Using InDesign Manual 2025

Walsworth’s Color Information Enhancement is software that electronically marks your pages with the color(s) you will be using on the page. This tells Walsworth how to print your pages: in color, black and white, and /or with Formula Colors. After you assign color specifications to a page, that information will appear along the margins. When you create a document using the New Spread plug-in, the WPC Color Information window will automatically open and prompt you to set the color information for your document. You can also bring up the Color Information dialog manually by clicking its button on the Control Center. You also can create color for multiple pages. Whenever you have a document that contains more then two pages, the Color Information plug-in will automatically open in the Signature view. This view allows you to see the pages in your document in a way resembling your yearbook ladder. You can apply color information for all pages in a spread, all pages in a flat, all pages in a signature, all pages in a document, or indicate a page range.

Folios Folios on the Parent (Master) Template are placed on the Parent (Master) Pages. To make changes or additions to the folio text and artwork: 1. Double-click on the A-Parent (Master) in the Pages 2. To make it easier to work with the folio, zoom into the folio area by selecting the Zoomtool and clicking on the folio, or use the Zoom tool to draw a marquee around the folio text. 3. Select the Type tool and highlight the folio text. Type in the text you want for your folio. If you do not want folio text to appear on your pages, delete the text block.

4. Decide on the font and font size for your folio. Change folios on the Parent Pages by using the Character palette (Type > Character) or by going to Type > Font and Type > Size. Navigating the page Once your page is built, you need to know how to navigate it. Use the Zoom tool on the Toolbox to zoom in and out. After zooming, use the Hand tool, or press and hold the space bar to push your page to put important things in view. When you need to fit the page in the window again, press Ctrl + Alt + 0 (Windows) or Cmd + Opt + 0 (Mac) on the keyboard. You can use several tools to zoom in and out of a page. On the keyboard, press Ctrl + + (Windows) or Cmd + + (Mac) to zoom in and Ctrl + - (Windows) or Cmd + - (Mac) to zoom out.
