<strong>1.</strong> <strong>How</strong> <strong>to</strong> Wrap Text Around Text in <strong>Page</strong>Maker Difficulty Level: Easy The text wrap feature in <strong>Page</strong>Maker allows you <strong>to</strong> place graphics in a document and have the text wrap around that image. With one additional step you can also wrap text around other text blocks for effects such as pull-quotes. Here's <strong>How</strong>: <strong>1.</strong> Select the text block that you want <strong>to</strong> have other text wrap around. 2. Choose Element | Group from the menu bar. This causes <strong>Page</strong>Maker <strong>to</strong> treat that text block as a graphic. 3. With your text turned graphic selected, choose Element | Text wrap... from the menu bar. 4. From the Text Wrap dialog box select the middle icon for Wrap option (the third icon is not available initially until you've cus<strong>to</strong>mized the text wrap). 5. Choose a Text flow: With Icon 1 text s<strong>to</strong>ps at the text/graphic then continues <strong>to</strong> next page or column. Icon 2 wraps text <strong>to</strong> <strong>to</strong>p and bot<strong>to</strong>m only. Icon 3 wraps text completely around in a rectangular wrap (until you modify it). 6. If you know exactly how much space you want between text and text/graphic, make adjustments in the Standoff section, otherwise accept the default and click OK. 7. If the text doesn't wrap exactly the way you want grab one of the dotted lines representing the standoff area and pull it in closer or further away until you get the text wrap effect you want. Tips: <strong>1.</strong> Select the 'Wrap text on same layer only' box if you don't want <strong>to</strong> wrap text on other layers around the text block/graphic. 2. Allow sufficient standoff between text blocks <strong>to</strong> visually separate them, especially when there is not a large degree of difference in the type used for each text block. 3. Align the bot<strong>to</strong>m of pull-quotes with the baseline of adjacent text. 2. <strong>How</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>Insert</strong> a Drop Cap in a <strong>Page</strong>Maker Document Difficulty Level: Easy Drop caps are one variety of initial capitals -- those oversized letters used at the start of some paragraphs <strong>to</strong> catch the eye and lead the reader in<strong>to</strong> the text. Here's <strong>How</strong>: <strong>1.</strong> With the text <strong>to</strong>ol, highlight the letter you wish <strong>to</strong> make in<strong>to</strong> a drop cap. 2. Select Utilities | Plug-ins | Drop caps... from the menu bar. 3. In the Drop cap dialog box change the Size <strong>to</strong> the number of lines of text you want the letter <strong>to</strong> drop in<strong>to</strong> the paragraph (the default is 3). 4. Select Apply <strong>to</strong> see how the Drop cap will look. 5. If you don't like it, select Remove then try again. 6. When you are satisfied with your Drop cap, select the Close but<strong>to</strong>n on the Drop cap dialog box. Tips: <strong>1.</strong> If you want <strong>to</strong> use a different typeface for the Drop cap, make the changes before using the Drop cap plug-in.
<strong>1.</strong> <strong>How</strong> <strong>to</strong> Create a Bullet List in a <strong>Page</strong>Maker Document Difficulty Level: Easy A bullet list is a list of words, phrases, or sentences set apart with a simple bullet or numbers at the start of of each line. Bullet lists can help <strong>to</strong> set apart information or provide a list of steps <strong>to</strong> be taken <strong>to</strong> accomplish a task. Here's <strong>How</strong>: <strong>1.</strong> With the text <strong>to</strong>ol, highlight the lines <strong>to</strong> which you want <strong>to</strong> add bullets or numbers or put your cursor at the start of the first line (paragraph). 2. Select Utilities | Plug-ins | Bullets and numbering... from the menu bar. 3. In the Bullets and numbering dialog box select the style of bullet you want <strong>to</strong> use from the choices given or use the Edit but<strong>to</strong>n <strong>to</strong> select a different font or bullet or size for the bullet. 4. If you want a numbered list instead of bullets, select the <strong>Numbers</strong> but<strong>to</strong>n. Choose a numbering style and specify the number range <strong>to</strong> use if you don't want <strong>to</strong> start with number <strong>1.</strong> 5. If you highlight the text you want bulleted or numbered, choose Only selected paragraphs for the Range; otherwise, specify the number of paragraphs that you want bulleted. 6. Select Ok <strong>to</strong> add your selected bullet or number style. Tips: <strong>1.</strong> Be consistent in your use of bullets. Too many different styles in a publication or mixed bullets in one list are confusing. 2. <strong>Numbers</strong> are good for lists of tasks that are best done sequentially or <strong>to</strong> designate relative importance among items in the list. 2. <strong>How</strong> <strong>to</strong> Count Words and Characters in <strong>Page</strong>Maker Difficulty Level: Easy The Word Counter plug-in is a quick way <strong>to</strong> see how many words are in your entire publication or selected portions. Use it <strong>to</strong> determine copyfitting needs or <strong>to</strong> count the <strong>to</strong>tal number of s<strong>to</strong>ries that make up a publication. Here's <strong>How</strong>: <strong>1.</strong> To count all words in your publication, with no text selected choose Utilities | Plug-ins | Word Counter 2. The Word Counter dialog displays a count for Characters, Words, Sentences, Paragraphs, Text Objects, and S<strong>to</strong>ries. 3. To count words for only portions of your publication, highlight the text in a text block (or a portion of it) with the text <strong>to</strong>ol then choose Utilities | Plug-ins | Word Counter. Tips: <strong>1.</strong> Word Counter is not available from the S<strong>to</strong>ry Edi<strong>to</strong>r. 2. Character count does not include spaces but does include punctuation. Words with hyphens (such as eye-catching) count as one word. 3. If selected text contains no ending punctuation (period, question mark, exclamation) then the Word Counter will say there are no sentences in the selection.
