The Process Manual

• Lock/Unlock Locks the position of a selected object(s). Unlock will allow you to move or alter a locked object. • Text Frame Options This dialog allows you to set specifications for the selected text frame including columns in the frame, text inset and vertical justification. • Fitting Access a submenu that allows the user to fit a frame or the contents of a frame. When using these options to fit a graphic or digital image, always select Fit Content Proportionally to avoid skewed or stretched graphics. • Content Access a submenu that allows you to specify or change the content of the selected frame, either graphic, text or unassigned. • Effects Access a submenu that allows you to utilize a number of transparency effects, including: • Drop Shadow Opens a dialog to assign drop shadows to any selected frame. If a text frame is selected, a drop shadow will be applied to the individual text characters in the frame. • Feather Applies a feathered edge to the content of a selected frame. Set the amount of feathering and the feathering appearance. • Glow Applies a glow to shine on the selected frame, and can be used as either an outer glow or inner glow. • Bevel and Emboss Used to give selected objects a three-dimensional look. • Corner Options Design the corners of any frame that has a stroke applied to it. • Clipping Path Make clipping paths that have been applied to images active, or detect the edges of an item that are in stark contrast to the background. • Paths Use this menu command to create compound paths, which result when overlapping page elements are combined to create one element. Select Create or Release to make or undo compound paths. • Pathfinder Gives you access to the commands found in the Pathfinder palette, which create shapes out of compound paths. • Reverse Path Use this command if you create a compound path and have a section that is not punched out when it should be, or vice versa. This command will reverse the selection. • Display Performance Set the display performance of individual items on the page. Setting items to Optimized Display uses less memory to display photos and graphics. Setting the level to High Quality will display your images as clearly as possible, but may also slow down performance. (See additional display definitions under View.)
