tip: fLOwIng tEXt In InDEsIgn InDesign provides four methods for flowing text: • To flow text manually, move the loaded text icon within an existing frame or path, and then click. The text stops flowing at the bottom of the frame or at the last of a series of linked frames. You can also click an empty area within column guides to create a new text frame that’s as wide as the column. If you click and drag the loaded text icon, you create a new frame that’s the size of the rectangle you drag. If additional text remains to be placed, click the out port, and continue manually flowing text. Use the glyphs panel to display all the characters available for any font. this example shows alternate characters for the letter m in the warnock® Pro font. If you double-click a glyph in the glyphs panel, it is inserted at the insertion point or replaces a selected letter. 36 Adobe InDesign CS3 | Conversion guide • To flow text semiautomatically, hold down Option in Mac OS or Alt in Windows, and then click a page or a frame. Semiautoflow works like manual text flow, except that the pointer automatically becomes a loaded text icon each time the end of a frame is reached. • To flow text automatically and generate new pages to hold all of the text, hold down the Shift key, and either click the loaded text icon inside a text frame that is based on a master text frame or on an empty area within a column. • To flow text automatically but not generate new pages, hold down Shift+Option in Mac OS or Shift+Alt in Windows. OpenType® support. InDesign was the first page layout program to unlock the full potential of OpenType fonts with support for multilingual and alternate glyphs. InDesign can set type in Cyrillic, Greek, Arabic, and other double-byte alphabets supported by OpenType. It also automatically inserts alternate glyphs, including oldstyle numbers, fractions, ligatures, and swashes. You can work with OpenType settings using the OpenType command in the Character or Control panel menu, and you can save OpenType settings with character and paragraph styles. The Glyphs panel. The Glyphs panel (Type > Glyphs) lets you display all the glyphs in OpenType and other fonts, with the option to display sets of related characters within a font. For all fonts, the Show menu includes options for displaying punctuation, numbers, math symbols, and currency, among others, while OpenType fonts can include additional options, such as numerators, denominators, discretionary ligatures, and ornaments. A list of recently used glyphs is displayed along the top of the panel.
Glyph sets. You can save your most frequently used glyphs as a glyph set, which can include glyphs from one or more fonts. Because glyph sets are saved in a separate XML file, you can share them with other InDesign users. Insert special characters. The Insert Special Character command (Type > Insert Special Character) displays five submenus—Symbols, Markers, Hyphens And Dashes, Quotation Marks, and Others—that let you quickly insert any of 47 special characters, including automatic page number characters, dashes, hyphens, and quotation marks. Commands for entering special characters are also available in the context menu. Style groups. You can shorten character style and paragraph style lists, and keep related styles together, by creating style groups. Change case. The Change Case menu (Type > Change Case) lets you quickly create uppercase, lowercase, title case, and sentence case text. Stroke text. You can create special typographic effects, such as outline type and pseudo-bold, by adding a stroke to text characters. Use the Stroke panel (Window > Stroke) to add a stroke to selected text and to specify the width of the stroke. Text remains editable after you add a stroke. Apply Photoshop effects to text. You can create additional special effects for type by applying one or more Photoshop effects (Window > Effects) to text frames. what’s the easiest way for me to work with text? InDesign provides a Story Editor (Edit > Edit In Story Editor), which offers built-in word processing support. The Story Editor is especially useful for working with small text, overset text, and long stories that span several pages. You can view changes in the layout as you make them in the Story Editor. You can customize how the Story Editor displays text by adjusting the settings in the Story Editor Display pane of the Preferences dialog box (InDesign > Preferences > Story Editor Display in Mac OS or Edit > Preferences > Story Editor Display in Windows). The overset text indicator in the Story Editor lets you see what text the story Editor (Edit > Edit In story Editor) provides a word processing environment for working with the text in an InDesign layout, showing precisely how much text is overset. does not fit within a text frame without having to refer to the layout. Overset text is indicated by a vertical red line along the left margin and a horizontal divider line. Does InDesign let me drag and drop text? You can drag and drop text between text frames, document views, layout windows, Story Editor windows, and documents. Enable or disable dragand-drop text editing for layout view or the Story Editor in the Type pane of the Preferences dialog box. To drag and drop text, select it, and then click and drag it to a new location. To copy rather than move text, click on selected text, and then press Option in Mac OS or Alt in Windows as you drag it to a new location. To create a new text frame, click on selected text, and press Command in Mac OS or Ctrl in Windows as you drag it. To create a new frame and copy text into it, press Command+Option in Mac OS or Ctrl+Alt in Windows. Press the Shift Text and Typography 37
