26 CHAPTER 2 Making the Switch from PageMaker to InDesign Working with layers As with PageMaker, you can create multiple layers in your document using the InDesign Layers palette. In PageMaker, the base layer used for new documents is called the Default layer; in InDesign, this layer is called Layer 1. Objects on master-page layers appear beneath page objects on the same layer, just as they do in PageMaker; however, master-page objects assigned to a higher layer in InDesign appear above page objects assigned to a lower layer. (In PageMaker, all master-page objects appear beneath page objects, regardless of which layer the master-page objects are on.) The Layers palette in InDesign contains the same commands as the Layers palette in PageMaker. Note that InDesign lets you decide whether or not you want text to wrap around objects on a hidden layer. For more information about the Layers palette or suppressing text wrap on hidden layers, see InDesign Help. Using page numbers, headers, and footers You create headers and footers for pages in InDesign just as you do in PageMaker: by adding page-number markers and text to master pages in your document. To insert a page-number marker in InDesign, you can use a command (Type > Insert Special Character > Auto Page Number) or, when the PageMaker keyboard shortcut set is active, use the same keystrokes you used in PageMaker to insert a page-number marker. (See "Using the PageMaker keyboard shortcut set" on page 73.) InDesign lets you define sections in a single document and label page numbers in each section with a unique prefix. (In PageMaker, you have to create separate publications for each section in a document.) A AA B 1 2-3 4-5 A AA B i ii-iii iv-1 BB 6-7 8 BB 2-3 4 Create a new section to use a different type of numbering. For more information about numbering pages or defining section numbering, see InDesign Help. InDesign does not automatically create running headers and footers, such as those used in directories and dictionaries, that update to reflect the content of each page. For information about using scripting to create running headers and footers, see the Scripting Guide in the Adobe InDesign Technical Info folder on the InDesign CD.
