With InDesign CS2, you can even place a range of pages from multipage - Adobe 27510753 | Switch Guide - Page 4
Section 1: Getting Started with InDesign CS2 In this section, you'll learn about several important differences between PageMaker and InDesign CS2 and how you can customize InDesign CS2 to suit your personal preferences.

crucial. In this section, you'll learn several basic setup tasks and how to navigate within a document. Setting up margins, columns, and guides Most designers use guidelines to help them place and align objects on a page. Both PageMaker and InDesign CS2 automatically display guidelines for margins - Adobe 27510753 | Switch Guide - Page 15
and graphics. By default, a page has one column defined by two column guides, one at the left margin and one at the right margin. Changing the with a new set of equally spaced columns. In PageMaker, the Column Guides command (Layout menu) lets you specify column settings for document pages or - Adobe 27510753 | Switch Guide - Page 16
and drag to the desired location on a page. • To create a spread guide, click and drag from the horizontal or vertical ruler while holding down the you create rows and columns of any height and width and automatically position guides to match your leading grid. In InDesign CS2, you can create two - Adobe 27510753 | Switch Guide - Page 17
not the same as those you create with the Margins and Columns command (Layout menu). For example, columns that you create by using Create Guides cannot control text flow when you place a text file. Use the Margins and Columns command to create major column divisions appropriate for autoflowing text - Adobe 27510753 | Switch Guide - Page 18
hidden on all pages until you show it again. Working with master pages Just as in PageMaker, master pages in InDesign CS2 can contain ruler guides, page-number markers, logos, or any other objects you want to add to multiple pages in a document. You create, delete, and apply master pages in - Adobe 27510753 | Switch Guide - Page 19
Creating a master page from a document page InDesign CS2 also lets you create a master page from a document page. For example, if you lay out a document page and then decide you want to use it as a master page, you can choose the Save As Master command from the Pages palette menu. The Pages palette - Adobe 27510753 | Switch Guide - Page 20
Spread, Go Back (to the last page displayed), and Go Forward (to the page displayed before you chose Go Back). Like Photoshop and Illustrator, InDesign CS2 also includes a Navigator palette (Window > Object & Layout > Navigator) that lets you visually navigate within a page, spread, or document. Use - Adobe 27510753 | Switch Guide - Page 21
Section 4: Working with Frames In PageMaker, frames are optional-you can place text and graphics within frames, or text blocks and imported graphics can stand alone (that is, text and graphic objects can exist without frames). In InDesign CS2, you place all text and imported graphics within frames. - Adobe 27510753 | Switch Guide - Page 22
A few things to keep in mind about paths and frames: • Paths are vector graphics like those you create in a drawing program, such as Adobe Illustrator. A path can be closed, such as a rectangle or a polygon, or open, such as a curved or straight line. Because a path doesn't contain text or a graphic - Adobe 27510753 | Switch Guide - Page 23
Similarly, when you place a text file, you can place the text into an existing frame or create a new one. The current selection determines where the text is placed: • If the text insertion point is flashing, the imported text is inserted at the text insertion point. • If text is highlighted, the - Adobe 27510753 | Switch Guide - Page 24

Import Options in the Place dialog box (File > Place), InDesign CS2 displays a set of options for the file type you're importing. InDesign offers robust support for both Word and RTF files. For example, when you import a Word document or an RTF document, you have the option to rename styles (in - Adobe 27510753 | Switch Guide - Page 26

InDesign CS2 creates - Adobe 27510753 | Switch Guide - Page 27
Threading and unthreading text frames PageMaker is like InDesign CS2 in that the text in a frame can be independent of other frames, or it can be part of a linked sequence of frames. Linked frames can be on the same page or spread, or on any other page in the document. In both programs, the process - Adobe 27510753 | Switch Guide - Page 28
character styles and even nest character styles within paragraph styles for faster application of complex text formatting. The simplest way to format text manually in InDesign CS2 is to use the Control palette (Window > Control), which is very similar to the Control palette in PageMaker. When you - Adobe 27510753 | Switch Guide - Page 29
Type tool, and then use the Control, Character, or Paragraph palette to format the text. The Paragraph palette (Type > Paragraph) offers controls for manually formatting entire paragraphs.

In addition to providing tools for drawing standard shapes and frames, InDesign CS2 includes tools for adding and deleting points on a path or - Adobe 27510753 | Switch Guide - Page 37
Section 7: Working with Styles InDesign CS2 lets you create three kinds of styles: character and paragraph styles for formatting text and object styles for formatting objects. In this section, you'll learn about using styles to save time and ensure consistency. Using character and paragraph styles - Adobe 27510753 | Switch Guide - Page 38
Use the New Paragraph Style menu (Paragraph Styles palette menu > New Paragraph Style) to create paragraph styles for quickly applying a set of paragraph attributes. Using nested styles InDesign CS2 lets you create nested styles that specify character-level formatting for one or more ranges of text - Adobe 27510753 | Switch Guide - Page 39
Object styles have many uses. For example, if the publications you create often include sidebars within stroked text frames, you can set up an object style that specifies the width, style, and color of the stroke, as well as text insets. Each time you need a sidebar frame, you can simply create a - Adobe 27510753 | Switch Guide - Page 40

Using the eyedropper The InDesign CS2 toolbox includes an eyedropper for copying fill and stroke attributes, such as color and transparency, from any object in an InDesign CS2 file, including an imported graphic. By default, the eyedropper loads all available fill and stroke attributes of an object - Adobe 27510753 | Switch Guide - Page 52
Section 10: Creating and Editing Tables PageMaker users can create and edit tables and then import them into publications. The table features in InDesign CS2 are built into the program and are much more extensive than those in PageMaker. By using the built-in table functionality in InDesign CS2, you - Adobe 27510753 | Switch Guide - Page 53

Switching from
Adobe PageMaker
to Adobe InDesign CS2
Introduction
Congratulations! If you’re reading this document, it’s because you’ve made the switch—
or are thinking about making the switch—from Adobe® PageMaker® soſtware to Adobe
InDesign® CS2 soſtware.
As a PageMaker user, you’ve probably invested many hours developing your expertise,
and the thought of learning a new page layout program may at first seem daunting.
However, InDesign CS2 makes it easy to make a quick and smooth transition by
including several familiar PageMaker features among the many powerful features
available in InDesign CS2.
°is document helps ease the transition to get you quickly up to speed. °e main focus is
on key differences between the two programs. °e 12 sections that follow are arranged in
the way you would learn and use any page layout program—setting program preferences,
opening documents, creating and modifying text and graphic objects, building pages and
documents, and finally printing and exporting documents. If you need more detailed
information about InDesign CS2, refer to the online help file (Help > InDesign Help).
Benefits of InDesign CS2
If you haven’t had a chance to check out InDesign CS2, you’re in for a pleasant surprise.
InDesign CS2 offers several compelling advantages, not only over PageMaker, but also
over all other page layout programs. Benefits of switching to InDesign CS2 include:
• InDesign CS2 is tightly integrated with Adobe Photoshop® CS2, Adobe Illustrator® CS2,
Adobe Acrobat® 7, Adobe GoLive® CS2, and Adobe InCopy® CS2 soſtware, so you can
quickly get up to speed with InDesign CS2 and then can work more efficiently with the
other creative applications you use every day. It also includes Adobe Bridge, the new
file management hub for all Adobe Creative Suite 2 components.
• InDesign CS2 offers sophisticated typographic features, including optical kerning,
optical margin alignment, nested paragraph styles, paragraph-based text composition
for improved hyphenation and justification, and full support for OpenType® fonts.
• InDesign CS2 offers several creative features that aren’t available in PageMaker. °ese
features include transparency effects, such as drop shadows and blending modes;
type on a path; object styles; character styles; nested frames; multicolor gradients;
custom line styles; and built-in corner styles and arrowheads.
• InDesign CS2 lets you directly export Adobe PDF files without having to go through
Acrobat Distiller®—in fact, you don’t need Distiller or an installed PostScript® driver.
In addition, PDF files exported from InDesign CS2 can contain prepress or interactivity
information that can’t be included in PDF files created from PageMaker.
• °e multiple undo feature in InDesign CS2 lets you undo a virtually unlimited
number of steps (depending on available RAM), which means you can design with
complete freedom.
• InDesign CS2 was developed from the “ground up” using modern modular soſtware
design and development techniques.
