through (including the drop cap)
To use Paste Into requires two other pieces of information. If you Copy an object to the
Clipboard after first selecting it with the Selection tool (black arrow), both the content and the
frame will be pasted into the target frame. If you select the object with the Direct Selection tool
(white arrow) — or the Text tool — before copying, only the selection (the content or the frame/
text) will be pasted.
Also, if the copied or cut object is not touching the target frame, the object’s upper left-hand
There are endless possibilities for special effects you can use with Paste Into.
DIRECTIONS: Type a capital letter in a text frame. Increase size as desired. Click on the frame
with the Selection tool and convert to outlines (Type > Create Outlines). Create the headline
text in a separate text frame, and position over the capital letter.
Select the headline text with the Direct Selection tool, and copy it (Edit > Copy). Use
Edit > Paste in Place to create a duplicate of the text that is positioned over the original.
Apply white (or color of your choice) to the duplicated text, and Cut the duplicated text
frame.
With the Direct Selection tool, click on the large capital letter, then use Edit > Paste Into to paste
the white text inside the letterform. Select the original headline text and use
Object > Arrange > Send Backward (or To Back) to position it behind the duplicate text.
If you need to re-position the text, use the Direct Selection tool to move the large capital
letter, then group all elements.
Increase size and apply colour as desired. Draw several frames (e.g., in the shapes of squares)
and apply various fill colors. Select one of the individual letters with the Direct Selection
tool, and Edit > Cut (or Copy). Select one of the empty frames and use Edit > Paste Into to
put the letter inside the frame.
Select the letter inside the frame with the Direct Selection tool, and position it freely within the
frame.

Preflight
Adobe InDesign has integrated controls for checking the availability of all the files necessary
for successfully outputting a document. You can use these controls to “Preflight” the document,
confirming that all the graphics and fonts used within the document are available for printing.
These controls also allow you to check the colour usage within the document, including those
used within placed graphics. This is especially important if the document is intended only for
CMYK print with no extra spot colours – you can check to ensure that none of your specified
colours have been allocated as spot colour
and, if they have, you can change it at this
stage. The same applies if the document
is to be printed in only 2 spot colours and
you can Preflight to ensure that no RGB or
CMYK graphics have been included and
not previously been converted to Greyscale
or Duotone. Let’s have a look at how
Preflight works…
3. Click on the Fonts option, you will see a list of fonts used within the document.
The information panel also shows what kind of font it is – TrueType, PostScript or
OpenType; whether it is OK for printing (or missing or incomplete); and, whether the
font is protected from embedding.
When InDesign cannot embed a font, due to the font vendor’s settings, and someone
who opens or prints an Adobe PDF file does not have access to the original font,
InDesign temporarily substitutes a Multiple Master typeface: either AdobeSerMM for a
missing serif font, or AdobeSanMM for a missing sans serif font. This means that your
document will not view or print the same as you have set it up!
5. Click the “Repair All” button. Because InDesign knows where these modified images
originally came from, there is no need to navigate your way to the folder containing
the required graphic files and double-clicking to update the link.
NB: You cannot use the Repair All to update problems with colour space of a placed
graphic. You will need to open the file in PhotoShop, change the Colour Mode to
CMYK and then update the link via the Links palette.
6. Click the Colours and Inks option. You will notice that the four process (subtractive
primary) colours are listed: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black. The dialog box will also
report on the resolution of each colour LinesPerInch of each image.
7. Click the Cancel button. Although you can go direct to “Package” from here, at this
stage it is better to work through Packaging step-by-step as a separate process.
Package
The package command gathers a copy of the InDesign document, a copy of all the linked items
(including graphics and text) and a copy of the fonts needed for printing the file.
1. Choose File > Package. An alert dialogue box will warn you of the potential problems
with the file, click “Continue” to proceed to Packaging.
2. A Printing Instructions window will appear, in which you can add contact details and
6. Minimise InDesign and browse through the folders to your work folder, then find the
folder you just created during the packaging process. Click on that folder and take note
of the items that InDesign has packaged ready for output – a duplicate of the original
document, a copy of all graphics and a copy of the fonts used. When you packaged
the document, you ticked “Update Graphics Links in Package”, this means that when
the file is sent to the print supplier, the Preflight will instantly recognise where all the
linked graphics are, without the need for updating.
1. Clicking the “Find font” button, then selecting the font to be changed.
Separation Preview
When you have a document that will require printing in more than one colour, you will probably
need to — at some stage — print colour separations. It is always advisable to print a test-run of
colour separations, wherever possible, before you send the packaged file to the print supplier.
This allows you to confirm that you have everything in order, and that nothing goes missing in
the process before the expense of running film or plates.
Adobe InDesign allows a preview of the colour separations, which is especially useful for
large or multi-page documents for which a test-run printout would be costly in both time and
resources.
2. Click “Separations” in the View pop-up menu. Click on the eye icon adjacent to
colours to hide or view. Notice how your document then previews just that printing
colour.
3. Notice, also, that when you hover the cursor over an area of your document, percentage
values appear adjacent to the various colours in the Separations Preview palette.
This is giving you (and the print supplier) an idea of the level of ink coverage on
that particular part of the paper. Notice that areas that are printed in CMYK show the
individual percentages of the four process colours plus the total ink coverage next to
the combined CMYK icon. You can see from this that it is possible to have more than
100% ink coverage!
3. To return your document to its ‘normal’ preview, select “None” in the Highlight drop-
down menu.
It is important that, during the proofing process, prints are sent to a black & white laser or inkjet
printer. This saves valuable resources (colour inks and money) whilst checking for general
layout, spelling and typographical errors.
You will also print out a colour separated version of the document, which also is sent to a black
& white printer. If you would like to also print out a colour copy for your portfolio, that would
be good.
7. Click the Advanced option and set the Transparency Flattener Preset to High
Resolution from its drop-down menu.
8. Click the “Save Preset…” button at the bottom of the Print Dialogue box. Name the
preset “B&W Proof” and click OK.
Choosing to save the Print settings as a Preset means that all the options you changed for this
job can be applied to any file you wish to print as a black & white proof, without the tedium of
making the changes again & again. All you will have to do is choose “B&W Proof” in the Print
Preset drop-down menu at the top of the Print Dialogue box – easy!
Research
Utilising the Adobe InDesign CS Help, find information on:
• the affect the various Transparency Flattener Presets have on the output of a document.
Type up this information and insert into your notes for future reference.
1. Choose File > Print and select “B&W Proof” from the Print Preset drop-down menu.
2. Select the Setup option and confirm that the Paper Size is still A4 and that the “Scale to
Fit” option is selected.
3. Select the Marks and Bleed option and tick the “Colour Bars” option in the Marks
area. This is an extra piece of information that you will see on the printout, and is very
important when the final file is sent to the print supplier,.
4. Select the Output option and choose “Separations” from the Colour drop-down menu.
If you can’t access the Separations option, it is because you are printing to a Black and
White printer. To overcome this problem, select Adobe PDF as your printer type.
5. If you had extra colours over the CMYK default, you could click the Ink Manager
button, select the offending colour, then click on Ink Manager. In this area you could
apply and Ink Alias which will take the place of the problem colour.
6. Click “Save Preset…” and name it “Separations Proof” and click OK.
1. Choose File > Print and select “B&W Proof” from the Print Preset drop-down menu.
2. Select the colour output device to which you will be sending the file. Ensure that the
PPD matches.

Designing a
distinctive table
InDesign takes the humble tab to higher heights by allowing you to format tables around
the tabs. This means that when working with complex data, you can easily line up rows and
columns and format them in striking ways.
The steps to create the 'magazine page' overleaf are fairly simple, just follow them exactly.
1. Start a new A4 document with 13mm margins, now place the graphic called Coffeeman.jpg.
Resize the pic to the width of the page, not worrying about the depth at this time.
2. Position the picture at the bottom of your page guides. Draw a box which fills the space
between the top of the picture and the top margin guide. Use your eyedropper tool to select
a colour which is close to the top of the picture, then fill the new box with this colour.
3. Use your T Tool to draw a text box which is positioned in a similar position to the magazine
page, make the size of this text box roughly 110 x 70mm. Make sure your cursor is blinking
inside this textbox then select the Table>Insert
Table command. Specify 14 rows and 4 columns.
A table grid will appear with the columns evenly
distributed across the width, and the height of
each row determined by the default text size. To
add rows or columns after you have created a
table you can use the Table>Insert>Row/Column.
4. You can distribute your rows evenly within your text box by holding down the Shift key
and hovering over the bottom row of the table until your T cursor changes into a double-
headed arrow. Then drag the cursor to the bottom edge of the text box. You can also change
sizes manually by using the Table>Cell Options>Rows and Columns options.
5. Use your type tool to type any text at all into the cells you have created. If you had been
supplied this text (say as an Excel or Tabbed Word file) you could use the Place option and
then highlight the text and select Table>Convert to Table, the text will format into cells.
6. To create a "tabular pattern" similar
to the example, choose Table>Table
Options>Table Setup and use the
tabs across the top of this dialog box
to set up your table appropriately.
If you wanted to manually select a
range of cells, you click and drag with
your T tool then use the Table>Cell
Options>Strokes and Fills.
7. To finalise the magazine page, open the
Transparency dialog box to reduce the
transparency of the entire table appropriately. For a 'bit of a giggle' you can try the various
Mode options in the transparency dialog box — they work just like PhotoShop.

E x p lo r at i o n s at a G l a n ce
Filbenne Grand Gardens Sutton Very grand garden estate currently undergoing
major renovations; most areas open.
PostScript (PS) and TrueType (TT) are both outline font standards which describe letter shapes
(“glyphs”) by means of points, which in turn define lines and curves. The outlines are resolution
independent, meaning that the outlines can be scaled to nearly any arbitrary size. Open Type
(OT) is the latest combination of the best features of both TT and PS.
An outline font must be represented by the dots of the output device, whether it is screen pixels
or the dots of a laser printer. This process of converting the outline to a pattern of dots on the
“device grid” is called “rasterisation”.
When there aren’t enough dots to make up the glyphs (such as small sizes or low resolution),
there can be inconsistencies in the representation of certain letter features. The most common
form of this is that the width of the letter stems can vary when they shouldn’t, making the
typography faulty.
Sometimes these typographical problems can be dealt with by using a built-in process called
“hinting”, which is additional information encoded into the font to help “shape” the letter
correctly.
Glyphs
There is a distinction between characters and glyphs,
which is important to understand. A character is The character ‘a’ and
just that, a letter/number/punctuation/etc which some glyphs
can be printed, a glyph is the specific form that the
AAAaªa
character can take. One character can correspond to
several glyphs — a lowercase ‘a’, an uppercase ‘A’ ÆÁÂÄÀÅÃáâäàåã
and a small cap ‘a’ are all the same character but are
three separate glyphs.
Adobe PostScript
These fonts come in different types, with the most common in use being the Type1 PS font
with quite a few Type3 PS fonts in use as well. These PS fonts were developed by Adobe to
take advantage of the language which is used to talk to most DTP printers – PostScript. Adobe
actually developed this language, and then designed fonts to take advantage of PostScript’s
ability to ‘rasterise’ the language to draw an exact copy of the user’s screen onto a sheet of paper.
TrueType
As Apple disliked the thought of having a key piece of their system software controlled by an
outside company, they developed their own scaleable font technology, called TrueType. Apple
then traded the technology with Microsoft in exchange for their TrueImage PostScript clone.
So the two technologies were combined and released into the next versions of the Mac and
Windows operating systems in 1991.
As time went on Adobe responded by releasing Adobe Type Manager (ATM) which scaled
the PS fonts very similarly to TT fonts. The TT fonts are built into operating systems used by
over 95% of the computers worldwide, while PS fonts are supported directly by most high-
end output devices. So the practical differences between TT and PS begin to blur, and with the
release of PS2 and PS3 the font wars became a bit of a stalemate.
OpenType
This font specification is Microsoft and Adobe’s
collaborative attempt to end the font wars, by unifying OpenType ligatures,
the competing formats of TT and PS fonts. The theory oldstyle figures, etc.
is that users will no long need to concern themselves
with the type of font, although there will always be a ſt ſh fi fl ſſ ffi ffl ffj Th Ţh Ťh
place for TT-OT to be used on screens, and PS-OT to ct st ƒ
be used on older PostScript output devices. In fact OT %‰0
can be viewed as a superset of TT and PS, with added
capabilities for advanced typography.
OpenType fonts use the same advanced glyph substitution and layout features as the other font
types, along with the ability to create a larger “glyph range” than both PS and TT. The font
coding is based on Unicode, which gives it a model to support any of the world’s languages.
OT is also “truly” cross platform independent, which means that fonts can be freely moved back
and forth between platforms, with a noticeable improvement in cross-platform portability for
any document using OT.
OpenType also supports other exciting typographic capabilities such as arbitrary ligatures, real
(not scaled) small caps, old-style figures, arbitrary fractions, and much more in the one font.
Gutenberg developed swashes, discretionary hyphens, fractions, ordinals, etc. hundreds of years
ago, but these typographical niceties had been forgotten up until the development of OT.
Adobe InDesign is an “OT-savvy” application which can make use of advanced OT features.
This means you can turn on OT layout features that automatically substitute alternate glyphs,
ligatures, and old-style figures.
Applying Swashes: Select your type and apply an OpenType font from the Character palette.
Now choose OpenType>Swash from the arrowhead at the top of the Character palette box. If the
swash option is shown in square brackets [swash], it means that swashes aren’t available in that
particular typestyle. Typically swashes are most obvious in capital letters and flourishes at the
end of a word.
Discretionary hyphens, fractions, etc: These options are applied in the same manner as with
swashes. When you have fractions and ordinals enabled, InDesign automatically replaces sets of
numbers such as “1 1/2” with superscripted fractions. Ordinals are created by superscripting the
“st” or “th” that follows a number.
Manual glyph insertion: In addition to the automatic glyph substitutions you can effect using
character formatting, InDesign also enables easy access to all the specialised glyphs in an
OpenType font via manual insertion. The option Type>InsertGlyphs allows you do choose the
available characters via a dialog box. You insert a glyph by double-clicking on it, and if there is
a flyout arrow you can click-hold to select the desired alternate glyph.
The glyph chosen will be inserted in your document wherever your text cursor was positioned.

Working
with pages
The default page setup when you first start a New Document in InDesign is for one single page. But
it is a relatively simple procedure to add extra pages to create a multi-page document.
You can add pages straight into the New dialog box (if you know how many pages you need at the
start), or you can add pages later on when working in your document, as the need arises.
2. The other option in this New dialog box is the option to have
an automatic Master Text Frame. What this does is create a
text frame which fits exactly onto the margins you set up. If
you were creating a publication which was a simple design,
such as a novel, this would mean that every page would be
automatically ready to add text.
4. Using the Insert pages command:- To add extra pages to your document, you also have
the Insert pages command option, which is located in
the fly-out listing from the arrow at the top right of
the Pages Palette. This will allow you to specify the
number of pages you want added.
5. Using the Insert Pages command also give you the option on where you want the new pages
to be positioned. This can be very handy in a larger, more complex document.

Creating masters
You can create a new master from scratch, or base a new master on an existing master.
Any changes made to the source master carry forward to the masters that are based on it. With
careful planning, this provides an easy way to make layout changes to multiple pages across
your document.
Applying masters
Manage masters by using the master icons in the Masters section (upper half) of the Pages
palette (default) or the commands in the Pages palette menu. Every master has a name and a
prefix, which appears in the icons of the pages using that master.
Removing masters
When you remove a master from a page, its layout no longer applies. You can also remove
unused masters from a document to avoid confusion.
Note: If a master contains most of the elements you want, but you need to customize the
appearance of a few pages, you can override master page objects on those pages, instead of
removing the master.
SPITSBERGEN seldom gets hot summers, but 1930 was an exception. That August
two men from a Norwegian scientific mission went ashore on small, barren White
Island. They could see large patches of earth through the melted ice Ð and then a glint
of reflected sunlight caught their attention.
It came from the aluminium lid of a cooking pot.
The men looked at each other in astonishment. How in the world could such a thing
have got to this uninhabited hump of land, usually ice-covered? They were still
speculating on this when they noted a black object near by. A boat!
Thus began the unravelling of a mystery that had long baffled the world.
Ultimately the trail led to the mortal remains of three intrepid aerial pioneers who had
vanished 33 years earlier. From record they had kept and undeveloped photographs
they had taken it was possible to reconstruct their tragic adventure in amazing detail.
The story began in the early 1890Õs when the dream of reaching the North Pole was a
challenge to manÕs ingenuity, persistence and courage. For three centuries explorers
had tried to penetrate the Arctic wastes Ð by ship, by dog sled, on foot. All had failed;
many had not returned.
When, in 1894, a 40-year-old Swedish engineer, Salomon August Andree, announced
his intention of flying a balloon from Spitsbergen to the Pole, his listeners were
incredulous. At the time the longest balloon flight ever made over land and water had
been from Paris to Lifjell, Norway Ð some 800 miles. From Spitsbergen to the North
Pole and back would be about 1500 miles.
But, if you have varying leading, or have a subhead of a different size and leading, the baselines
will still align, but the program will need to add an extra line of spacing to maintain this
alignment.For example, if the body text in your document has 12-point leading, you would need
to give your sub-heading text 18-point leading, as well as add add 6 points of space before the
paragraphs that follow the headings.
Baseline grids are used to ensure consistency in the location of text elements on a page. You
change settings for the baseline grid by using the Grids section of the Preferences dialog box.
You can also align only the first line of a paragraph to the baseline grid, allowing the rest of the
lines to follow the specified leading values.
Note: The baseline grid is visible only if the document zoom level is greater than the view threshold
setting in Grids Preferences. You may need to zoom in to view the baseline grid.
To ensure that the leading of your text does not change, set the baseline grid leading to the same
leading value as your text, or to a multiple thereof.
• The baseline grid covers entire spreads, but the document grid covers the entire pasteboard.
• The document grid can appear in front of or behind all guides, layers, and objects, but
cannot be assigned to any layer.
For Start, type a value to offset the grid from the top of the page, usually to account for the top
margin. If you have trouble aligning the vertical ruler to this grid, try starting with a value of
zero.
For Increment Every, type a value for the spacing between grid lines. In most cases, type a value
that equals your body text leading, so that lines of text align perfectly to this grid.
To set horizontal grid spacing, specify a value for Gridline Every in the Horizontal section of the
Document Grid section, and then specify a value for Subdivisions between each grid line.
Baseline grid at magnification below view threshold (left) and above view threshold (right)
To set vertical grid spacing, specify a value for Gridline Every in the Vertical section of the
Document Grid section, and then specify a value for Subdivisions between each grid line.
• To put the document and baseline grids behind all other objects, make sure that Grids in
Back is selected.
• To put the document and baseline grids in front of all other objects, deselect Grids in Back.
• You can also choose Guides in Back in the context menu that appears when you select a
guide, and then right-click an empty area of the document window, in order that objects will
appear in front of the guides.
