Auto Flow
Whereas text blocks are threaded
together somewhat automatically as you flow text, text frames must be threaded
together manually. Once text frames are threaded, however, you can more easily
redirect the flow of text through them than you can with text blocks. (Threaded
frames also differ from threaded text blocks in that, when you delete a
threaded frame, the text in the frame moves to the next frame in the thread.)
Ø
With
the pointer tool, select a text frame or an empty frame.
Ø
Click
on Layout > Autoflow.
Ø
Click
the bottom windowshade handle. (It will display automatic text flow icon (
)
)
Ø
Position
the loaded text icon where you want the top of the first text block to be, and
then click to begin flowing the text.
Note:- Text fills the column to the
bottom margin and then moves to the top of the next column (or the next page).
PageMaker continues flowing text, adding pages as necessary until the entire
story is placed.
Change
Case
It is used to change the case of
selected sentences or paragraphs.
Ø Select the sentence.
Ø Click on Utilities > Plug-Ins
> Change Case.
Ø Choose proper case option.
Ø Click on Apply > Ok.
Drop Cap
PageMaker lets you quickly add a
drop cap--a large initial character--to one or more paragraphs at a time. The
drop cap's baseline falls one or more lines below the baseline of the first
line of a paragraph.
To
create the drop-cap effect, PageMaker resizes and subscripts the initial
character in the paragraph, and shifts the baseline of the subscript character.
To wrap paragraph lines around the character, PageMaker also inserts tabs at
the start of each line and line breaks at the end of each line that wraps
around the drop-cap character. (Line breaks prevent the tab at the start of
each line from flowing back to the previous line.)
Ø Click an insertion point any where in the
paragraph you want to begin with a drop cap.
Ø Click on Utilities > Plug – ins > Drop
Cap.
Ø Specify the number of lines to wrap around
the drop cap.
Ø Click on Apply to view the drop cap without
leaving the dialog box.
Ø Click on Close.
Text Wrap
One of
the best ways to create visual impact in a publication is to wrap text around
graphics.
Ø Select a graphic or image.
Ø Click on Element > Text Wrap
(Ctrl + Alt + E).
Ø Click on middle wrap option icon.
(The right-most icon is not available unless you have customized the text wrap,
as described later.)
Ø Add a new handle by clicking on
the graphics boundary where you want the handle to appear.
Ø Reshape the boundary by dragging
handles or line segments. (You can hold down Shift as you drag handles or
segments, to constrain movement to vertical or horizontal.)
Mask
Masking is a way of covering part
of an object so that only a portion of it appears through a shape drawn with
the rectangle, ellipse, or polygon tool. The masking object can be behind the
object being masked. In that case, if the masking object has a fill, the fill
will show through the transparent areas of the object being masked.
Ø
Draw
or select the object you want to use as a masking object.
Ø
Position
the masking object you drew in Step 1 over the objects you want to mask.
Ø
Select
the mask and the objects you want to be masked.
Ø
Click
on Element > Mask. (Ctrl + 6)
Note: You
cannot mask a frame or use a frame as a masking object.
Unmask
It
is used to release or separate the masked object or image.
Ø
Select
the masked object or image.
Ø
Click
on Element > Unmask (Ctrl + Shift + 6)
Lock Position
You
can lock individual objects in place in order to help preserve the design of
your pages through all stages of production. You can change the attributes of a
locked object, provided the change does not affect the object's size or
position. For example, you can change a color or fill applied to a locked
object, but not its degree of rotation or its skewing angle. You cannot cut or
delete a locked object without unlocking it first, but you can copy a locked
object; it will be pasted as an unlocked object.
Although
the position of a locked text block is fixed, the bottom windowshade handle
expands downward or retracts upward if text is added, deleted, or resized. Text
continues to flow through locked text objects, moving inline graphics that are
in that text object; only the size and baseline shift of an inline graphic are
locked.
Ø
Select
the object or image or graphics.
Ø
Click
on Element > Lock Position (Ctrl + L)
Unlock
Ø
Select
the locked object.
Ø
Click
on Element > Unlock (Ctrl + Shift + L)
Align Objects
You
can align objects in relation to one another, and then evenly distribute the
spaces between the objects. Align or distribute objects based on a common edge
or based on the centers of objects. For example, select the align-right icon to
move objects horizontally so that their right edges line up with the right edge
of the rightmost object. (To align objects to a grid, use rulers and guides.)
Ø
Select
the two or more objects
Ø
Click
on Element > Align Objects. (Ctrl + Shift + A)
Ø
Define
the alignment as required.
Ø
Click
on Ok.
Frame
It
is used to define or set the frame properties of selected object. E.g. circle /
rectangle / triangle etc.
Ø
Select
the object.
Ø
Click
on Element > Frame.
Ø
Choose
required frame option.
Polygon Setting
It
is used to change the polygon settings of selected polygon.
Ø

Acquire
PageMaker
supports TWAIN, a cross-platform interface in which you can create a TIFF image
using a device (such as a scanner, video-capture board, or digital camera)
attached to your computer and import the image into your publication without
leaving PageMaker. Your device must support TWAIN in order for you to take
advantage of this feature.
Be
sure to install on your hard drive both the Source Manager and TWAIN Data
source files that come with a TWAIN-compatible device. Once the TWAIN Data
source file is installed, you can operate the device from within PageMaker.
Note: Check
with your device manufacturer for the latest Source Manager and TWAIN Data
source files.
Ø
Choose
File > Acquire > Select Source.
Ø
Select
the input device, and then click OK.
To
create and import a TIFF image without leaving PageMaker:
Ø Make sure that your image-acquisition device is ready to create an image.
Also, make sure that your scanning software application is inactive, since the
next step in the procedure activates it.
Ø Choose File > Acquire > Acquire Image.
Ø Specify a name, location, and other available options for the image, and
then click OK.
Ø In the dialog box that opens, specify options according to your device
documentation, and then click the button that creates the TIFF image.
The name of the button varies
with the device; in most cases it is OK, Scan, or Acquire.
If your device requires physical
operation (a hand scanner, for example), it is ready for you to begin creating
the image at this point. Otherwise, the image software acquires the image and
saves it to your hard drive. If you are in layout view and do not have an
insertion point in a text block, the pointer changes to a loaded TIFF icon when
the image is complete. Otherwise, the image imports as an inline graphic.
Ø
In
PageMaker, click the loaded cursor where you want the upper left corner of the
image to be (or click a frame to add the TIFF to the frame). To size the image
as you place it, drag the mouse and then release the mouse button.
Exporting Graphics in a different format
You
can export almost any kind of imported graphic in a publication in any one of
four formats: TIFF, JPEG, GIF89, or DCS. This section describes how to export
graphics for general purposes, but note that PageMaker includes export features
designed for special publishing tasks:
- If you are exporting graphics for color separation purposes, or exporting a high-fidelity color image for editing in Adobe Photoshop, see Preseparating bitmap images.
·
If
you are exporting your publication to HTML, use the File > Export > HTML
command to convert graphics to GIF89 or JPEG automatically as the HTML document
is created; see About
Exporting to HTML for more information. However, if you export images
individually as described in this section, you have more control over GIF89 and
JPEG export options such as color palette (the colors included in the image for
display purposes) and compression quality.
Ø
Select
the graphic to export.
Ø
Choose
File > Export > Graphic.
Ø
Type
a name for the exported graphic, and choose a folder in which to store the
file.
Ø
Select
the new format you want from the Save as Type (Windows) or Format (Mac OS)
pop-up menu.
Ø
The
DCS option is available as the output format only if you are using color management.
See Preseparating
bitmap images for more information on saving in the DCS format.
Ø
Select
the Embed Profile option if the color-managed image will be used in
publications on other computers which may lack that profile. Deselect the
option if you want to keep file size to a minimum, if a high-fidelity profile
is specified for your separations printer, or if the source image is
auto-relinked to the presep-arated image and won't be re-imported elsewhere.
Ø
Click
Settings and specify options as follows:
For TIFF image
Ø
For
Compression, select the method you prefer. See Compressing
and decompressing a TIFF image for details on PageMaker compression
schemes.
Ø For
Preview (available only if you are saving for separations), choose Draft to
save a low-resolution (36 dpi) screen preview with the image, Best to save a
72-dpi screen preview with the image, or Do Not Store in Image for the smallest
file size.
Ø For
Data Format, choose Basic TIFF unless you are saving for separations (in which
case, choose Optimize for Separation) or working with an image scanned at a
very high resolution (choose Optimize for Large Image).
Ø
Select
the Strict TIFF 6.0 Compliance option if you want the preseparated TIFF
optimized for best compatibility with other applications. To ensure best
PageMaker printing, make sure that the option is not selected.
For JPEG image
Ø
For
Image Quality, choose the level you want. The higher the image quality, the
lower the amount of compression. The loss of image detail caused by higher
compression is permanent; you cannot resave an image with a higher level of
image quality to restore the lost detail. Therefore, always preserve the
original image.
Ø
For
Resolution, select Image if you want to use the exported file in a publication
designed for print (including PDF documents designed for on-demand printing),
or Screen if the graphic is intended to be viewed online (for example, in an
HTML document). If you select the Image option for images resized within
PageMaker, the images may revert to their original dimensions.
For GIF89 image
Ø
For
Palette and Color Depth (options available only for full-color images), choose
the setting that best matches your needs. See Image
compression and color on the Web for details on your choices.
Ø
For
Transparency, choose White or Black if the graphic includes a white or black
background and you want that background to be transparent (for example, so that
an HTML document's page background color or tiled background image appears,
rather than the opaque white or black area).
Ø
For
Resolution, choose Image if you want to use the exported file in a
publication designed for print (including PDF documents designed
for on-demand printing), or Screen if the graphic is intended to be viewed
online (for example, in an HTML document). If you choose the Image option
for images resized within PageMaker, the images may revert to their original
dimensions.
Ø
In
the Caption field, type an image caption if desired. The text is included along
the bottom of the exported image, overlaying the image.
Ø
Select
Interlaced if the image will be included in an HTML document. Interlacing
improves the speed at which GIF images display and download over the Web.
Ø
Click
OK in the Settings dialog box.
Ø
Select
Save Current Settings as Defaults if you intend to export additional graphics
and want to apply the same settings you've applied during this procedure to
those other graphics.
Ø
If
it is not selected, click Link to New Image to replace the original bitmap
image in the publication with the new file.
Ø
Select
Save Cropped Area if you cropped the image with the cropping tool and want to
retain only the cropped (visible) portion of the image.
Ø
Click
Save.
