Learning About Adobe InDesign CS PageMaker Edition
InBooklet plug-in for document imposition
Use
the InBooklet plug-in to automatically rearrange
a document’s pages with complete control over
margins, gaps, bleeds, creep, and crossover traps.
Choose among several imposition styles,
including 2-up saddle stitch, 2-up perfect bound,
and 2-, 3-, and 4-up consecutive. (See “Using
InBooklet” on page 51.)
Automated bullets and numbering
Automati-
cally create and style bulleted and numbered lists
to organize information and make it easier to
skim. Save numbered and bulleted list settings in
paragraph styles, which you can apply over and
over again. Numbered lists update automatically
when changes are made. (See “About bulleted and
numbered lists” on page 46.)
Data Merge
Create customized documents, such
as catalogs, direct mail campaigns, business cards,
form letters, and mailing labels. Merge text and
image data exported from a database or
spreadsheet and saved as a comma-delimited file
(.CSV) or as a text file (.TXT) into InDesign
layouts. Data merge is flexible enough to handle
a variety of layouts, whether you’re incorporating
a single record per page to create personalized
letters or tiling multiple records per page to
generate a catalog, produce business cards, and
more. (See “Using Data Merge” on page 57.)
Position tool
Resize and move images and their
frames, or reposition image content in relation to
frames using the handy Position tool, which works
similarly to the Crop tool in PageMaker 7.0. (See
“Using the Position tool” on page 72.)
Template Browser
Jump-start your design
projects with any of the InDesign templates
included with the PageMaker Edition. Use the
Template Browser palette to browse, search for,
add, delete, and recategorize templates. (See
“Using the Template Browser palette” on page 66.)
PageMaker compatible keyboard shortcuts
Work
at peak efficiency by switching the keyboard
shortcuts in InDesign CS to match the shortcuts
you’ve already learned in PageMaker. (See “Using
the PageMaker keyboard shortcut set” on
page 73.)
PageMaker toolbar
Enjoy easy access to
commonly used commands through a toolbar
similar to ones used in Adobe Acrobat
®
software
and Microsoft Office. Also use the PageMaker
toolbar to quickly launch Adobe Illustrator or
Photoshop software, or to package InDesign
documents for Adobe GoLive
®
or export them as
Adobe PDF files. Dock the toolbar or let it float
over your document area. (See “Using the
PageMaker toolbar” on page 45.)
