InDesignMultiPages rev 03/31/2015

Multi-page documents + Master pages

Objectives:

More text frames Creating and using Master Pages Creating multi-page documents Automatically adding page numbers Using Layers Adding Effects to text and other objects

Goal: Create this:

Multi-Pages Page 1

Using Master Pages

We will have 1 or 2 A Master page is really just a template for the layout of the document pages.

Will create a 5 page document with: 3 spreads (a spread is how many pages you can see

at a time, one or two), By default, there are two master pages…one applied

to odd numbered pages (aka. right facing), a second for even numbered (aka.left facing) pages.

Start InDesign Reset Essentials workspace

Check Preferences Edit>Preferences>Units and Increments and set

Origin to Page, and inches for Ruler units

Origin: Page. This way, each page will go from 0” to 8.5, if you choose spread, the ruler will go from 0”-17”

Multi-Pages Page 2

Click OK

Start a new Document File>New>Document, Or choose New Document from the opening screen:

Values: 5 pages .5” margins (the default) Click the Facing Pages check box One column Other defaults are OK

Multi-Pages Page 3

Click OK

Ctrl- to zoom out (ctrl-) and view all three spreads:

Window>Pages to open the Pages panel, or click Pages panel icon:

Multi-Pages Page 4

Then:

Shows three Spreads , and two Master pages Has cover page (page 1...think magazine cover) and two, 2-page spreads, the pages face each other

Multi-Pages Page 5

We have right…odd… (pages 1,3,5) and left facing pages (2 and 4)

Outside the document is a scratch area. Put items there might need later, like a logo

Open these panels: Transform

(Window>Object and Layout>Transform) Window>Type and Table>Character Window>Type and Table> Paragraph Window>Layers

Dock Character and Paragraph panels

Be sure Pages panel open also

We can view: a single page (click the desired page in the Pages

Panel to turn it blue)

Multi-Pages Page 6

Or we can view a spread consisting of two pages (click the numbers )

To view single page after selecting it: View>Fit Page in Window

To view a spread after selecting it in the Pages panel: View>Fit Spread in Window

In the Pages panel, double click the 2-3 spread...both pages should turn blue/gray.

And the first 2-page spread shows up (Or View>Fit Spread in Window):

Multi-Pages Page 7

Look at the rulers…the horizontal ruler goes from 0-8.5” on each page.

This is because we chose Page as origin option. What if we had selected Spread: the Rulers would go 0”-17”

Look at the Master page area:

Multi-Pages Page 8

If we put something in the A Master, right page, that content will show in every right facing (odd) pages 1,3, and 5...

To add something to a regular page (i.e. NOT a Master), select the page and add content, as we did in the single-page module.

Goal: To add a small Text Frame at the top of Page 1, against the right margin…2”down ,as you can see below:

Multi-Pages Page 9

The Steps Select Page 1:

Turns blue View>Fit Page in Window Select the text frame tool To help position the text frame in the x direction, select

any reference point on the right side of the Transform panel: upper right corner best)

Q: Is the concept of the reference points clear?

Draw the text frame (box).

Multi-Pages Page 10

Transform Settings:

Need (x,y) and H,W values

X value calculation: 8.5 inches for width of page, and - .5 for margin, so right edge of text box should be 8 inches…x=8.0

Choose any reference point along the top row. (Mine was already selected)

Want the top of the box to be down 2”, so Y=2” Size: W:4.5”, H:1”

Summary: H: 1 W=4.5 X=8”, Y=2

Your Transform palette should have these values

Multi-Pages Page 11

Note: You will later add a title at the top of each page via a master page. That’s why we started the text frame 2” down

General Rule: On right-facing pages, push stuff to the right (chapter titles, page numbers,…). Opposite for left-facing pages

Think of a book…the page numbers on the left side align left, and vice versa for pages on the right..

Inside the text frame, on page 1, type: This is Page 1

Change font (to Trajan Pro), size 24 points… o It capitalized the letterso Can use Control bar or the Character panel

Multi-Pages Page 12

Or use Control bar:

Use the Paragraph panel to right-justify the text inside the text frame…Page 1 is a right-facing page

We’re going to add content to the remaining odd numbered pages (3,5)

Multi-Pages Page 13

Click the Selection tool (black arrow) to exit text mode

Or, choose Edit>Deselect All Goal: Create content for Page #3; and Page # 5 using copy, Paste in Place

Select the Text frame you just created (on Page 1) Edit >Copy

Select Page 3 Edit>Paste in Place Change the text to say This is Page 3

Goal: Page # 5 Content Repeat the paste in place process

Even Pages Next..can’t use Paste in Place: We want this text to be left-justified

Page # 2 first

Just do a regular Copy/PasteMulti-Pages Page 14

Select the box on Page 1, Ctrl-C, then switch to Page 2, (Double-click on Page 2 symbol) and Paste (Ctrl-V)

The text box appears in the middle of the page. We need to reposition it….

Transform:

Select any reference point along the left side of the Reference points and specify x=.5, y=2 :

Left-justify the text inside the box

Change the text to say Page 2: Use the paragraph panel to left-justify the text inside

the box for page 2

Multi-Pages Page 15

Repeat the copy/paste in place process for Page # 4 (ie, copy from page 2, Edit>paste in place on page 4)

Zoom out to see entire pasteboard

Now, select the 2-3 spread (double-click), and choose View>Fit Spread in Window

Multi-Pages Page 16

If text too small to display, shows Greeking instead…

Review: we have 5 pages, each with a text box filled with varying kinds of text

Save as Multipage.indd

Master page concept

Goal: Show the same content on every page via a master pageCan have several master pages…default is two pages (Ignore the “none” master)

Multi-Pages Page 17

Masters are created/modified in top section of the pages palette, as you can see above

See the “A” on each page?…means the A-Master is being applied automatically

Goal: Add a title at the top of every page

Double-click the A-master words

Shows two blank master pages

We will start with a single master page; i.e.delete one we don’t need.Multi-Pages Page 18

Right-click on the A-Master label, o Choose Master Options for A- Master:

Enter values below:

For now, we’re going to use only one master page, not two. We don’t HAVE to have a master for left and a separate one for right facing pages

Change the Name to Master Title Change Number of pages to 1 Clicked OK Should see:

Multi-Pages Page 19

View the Master full-screen—double-click on the blue page icon, or View>Fit Page in Window

Looks like any other page You are going to add a text frame at the top of the

Master Title master page.

InDesign will automatically assign the revised master to every page that uses that master (“A”). . . i.e. all of them

Create a new text frame at the very top of the Master 1.25 inches tall, 7.5”wide (extend from margin to margin )

Upper left reference values: X=.5 Y=.5 H:.1.25 W:7.5

Why are x,y = .5?, not zero?

Multi-Pages Page 20

Paper is 8 ½ inches wide; and we have a left and right margin of .5 inches, leaving 7.5 (Width)

Type: This is my title Change font to Trajan Pro , size 36 points

In the Paragraph panel, click left Align

Multi-Pages Page 21

Want to leave some space to the right of the text for a logo.

Select the text and choose Character panel and bring baseline down 7 points (-7) so text is not up against top margin:

Result:

Multi-Pages Page 22

Deselect everything (Edit>Deselect all), or Selection tool, then click away

Add a Drop Shadow… Select the text frame , not the actual text using the Selection tool,

and then:o Object>Effects>Drop Shadow
