The Process Manual

Why hold down the Shift key? To resize a graphic proportionally, you must hold down the Shift key as you are resizing. If you resize without the Shift key, your graphic will get stretched or skewed. CROPPING GRAPHICS In some cases there may be portions of your graphic that you do not want to show on your page. Use the Selection tool to resize the frame and hide part of the graphic. 1. Click on the graphic with the Selection tool to select it. 2. Click and hold on one of the handles. Drag to crop out the area of the graphic you do not want to appear. 3. To recrop the graphic within the frame, click with the Direct Selection tool and hold in the middle of the graphic. The tool will turn into a hand. Continue holding and drag the graphic around within its frame to recrop it. LINKS WITH GRAPHICS One way to check that your graphics were placed correctly is to check the links. Select Window > Links. This palette will show all of the graphics that are in your document. • If the graphic is linked properly, it will appear as part of the list in the Links palette. • If the graphic is not linked, a question mark appears. To relink the graphic, double-click the graphic name. Click the Relink button and browse to the location of the graphic. Select the graphic and click Open, then click Done in the Link Information dialog, or click Next or Prev to continue relinking graphics. SUBMITTING GRAPHICS Whether you use a graphic of your own creation or a piece of clip art from another source, it will need to be submitted to Walsworth to print correctly. 1. Name your graphic according to the page number on which it is being used and its subject matter. 2. Save your graphic in the same location as your pages so it is easy to find. 3. When you are ready to submit your pages to Walsworth, copy your graphic onto the same disk as the page on which it is being used. See the Submitting section for more information about sending your files to Walsworth.
