14 Little-Known InDesign Tips

14 Little-Known InDesign Tips

Thursday Oct 16-2015

With each new version of InDesign (or any Creative Suite product), we usually hear about its new features and start using them right away. However, there are always features that don’t make it into the marketing materials. So, I’m going to cover 14 InDesign features you may not know about.
1 MULTIPLACE FROM BRIDGE
Although you can use File>Place in InDesign or simply drag-and-drop images into your InDesign document, I find it much easier to bring in multiple images at once. Open Adobe Bridge, select the images you want to use in your layout, and choose File>Place>In InDesign. This will automatically switch you to InDesign and give you a loaded place cursor to insert your selected images. Use the Arrow keys to cycle through the images in the cursor and simply click to place them. Then use the Object>Fitting options, if necessary.

2 GO BETWEEN CHARACTER AND PARAGRAPH
To toggle between Character and Paragraph Formatting Controls (located in the Control panel), press Command-Option-7 (PC: Ctrl-Alt-7). Doing this right from the keyboard without having to reach for your mouse is very handy for verifying settings while in a text frame.

3 AUTOMATIC CONTINUED ON AND FROM
If you start text on one page and then continue it on another page, chances are you’re going to want to have “continued on page [xx]” or a “continued from page [xx].” InDesign can manage this for you automatically. Select the Type tool (T) and create a new text frame. Once created, drag the new text frame to touch the original text frame. In the new text frame, type “continued on page [leave a space]” or “continued from page [space].” Go to Type>Insert Special Character>Markers>Next Page Number (or Previous Page Number.) Then InDesign will automatically insert a dynamic number.

4 CREATE AUTOCORRECT MACROS
I often have to type Adobe Systems, Inc., so I set up an Autocorrect entry that automatically corrects ADBE to Adobe Systems, Inc. Go to InDesign (PC: Edit)>Preferences>Autocorrect. In the Preferences dialog, click the Enable Autocorrect checkbox and click the Add button to bring up the Add to Autocorrect List dialog. In the Misspelled Word field, type “ADBE” and then in the Correction field, type “Adobe Systems, Inc.” Click OK. Click OK again and now every time you type ADBE, InDesign will autocorrect it to Adobe Systems, Inc.

5 TEXT WRAP ONLY AFFECTS TEXT BENEATH
One of the most frustrating things that new InDesign users run into is when they try to place a caption on top of a photo that has text wrap on it. By default, text wrap also tries to text wrap your caption. Luckily there’s a one-click fix. Go to InDesign (PC: Edit)>Preferences>Composition. Enable the Text Wrap Only Affects Text Beneath checkbox and click OK. Now you can place text on top of your images with the text wrap where you want it.

6 COMPOUND PATH FRAMES
Everyone knows that you can place a single image in a single frame. However, few know that you can actually place a single image in multiple frames for a visual effect. Select the Rectangle, Ellipse, or Polygon Frame tool and create two or more frames. Choose the Selection tool (V) and Shift-click each frame. Choose Objects>Paths>Make Compound Paths. Go to File>Place, select the image of your choice, and click Open. InDesign will automatically place the image inside your new frames.

7 CONVERT SHAPE
It never fails. You create a rectangular frame for your image and then you decide that you’d like to see how it would look in an ellipse. There’s no need to start over. Go to Object>Convert Shape and choose the shape of your choice. InDesign will convert your existing shape into the one you want.

8 MATH IN THE CONTROL PANEL
Let’s say you have a frame with an image in it on the page and you know that it would probably fit better if it were 1.25″ bigger. No worries. In the Width field up in the Control panel, type +1.25 next to the existing size. When you’re done, press Tab or Return (PC: Enter) and InDesign will do the math for you to adjust the size of your frame. You can also use different operations, such as subtraction (–), multiplication (*), and division (/).

9 COPY EFFECTS TO ANOTHER OBJECT
If you’ve spent a bunch of time creating the perfect effect on an object and then decided that you want that exact same effect settings on a different object, my first advice would be to create an object style (Window>Object Styles). However, if it’s a one-time thing then it may be easier to copy the effects to the other object. Select the object you want to copy, then open the Effects panel (Window>Effects). Click-and-drag the Object effects icon (fx) onto your new object. Release your cursor and both of your objects will have the same effects.

10 STORY EDITOR SHOWS OVERSET TEXT
When you’re doing layout, more times than not you’re going to place text into your document and there will be more text than fits your design. However, the real question is how much more text is there. You can find this out quickly and easily by bringing up the Story Editor from Edit>Edit in Story Editor (or Command-Y [PC: Ctrl-Y]). Look for the red line to the left of your text. Everything next to this line is overset text.

11 CONTROL YOUR PHOTOSHOP LAYERS
It’s great that InDesign can place and output layered Photoshop files, but what makes it even better is that you can turn on and off layers in that placed PSD directly within InDesign. You can even have the same PSD in your document multiple times with different layers turned on and off for different looks. Go to File>Place, navigate to your PSD, and click Open. Now choose Object>Object Layer Options and in the dialog that appears, turn on Preview, and click the Eye icon on and off next to the desired layer to control visibility.

12 PLACE INDESIGN DOCS IN INDESIGN
One of the most powerful collaboration features in InDesign is the ability to place InDesign documents into other InDesign documents. This means that you could be working on one master document while your colleagues work on other sections. Once they’re done, you can place their InDesign documents into yours as you would any other graphics (File;Place). If you need to edit the placed InDesign document, choose Edit;Edit original.

13 ROTATE YOUR SPREADS
I often get the question, “Can InDesign do vertical spreads for say a calendar layout?” The answer is no; however, now you can do a typical left and right spread, and rotate your spreads by 90° to make it easier to lay out your content. This way you can still lay out the calendar as it would look, but it would still be a left and right spread on the press. To rotate your spreads go to View>Rotate Spread and make your selection from the list.

14 CUSTOMIZE YOUR LINKS PANEL
The Links panel (Window>Links) has always been useful; however, in InDesign CS4 it became much more customizable to show you not only more info about your links, but exactly and only the information that you want to see. Click the Links panel’s flyout menu and select Panel Options. Click on the checkboxes of the info that you want to see in the Links panel, and click OK to apply your changes.

Prepare, publish, and maintain your Publisher Web site

After you plan and create a Web publication in Microsoft Office Publisher 2007, you can publish it to the Web, a network server, or a shared folder on your own computer. Whatever the destination, Publisher creates filtered HTML files from the Web publication. You can open and read these HTML files in any Web browser, such as Windows Internet Explorer.

In this article

This article covers the procedures for creating and publishing your Web publication as HTML files and for updating your Web site by editing the Web publication and republishing it.

Prepare your Web site

Publish your Web site

Maintain your Web site

Prepare your Web site

Your Web site is an extension of you, your business, and your business branding. Before you create your Web site, plan it. For help with doing so, see the article Plan your Web site.

What is the best tool?

As you plan your site and the information that it will provide, consider which authoring tool is right for your needs. Office Publisher 2007 is an excellent authoring tool to use when you want to quickly create, publish, and manage simple, static Web sites that match your business brand and that require revisions of only text and graphics. Office Publisher 2007 is not the appropriate tool in the following cases:

• If your Web site needs interactivity or database-driven content, so that visitors can respond in a Web log (blog) or purchase items in a shopping cart
  
• If your Web site requires data validation, such as for verifying credit card numbers
  
• If you expect to later alter the raw HTML code in an HTML editor after you create your Web site in Office Publisher 2007, which combines HTML, XML, and VML code to produce Web sites
  

For basic Web hosting and online site authoring, Microsoft Office Live may be the right tool for you. For information, go to the Microsoft Office Live Web site.
For interactive Web sites, the Microsoft Expression Web provides tools for producing data-rich, standards-based Web sites. For information, go to the Microsoft Expression Web site.

Create your Web site

You can create a new Web publication in Office Publisher 2007. If you want to work on an existing Web site for which you have no Web publication, you can copy and paste content from the published Web pages into a new Web publication, which recreates the Web site as a Web publication, or you can use an HTML editing tool.

1. On the File menu, click New.
   
2. In the Publication Types list, click Web Sites.
   
3. Do one of the following:
   
   • To create a custom Web site that is based on your site goals, make sure that Use Easy Web Wizard, in the Options task pane, is selected, and then click the design that you want.
     
   • To create a Web site from scratch, under Web Sites, click Blank Sizes, and then click the size that you want.
     
4. Click Create.
   
5. If you chose to use the Easy Web Wizard, select the options that you want in the Easy Web Site Builder dialog box, and then click OK.
   
6. Add content to your publication, and make any changes that you want.
   Tip   Avoid placing objects on master pages in your Web publication. Objects that are placed on Office Publisher 2007 master pages do not display correctly when they are viewed in some Web browsers.
   

Check your Web publication

Before you publish your Web site, check to make sure that the site will work as you expect and that you have addressed all possible issues that may arise.
You can look for problems by using the Design Checker and previewing your site.

Use the Design Checker to find and fix problems

The Design Checker is a powerful tool for finding potential problems. Many of its checks are for basic formatting issues. However, some checks are specifically for issues that may affect Web publications. To run the Design Checker, do the following:

1. On the Tools menu, click Design Checker.
   
2. In the Design Checker task pane, select the Run general design checks and Run web site checks check boxes.
   Note   Make sure that the Run commercial printing checks check box is not selected.
   
3. In the Design Checker task pane, under Select an item to fix, click the arrow next to the item that you want to fix, and then do one of the following:
   
   • Click Automatic fix to automatically fix the problem with the item.
     The automatic fix will vary, depending on the problem. In most cases, no automatic fix is available.
     
   • Click Go to this Item to go to the page where the selected problem item is located.
     You can then correct the problem by making any necessary changes.
     
   • Click Explain to open a Help topic that more fully explains the problem and offers suggestions about how to fix it.
     
   • Click Never Run this Check Again to turn off the check.
     Clicking this option affects all instances of the problem.
     

Preview your Web site

• On the File menu, click Web Page Preview.
  

Your Web site will preview in your default browser. Check the preview for the following:

• The site opens and all pages are accessible.
  
• All hyperlinks work as expected.
  
• Navigation controls work as expected.
  
• No elements are missing.
  
• Any background sounds play as expected.
  

Find a Web hosting service

Before you can publish your Web site on the Web, you need to subscribe to a Web hosting service that is provided by an Internet service provider (ISP). This service will provide you with Internet access, storage space on a Web server, and a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) so people can access your Web site. Before you publish your Web site, contact your ISP or system administrator to get the information that you need and the URL of the Web site or the address of the FTP site where you can save files.
Several ISPs are probably available in your area. Make sure that the ISP that you subscribe to offers the kind of support that you want. If you have little experience in publishing to the Web, you may want an ISP that can help you through any potential issues.

Publish your Web site

After you check and preview your Web publication and subscribe to a Web hosting service, you are ready to publish your Web site.
You can publish a Web site to a Web server, a network server, a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server, or a folder on your own computer.
Publishing your site to a location on your computer can serve several purposes:

• You can use the published files to test your Web site before you make the files available on the Web.
  
• You can use an FTP utility to publish the files to the Web by uploading them from the file location on your computer.
  
• You keep a local copy of the HTML files as well as the Web publication.
  

Your ISP can provide you with information that will help you decide the publishing method that is best for you.
Whether you publish to the Web or to your computer, Office Publisher 2007 assembles all the related files that it creates in a single folder. The files that Office Publisher 2007 creates include the other HTML pages that make up your site, GIF and JPEG graphics that you use on your pages, and any files for embedded sounds.
You can set up Office Publisher 2007 to organize these files in the folder where you publish your Web site in one of two ways. By default, Office Publisher 2007 creates a single home page and a subfolder that contains all the supporting files that are needed for your Web site. Or you can organize the home page with all the supporting files for your Web site in a single folder.
How do I control where Office Publisher 2007 organizes the Web site files it publishes?
On the Tools menu, click Options, click the Web tab, and then do one of the following:

• To separate the home page from the supporting files, select the Organize supporting files in a folder check box.
  
• To group the home page and all the supporting files in the same folder, clear the Organize supporting files in a folder check box.
  

When you publish a publication to the Web, Office Publisher 2007 creates filtered HTML files, which propagate to the Web more quickly than unfiltered HTML files. Because the filtered HTML files that Office Publisher 2007 creates contain no Microsoft Office–specific tags, you can't open the HTML files in Office Publisher 2007 and edit them. You must make changes to your Web site in the Web publication and then republish the site to the Web.

Publish a Web site to a location on the Internet or a network

Before following this procedure, contact your ISP or system administrator to get the information that you need to publish and the URL of the Web site where you can save files.

1. On the File menu, click Publish to the Web.
   
2. In the Publish to the Web dialog box, in the File name box, type the URL of the Web or network server where you want to save your Web site. For example, type http://www.northwindtraders.com.
   
3. Click Save.
   
4. If prompted, type your user name and password, and then click OK.
   The directory that is associated with your URL will appear in the Publish to the Web dialog box.
   
5. Double-click the folder where you want to save your Web site.
   
6. In the File name box, select index as the default name for your home page, and then click Save.
   Note   Index.htm is the default selection. Selecting index as the name of your home page makes it easier to access and prevents users from viewing a list of the files that make up your Web site.
   
7. When prompted, click OK.
   

Publish a Web site by using FTP

Before following this procedure, contact your ISP or system administrator to get the information that you need to publish to an FTP site. You also have to create an FTP site in FTP Locations.
How?
Before you can add an FTP site to the list in FTP Locations, you must have access to the Internet or to an intranet.
In Windows Vista

1. On the File menu, click Publish to the Web.
   
2. In the Publish to the Web dialog box, click Tools, and then click Map Network Drive.
   
3. In the Map Network Drive dialog box, do the following:
   
   • In the Drive list, click a drive letter. You can choose any available letter.
     
   • To connect every time that you log on to your computer, select the Reconnect at logon check box.
     
   • Click Connect to a Web site that you can use to store your documents and pictures.
     
4. In the Add Network Location Wizard, click Next, click Choose a custom network location, and then click Next.
   
5. In the Internet or network address box, type the address of the FTP site (for example, type ftp://ftp.microsoft.com), and then click Next.
   Note   If you cannot connect to a network drive or folder, the computer might be turned off or you might not have the correct permissions. If you can't connect, contact your network administrator or ISP.
   
6. If you do not want to log on anonymously, clear the Log on anonymously check box, type a user name in the User name box, and then click Next.
   
7. Type a name for this network location, and then click Next.
   
8. Click Finish.
   

In Microsoft Windows XP

1. On the File menu, click Publish to the Web.
   
2. In the Save in list, click the arrow, and then click FTP Locations.
   
3. Double-click Add/Modify FTP Locations.
   
4. In the Name of FTP site box, type the FTP site name. For example, type ftp.microsoft.com.
   
5. Do one of the following:
   
   • If you want to log on to an FTP site that allows anonymous logon, under Log on as, click Anonymous.
     
   • If you want to log on to an FTP site that you have user permissions for, under Log on as, click User, and then type your password in the Password box.
     
6. Click Add.
   
7. Click OK.
   

1. On the File menu, click Publish to the Web.
   
2. In the Save in list, click FTP Locations.
   
3. In the list of FTP sites, double-click the site that you want, and then double-click the folder where you want to publish your Web site.
   Note   If your ISP requires you to use a specific program to upload your Web site, or if you are publishing your Web site to a corporate intranet, you may need to save a version of your Web site in a specific HTML file format and follow a different procedure to publish your Web site. Ask your ISP or your system administrator for information about how to save and publish your Web site.
   

Publish a Web site to a folder on your computer

In Windows Vista

1. On the File menu, click Publish to the Web.
   
2. In the Address bar, click the drive or folder where you want to publish your Web site, such as your Documents folder.
   Note   If you want to add your Web site to a new folder, click New Folder on the toolbar to create a new folder, type a name for the new folder, and then press ENTER.
   
3. In the File name box, select index as the default name for your home page, and then click Save.
   Note   Index.htm is the default selection. Selecting index as the name of your home page makes it easier to access and prevents users from viewing a list of the files that make up your Web site.
   

In Windows XP

1. On the File menu, click Publish to the Web.
   
2. In the Save in list, click the drive or folder where you want to publish your Web site, such as your My Documents folder.
   Note   If you want to add your Web site to a new folder, right-click where you want to add a new folder, select New, click Folder to create a new folder, type a name for the new folder in the Name box, and then click Open.
   
3. In the File name box, select index as the default name for your home page, and then click Save.
   Note   Index.htm is the default selection. Selecting index as the name of your home page makes it easier to access and prevents users from viewing a list of the files that make up your Web site.

Maintain your Web site

After you publish your Web site, you can update it as needed to reflect new information. However, you cannot open the filtered HTML files in Publisher. You must open the original Web publication, make the changes that you want, and then republish your site to the Web.
Note   You should not try to update the Filtered HTML files by using a text editor, such as Microsoft Notepad or Microsoft WordPad. Even though it is possible to do this, Publisher-generated HTML is very complex, and you will probably find it hard to edit it by hand. For best results, always update your Publisher Web site by using the Web publication and then republish it to the Web.

Publish only what has changed

In Office Publisher 2007, you can publish updates to a previously published Web site quickly by using incremental publish to the Web, which publishes only those pages that you have updated. If you plan to update your Web site often, or if your Web site is large and complex, incremental publish to the Web can speed up the task of updating your Web site.
If you make changes to your Web site directly on a Web server outside of Office Publisher 2007, however, turning on incremental publish to the Web may prevent you from publishing subsequent updates to your Web site by using the Publish to the Web command. If you plan to manage your Web site files directly on the Web server (such as through a separate FTP program), you should turn off incremental publish to the Web.
Note   Incremental publish to the Web is turned on by default in Publisher.

Turn incremental publish to the Web on or off

1. On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Web tab.
   
2. Under Saving, do one of the following:
   
   • To turn off incremental publish to the Web, clear the Enable incremental publish to the Web check box.
     
   • To turn on incremental publish to the Web, select the Enable incremental publish to the Web check box.
     

Publish changes to your Web site

Publishing updates to a Web site is slightly different from publishing a Web site for the first time. After you publish a Web site to a location on the Web or a network, a shortcut to the Web server or network server appears in My Network Places.

In Windows Vista

1. On the File menu, click Publish to the Web.
   
2. In the Publish to the Web dialog box, in the navigation pane, click Computer.
   
3. In the file list, double-click the shortcut to the folder on the Web server or network server where you published your Web site.
   
4. Double-click the folder where you want to save the file.
   
5. In the File name box, type the name of the file you are updating, and then click Save.
   

In Windows XP

1. On the File menu, click Publish to the Web.
   
2. In the Publish to the Web dialog box, click My Network Places.
   
3. Double-click the shortcut to the folder on the Web server or network server where you published your Web site.
   
4. Double-click the folder where you want to save the file.

10 Useful Android Tips And Tricks You Should Know

• Android—
• Mobiles

Whether you are new to android and eager to try out every available option you see on the screen, or familiar with the system, including the annoyances that plague you on a daily basis, tips and tricks to get around a system is always helpful. We are here to help you with that.

In this post, we are featuring 10 useful Android tips and tricks that may improve your experience while using your Android device. Do note that the steps may vary a little from one Android phone to another due to the differences in the build and the OS version, but if you play around with it, the next step isn’t too far off.

1. Disable App Notifications

Bugged by annoying app notifications that just keep coming? If you don’t know already, these app notifications also drain your phone’s battery. If you want to turn them off, and you are on Jelly Bean 4.1 and above, here’s how:

1. On any of your unwanted notifications in your notification bar, long press on the notification for a message box to appear.
2. Tap on App Info > Untick Show Notifications > OK.

2. Disable Mobile Data

Whenever you don’t need to stay connected, disabling the Mobile Data can help keep your smartphone battery from draining too quickly. Turning off mobile data is as easy as:

1. Going to Settings > Data Usage.
2. Disable Mobile data by toggling the setting from ON to OFF.

3. Set Mobile Data Limit

Want to keep track of how far your usage is from your monthly mobile data limit? If you have ICS and above, there is a feature which lets you keep track of how much of the quota you have left.

1. Head over to Settings > Data Usage.
2. Set your data limit by dragging the orange line to reflect your monthly quota.
3. Set your data usage cycle based on when your "month" starts and ends, and you’re done.

You will be alerted once you hit the limit you have set. Note that the tracked data usage of your phone may vary slightly than your carrier’s tracking.

4. Add Multiple Google Accounts

You need a Google account to use an Android phone but did you know you can choose to run more than one Google account on your Android device. This is convenient if you use more than one account for several of your Google services. To add multiple Google accounts:

1. Go to Settings > Add account.
2. Select Google and setup your New or Existing Google account.
3. Once added, choose what you want to sync with the account.

Repeat all the steps above if you want to add more accounts.

5. Disable automatic App Updates

Prefer to read through app permissions and manually pick which app updates to adopt? You can, but first you need to disable your automatic app updates. Here are the steps:

1. Open Play Store and head over to Settings.
2. Tap on Auto-update apps.
3. Choose Do not auto-update apps.

If you want to enable the auto updates, follow the same path and choose Auto-update apps at any time or via Wi-Fi (available for certain Android devices only).

To update your apps manually, just open Play Store, and on the main page swipe in from the left and tap on My apps. You can tap on apps with pending updates and update them manually, or if you like to update them all at once, just tap on Update All.

6. How To Check For android System updates

For Android users that are using stock ROM, you may want to look for new updates to your system. To check for updates:

1. Go to Settings > About phone/tablet.
2. Tap on System updates.
3. Tap Check now to look for system updates.

7. Changing Default Apps

If you have already set some default apps for particular tasks (e.g. using Chrome for opening web links) but wish to change this:

1. Go to Settings > Apps.
2. Swipe right and look for the All tab.
3. Select the app you want to remove as default.
4. Tap on Clear defaults.

8. Organize Homescreen Shortcuts With Folders

Once you have a lot of apps installed, your homescreen might be filled with app shortcuts. Unlike the app drawer, the apps on your home screen are not arranged alphabetically. So, you might want to create some folders for your homescreen shortcuts.

1. Assuming you have more than a handful of shortcuts already on your homescreen, long press on any of the shortcuts and drag it onto another shortcut.
2. A circle should now appear around the apps, indicating that a folder has been created.
3. By tapping on the newly created folder, a mini window will pop up with your apps in it.
4. You can drag and drop additional apps into the folder if you like. You can also rename the folder by tapping on the text area at the bottom of the mini window.

9. Disable Animations

Here’s a tip on how to make your Android device run a bit smoother: disable its animations. You will need to have access to Developer Options which can be found under Settings or About device.
Note: For some phones, you may need to go to Build number and tap on it repeatedly until you see "You are now a developer!". Developer options are now enabled.
Under enabled Developer options, look for Window animation scale, Transition animation scale, and Animator duration scale. Then, turn them off (disable) them one at a time.

10. How to Turn Off Auto-Correction

Hate the fact that your phone is going English teacher mode on you? Turn off auto-correction for peace of mind when texting.

1. Go to Settings > Language & input.
2. Tap on the settings icon next to the keyboard that you are using, e.g. Google Keyboard.
3. Look for Auto-correction and tap on it.
4. Select Off to turn auto-correction off.
