You can download the Data Files for

the steps at the following URL:

Units and Increments

The page layout measurements for the

documents in this book are given in

inches, not points or picas In order to

follow these exercises, it is important

that the horizontal and vertical ruler

units are set to inches To verify this,

click Edit (Win) or InDesign (Mac) on

the menu bar, point to Preferences,

then click Units & Increments

All text sizes and rule weights are

expressed in points

You may or may not prefer to

work with rulers showing You can

make rulers visible by clicking View

on the menu bar, then clicking Show

Rulers You can make rulers invisible

by clicking View on the menu bar,

then clicking Hide Rulers Having

rulers visible or invisible will

not affect your ability to follow the

exercises in this book in any way,

unless a step specifically refers to

a measurement on the ruler

Fonts

Because InDesign is a page layout

program, text is involved in almost

every exercise in the book, even those

that focus on placed graphics The fonts used in the exercises in this book were chosen from a set of very common typefaces that you are likely

to have available on your computer

In most cases, the fonts used are either Impact or Garamond If any

of the fonts in use is not available

on your computer, please make a substitution with another typeface that has a similar look Also, please note that because Garamond is such

a common typeface, it is possible that the Garamond font on your computer will be that of a different manufac-turer than the Garamond used in the exercises, particularly if you are using

a Macintosh computer If that is the case, simply replace the “missing”

Garamond in the exercises with the Garamond font on your computer

The following tip, which explains how to substitute fonts, appears in Chapter 1

QUICKTIP

If you see the Missing Fonts dialog box, you can use the font chosen by InDesign by clicking OK, or click Find Font and choose another font in the Find Font dialog box

When you open an InDesign Data File, if any fonts used in the file are not

available on your computer, the usages

of that font will be highlighted in pink Once you substitute the missing font with an available font, the pink highlight disappears

Working with Guides

Chapter 3 focuses on creating and setting up a new document, which includes a thorough exploration of creating and positioning guides and changing the color of guides

Throughout the remainder of the book, the steps in the lessons will direct you to make guides visible or invisible when necessary However, when guides are inconsequential to the lesson, the steps do not instruct you to make guides visible or not Therefore, your document may differ from the figures in the book in terms

of guides For example, your docu-ment may have guides visible, whereas the figures in the book may not show guides

Palettes

Chapter 1 explains palettes in depth You are shown how to group, ungroup, dock, and undock palettes Like guides, the way that you choose

to display palettes may differ from the figures in the book

Hiding and Showing Frame

Edges / Normal View Mode

and Preview Mode

Objects on an InDesign page appear

with frame edges When an object is

selected, the frame edges are more

prominent, but even when the object

is not selected, the frame edges are

visible Sometimes the frame edges

can be distracting, especially at the

end of a lesson when you want to view

the final result of your work You can

choose to hide frame edges, so that an

object’s frame is visible only when the

object is selected An alternative to

hiding frame edges is to switch from

Normal View Mode to Preview Mode

using the appropriate buttons on the

Toolbox In Preview Mode, all guides

and frame edges are hidden

The lessons in the book offer specific

instruction for hiding and showing

frame edges and for switching between

Normal View Mode and Preview Mode

Once you learn these commands, you

can work with the settings that are

most comfortable Because this is a personal choice, you may find that your work differs from the figures in the book For example, you may be working in Preview Mode, whereas the figures in the book may be in Normal View Mode

File Formats for Placed Graphics

Because InDesign is an Adobe product,

it interfaces naturally with Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator

Therefore, Photoshop and Illustrator files can be placed in InDesign as

“native” Photoshop and Illustrator files—it is not necessary to save them as TIFF or EPS files For this reason, in the exercises that include placed images, the placed images are sometimes native Photoshop files, sometimes native Illustrator files, sometimes Photoshop TIFF files, and sometimes they are EPS files from Photoshop or Illustrator

The point is to understand that InDesign works with a variety of file

formats, including native Photoshop and Illustrator files

Working with Process Colors and Spot Colors

Chapter 5 focuses on creating colors in the Swatches palette Some of these col-ors will be process colcol-ors, some will be spot colors The narrative in this chap-ter provides substantial information on the offset printing process and the role

of CMYK inks vs non-process inks

Nevertheless, comprehensive coverage

of the myriad concepts involved in off-set printing is beyond the scope of this book The author presumes that readers already have some familiarity with the basic concepts of 4-color process printing and/or can consult a resource specifically devoted to covering that topic in detail

Updating Placed Graphics

You will be working with Data Files that contain placed graphics throughout the book These support files are stored

READ THIS BEFORE YOU BEGIN

xxii

in the same folder as the InDesign Data

File they are placed in Normally, there

are no issues for opening files with

placed graphics; nevertheless, for a

number of reasons, a warning dialog

box may appear stating that the placed

graphics have been modified and the

link needs to be updated In most

cases, the placed graphics themselves

have not been modified—only their

location has been modified Because

the placed graphics are now on a new

computer, InDesign may determine

that the link needs to be updated

When this occurs, click the button

that says Fix Links Automatically

After clicking the Fix Links

Automatically button, an additional

warning dialog box may appear stating that “Edits have been made to this object You will lose these edits by updating Update anyway?” This dialog box refers to a handful of text docu-ments used throughout the book

Make sure you click No in this dialog box so that the text file is not updated

Otherwise, the formatting applied to the text will be lost

In Chapter 6, which focuses on managing links to placed graphics, links from the InDesign document to the placed graphics have been modi-fied or are missing intentionally to teach you how to react to those situa-tions Read the narrative in Chapter 6 thoroughly to become familiar with

the issues involved in updating modified and missing links Should you encounter a linking problem before Chapter 6, Chapter 6 might very well have the information you need to fix it

Quick Keys

Quick keys are keyboard shortcuts that you can use in place of clicking

a command in a pull-down

(Mac), for example, are basic quick keys for the Cut command After you become familiar with InDesign basics, you will find that learning and using quick keys will speed up your work considerably
