User Guide Supplement

Working with pages and spreads

You can add, sort, delete, and navigate pages and

spreads using the Pages palette in InDesign. You

can also jump to a particular page using the

navigational arrows, page text box, or page menu

at the bottom of the document window. These

items replace the page icons that appear at the

bottom of a publication window in PageMaker,

and make it easier to navigate long documents.

In InDesign, you can start a document with a two-

page spread and create spreads that contain more

than two pages.

For more information about using masters,

using the Pages palette, or working with pages

and spreads, see InDesign Help.

Understanding frames

In PageMaker, frames are optional. In InDesign,

text and imported graphics have a frame. While

this might sound like a small difference, it has a

large impact on the way you resize, move, and crop

graphics in InDesign. Here are some tips for using

frames:

•

Dragging a frame handle with the Selection tool

resizes the frame, but not the graphic inside. To

transform both the frame and its contents, use

the Scale tool

, or hold down Ctrl (Windows)

or Command (Mac OS) while dragging a frame

handle with the Selection tool

•

To change the shape of the frame, use the Direct

Selection tool to select it, and then drag a

handle. Use the Pen tool

to add points to the

frame path.

•

To transform the contents of a frame without

affecting the frame, use the Direct Selection

tool

to select the graphic. You can then drag

one of the graphic’s handles to resize, rotate, or

transform it within the frame in other ways. The

frame acts as a “window” through which you

view the graphic. Parts of the graphic that are

outside the frame are masked and do not appear

in your layout.

Selecting frames and graphics

Frame selected with Selection tool

Frame selected

and reshaped with Direct Selection tool

Graphic selected

and moved within frame with Direct Selection tool

•

You can resize a graphic and its frame at the

same time using either the Control palette or

the Transform palette. Before resizing, make

sure that Transform Content is selected in the

palette’s menu. (For details, see InDesign Help.)

•

You can add a stroke to a frame to create a

keyline around a graphic or a border around

text. You can also edit a frame using the

InDesign drawing tools to create custom masks

and shapes.
