Using the Move Pages command and dialog box

As you have learned, if you have a multiple-page document, you can change the sequence of pages simply by moving them around in the Pages palette Simple enough But for documents with more pages—let's say 100 pages—dragging and dropping page icons in the Pages palette isn't so simple Imagine, for example, trying

to drag page 84 so that it moves after page 14 Whew! InDesign CS2 now offers a Move Pages command and dialog box, available from the Pages palette menu This simple but powerful dialog box allows you to specify which pages you want to move and where you want to move them Be sure to check it out.

The horizontal ruler at the top of the window now measures each page, not the entire spread

7 Click the Rectangle Frame Tool , draw a rectangle frame of any size anywhere on the

right master page, then click the top-left reference point on the proxy in the Transform

palette

8 In the Transform palette, type 5.125 in the

X Location text box, type 3 in the Y Location text box, type 2.5 in the Width text box, type

2 in the Height text box, then press [Enter] (Win) or [return] (Mac).

9 Click View on the menu bar, then click Fit Spread in Window so that your spread

resembles Figure 40

10 Double-click A-Chapter Right Page in the

Pages palette, then draw a rectangle frame

in the position shown in Figure 41

The bottom of the rectangular graphics frame abuts the top of the text frame beneath it

11 Select the top-middle reference point on

the proxy in the Transform palette, click to the immediate right of the value in the

Height text box, then type -.25, as shown

in Figure 42

The current value in the Height text box in your Transform palette might differ slightly from the figure

12 Press [Enter] (Win) or [return] (Mac).

The height of the rectangle frame is reduced

What You’ll Do Applying Master Pages to

Document Pages

Once you have created master pages, you then use the Pages palette to apply them to the document pages One method for apply-ing master pages is the “drag and drop”

method Using this method, you drag the master page icon or the master page name

in the top section of the Pages palette down

to the page icons in the lower section of the Pages palette To apply the master to a sin-gle page, you drag the master onto the page icon, as shown in Figure 47 To apply the master to a spread, you drag the master onto one of the four corners of the left and right page icons, as shown in Figure 48.

When you apply a master page to a docu-ment page, the docudocu-ment page inherits all

of the layout characteristics of the master.

QUICK TIP

You can apply the default None master page to a document page when you want the document page not to be based

on any master.

A second method for applying master pages

to document pages is to use the Apply Master to Pages command in the Pages palette menu The Apply Master dialog box, shown in Figure 49, allows you to specify which master you want to apply to which pages This method is a good choice when you want to apply a master to a series of consecutive pages When many pages are involved, it’s faster than dragging and dropping.

In this lesson, you will apply master pages

to document pages

What You’ll Do Placing Text

Once you have created a text frame—

either on a master page or on a document page—you can type directly into the frame, or you can place text from another document into it When creating head-lines, you usually type them directly into the text frame When creating body copy, however, you will often find yourself plac-ing text from another document, usually a word processing document

Placing text in InDesign is simple and straightforward Click the Place command

on the File menu, which opens the Place dialog box Find the text document that you want to place, then click Open

The pointer changes to the loaded text icon With a loaded text icon, you can drag

to create a text frame or click inside an existing text frame Float the loaded text icon over an existing text frame, and the icon appears in parentheses, as shown in Figure 53 The parentheses indicate that you can click to place the text into the text frame Do so, and the text flows into the text frame, as shown in Figure 54

In this lesson, you will place text, thread

text from frame to frame, then view text

threads.
