Auto Flow

Whereas text blocks are threaded together somewhat automatically as you flow text, text frames must be threaded together manually. Once text frames are threaded, however, you can more easily redirect the flow of text through them than you can with text blocks. (Threaded frames also differ from threaded text blocks in that, when you delete a threaded frame, the text in the frame moves to the next frame in the thread.)

With the pointer tool, select a text frame or an empty frame.

Click on Layout > Autoflow.

Click the bottom windowshade handle. (It will display automatic text flow icon (

)

Position the loaded text icon where you want the top of the first text block to be, and then click to begin flowing the text.

Note:- Text fills the column to the bottom margin and then moves to the top of the next column (or the next page). PageMaker continues flowing text, adding pages as necessary until the entire story is placed.

Change Case

It is used to change the case of selected sentences or paragraphs.

Click on Utilities > Plug-Ins > Change Case.

Choose proper case option.

Drop Cap

PageMaker lets you quickly add a drop cap--a large initial character--to one or more paragraphs at a time. The drop cap's baseline falls one or more lines below the baseline of the first line of a paragraph.

To create the drop-cap effect, PageMaker resizes and subscripts the initial character in the paragraph, and shifts the baseline of the subscript character. To wrap paragraph lines around the character, PageMaker also inserts tabs at the start of each line and line breaks at the end of each line that wraps around the drop-cap character. (Line breaks prevent the tab at the start of each line from flowing back to the previous line.)

Click an insertion point any where in the paragraph you want to begin with a drop cap.

Click on Utilities > Plug – ins > Drop Cap.

Specify the number of lines to wrap around the drop cap.

Click on Apply to view the drop cap without leaving the dialog box.

Text Wrap

One of the best ways to create visual impact in a publication is to wrap text around graphics.

Select a graphic or image.

Click on Element > Text Wrap (Ctrl + Alt + E).

Click on middle wrap option icon. (The right-most icon is not available unless you have customized the text wrap, as described later.)

Add a new handle by clicking on the graphics boundary where you want the handle to appear.

Reshape the boundary by dragging handles or line segments. (You can hold down Shift as you drag handles or segments, to constrain movement to vertical or horizontal.)

Mask

Masking is a way of covering part of an object so that only a portion of it appears through a shape drawn with the rectangle, ellipse, or polygon tool. The masking object can be behind the object being masked. In that case, if the masking object has a fill, the fill will show through the transparent areas of the object being masked.

Draw or select the object you want to use as a masking object.

Position the masking object you drew in Step 1 over the objects you want to mask.

Select the mask and the objects you want to be masked.

Click on Element > Mask. (Ctrl + 6)

Note: You cannot mask a frame or use a frame as a masking object.

Unmask

It is used to release or separate the masked object or image.

Select the masked object or image.

Click on Element > Unmask (Ctrl + Shift + 6)

Lock Position

You can lock individual objects in place in order to help preserve the design of your pages through all stages of production. You can change the attributes of a locked object, provided the change does not affect the object's size or position. For example, you can change a color or fill applied to a locked object, but not its degree of rotation or its skewing angle. You cannot cut or delete a locked object without unlocking it first, but you can copy a locked object; it will be pasted as an unlocked object.

Although the position of a locked text block is fixed, the bottom windowshade handle expands downward or retracts upward if text is added, deleted, or resized. Text continues to flow through locked text objects, moving inline graphics that are in that text object; only the size and baseline shift of an inline graphic are locked.

Select the object or image or graphics.

Click on Element > Lock Position (Ctrl + L)

Unlock

Select the locked object.

Click on Element > Unlock (Ctrl + Shift + L)

Align Objects

You can align objects in relation to one another, and then evenly distribute the spaces between the objects. Align or distribute objects based on a common edge or based on the centers of objects. For example, select the align-right icon to move objects horizontally so that their right edges line up with the right edge of the rightmost object. (To align objects to a grid, use rulers and guides.)

Select the two or more objects

Click on Element > Align Objects. (Ctrl + Shift + A)

Define the alignment as required.

Frame

It is used to define or set the frame properties of selected object. E.g. circle / rectangle / triangle etc.

Click on Element > Frame.

Choose required frame option.

Polygon Setting

It is used to change the polygon settings of selected polygon.

Click on Element > Polygon settings.

Define the polygon style.

Rounded Corners

It is used to change the sides of selected rectangle.

Click on Element > Rounded Corners.

Choose proper corner sides.

To Define New Color

Click on Utilities menu > Define colors.

Choose proper color mode (RGB / CMYK / HLS) and define the color as required.

Enter the new name of color.

Acquire

PageMaker supports TWAIN, a cross-platform interface in which you can create a TIFF image using a device (such as a scanner, video-capture board, or digital camera) attached to your computer and import the image into your publication without leaving PageMaker. Your device must support TWAIN in order for you to take advantage of this feature.

Be sure to install on your hard drive both the Source Manager and TWAIN Data source files that come with a TWAIN-compatible device. Once the TWAIN Data source file is installed, you can operate the device from within PageMaker.

Note: Check with your device manufacturer for the latest Source Manager and TWAIN Data source files.

Choose File > Acquire > Select Source.

Select the input device, and then click OK.

To create and import a TIFF image without leaving PageMaker:

Make sure that your image-acquisition device is ready to create an image. Also, make sure that your scanning software application is inactive, since the next step in the procedure activates it.

Choose File > Acquire > Acquire Image.

Specify a name, location, and other available options for the image, and then click OK.

In the dialog box that opens, specify options according to your device documentation, and then click the button that creates the TIFF image.

The name of the button varies with the device; in most cases it is OK, Scan, or Acquire.

If your device requires physical operation (a hand scanner, for example), it is ready for you to begin creating the image at this point. Otherwise, the image software acquires the image and saves it to your hard drive. If you are in layout view and do not have an insertion point in a text block, the pointer changes to a loaded TIFF icon when the image is complete. Otherwise, the image imports as an inline graphic.

In PageMaker, click the loaded cursor where you want the upper left corner of the image to be (or click a frame to add the TIFF to the frame). To size the image as you place it, drag the mouse and then release the mouse button.

Exporting Graphics in a different format

You can export almost any kind of imported graphic in a publication in any one of four formats: TIFF, JPEG, GIF89, or DCS. This section describes how to export graphics for general purposes, but note that PageMaker includes export features designed for special publishing tasks:

If you are exporting graphics for color separation purposes, or exporting a high-fidelity color image for editing in Adobe Photoshop, see Preseparating bitmap images.

If you are exporting your publication to HTML, use the File > Export > HTML command to convert graphics to GIF89 or JPEG automatically as the HTML document is created; see About Exporting to HTML for more information. However, if you export images individually as described in this section, you have more control over GIF89 and JPEG export options such as color palette (the colors included in the image for display purposes) and compression quality.

Select the graphic to export.

Choose File > Export > Graphic.

Type a name for the exported graphic, and choose a folder in which to store the file.

Select the new format you want from the Save as Type (Windows) or Format (Mac OS) pop-up menu.

The DCS option is available as the output format only if you are using color management. See Preseparating bitmap images for more information on saving in the DCS format.

Select the Embed Profile option if the color-managed image will be used in publications on other computers which may lack that profile. Deselect the option if you want to keep file size to a minimum, if a high-fidelity profile is specified for your separations printer, or if the source image is auto-relinked to the presep-arated image and won't be re-imported elsewhere.

Click Settings and specify options as follows:

For TIFF image

For Compression, select the method you prefer. See Compressing and decompressing a TIFF image for details on PageMaker compression schemes.

For Preview (available only if you are saving for separations), choose Draft to save a low-resolution (36 dpi) screen preview with the image, Best to save a 72-dpi screen preview with the image, or Do Not Store in Image for the smallest file size.

For Data Format, choose Basic TIFF unless you are saving for separations (in which case, choose Optimize for Separation) or working with an image scanned at a very high resolution (choose Optimize for Large Image).

Select the Strict TIFF 6.0 Compliance option if you want the preseparated TIFF optimized for best compatibility with other applications. To ensure best PageMaker printing, make sure that the option is not selected.

For JPEG image

For Image Quality, choose the level you want. The higher the image quality, the lower the amount of compression. The loss of image detail caused by higher compression is permanent; you cannot resave an image with a higher level of image quality to restore the lost detail. Therefore, always preserve the original image.

For Resolution, select Image if you want to use the exported file in a publication designed for print (including PDF documents designed for on-demand printing), or Screen if the graphic is intended to be viewed online (for example, in an HTML document). If you select the Image option for images resized within PageMaker, the images may revert to their original dimensions.

For GIF89 image

For Palette and Color Depth (options available only for full-color images), choose the setting that best matches your needs. See Image compression and color on the Web for details on your choices.

For Transparency, choose White or Black if the graphic includes a white or black background and you want that background to be transparent (for example, so that an HTML document's page background color or tiled background image appears, rather than the opaque white or black area).

For Resolution, choose Image if you want to use the exported file in a publication designed for print (including PDF documents designed for on-demand printing), or Screen if the graphic is intended to be viewed online (for example, in an HTML document). If you choose the Image option for images resized within PageMaker, the images may revert to their original dimensions.

In the Caption field, type an image caption if desired. The text is included along the bottom of the exported image, overlaying the image.

Select Interlaced if the image will be included in an HTML document. Interlacing improves the speed at which GIF images display and download over the Web.

Click OK in the Settings dialog box.

Select Save Current Settings as Defaults if you intend to export additional graphics and want to apply the same settings you've applied during this procedure to those other graphics.

If it is not selected, click Link to New Image to replace the original bitmap image in the publication with the new file.

Select Save Cropped Area if you cropped the image with the cropping tool and want to retain only the cropped (visible) portion of the image.
