The Process Manual

To help align objects with the ruler guides, select View > Snap to Guides , as explained previously. Moving from page to page In the lower left corner of the workspace is a pop-up menu that allows you to move to a specific page number, as well as arrow buttons to move from page to page. You can also go to a specific page by opening the Pages palette (Window > Pages) and double-clicking on a page. MASTER PAGES At the top of the Pages palette is a section of master pages. Master pages also appear in the pop-up list of pages in the lower left corner of the workspace. Items placed on the master pages will appear on every page within the document and cannot be moved or altered from the document pages. Examples of elements that can appear on master pages are page numbers, folio artwork and folio copy, background artwork, or page elements that lend a consistent look to your file. OVERRIDING MASTER PAGE ELEMENTS With InDesign, it is possible to override Master page elements or items, such as page numbers or folio tabs. These items can be accessed from the document page. 1. To override a master page element, simply hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys (Windows) or Shift + Command (Mac) while you click on the item you want to override. 2. The item will move to the active page where you can now edit it. It is recommended that once you override a master text item, you should lock that element in place by selecting Object > Lock . 3. When locked, that element cannot be moved but it can be edited using the Type tool. This command can be used to edit folio text, and yet keep folios in the same place. MULTIPLE MASTER PAGES The concept of multiple masters in one document is not new; however, its application in InDesign is unique. In a typical two-page document, there is one master document, called the A-Master. On the Walsworth template, the A-Master has only page numbers and folio tabs. You’ll notice that each page or spread the Master is applied to carries the letter A.
