Selection tool Master Page Objects In QuarkXPress, any object on a master page can immediately be selected and changed on a document page. InDesign protects master-page objects from accidental changes. Master-page objects have dotted, rather than solid, edges. To select a master object on a document page, you must override it by pressing Shift+Command (Mac OS) or Shift+Ctrl (Windows), and then clicking the object. You can also choose Override All Master Page Items from the Pages panel menu. If you want to prevent a master object from being selected on a document page, select the object on the master page, and then deselect Allow Master Item Overrides On Selection in the Pages panel menu. Text Leading InDesign treats leading as a character attribute, not a paragraph attribute. Leading controls are displayed in the Character panel (Type > Character) and also in the Control panel when Tip: You can quickly choose any tool in the Tools panel by pressing a single key, such as P for the Pen tool or T for the Type tool. (Be sure that you don’t have an active insertion point in a text frame, or you’ll simply type the letter.)

The Document Window While at first glance InDesign may appear very different from Quark XPress, many of the features are actually similar. Take a moment to get acquainted with the location of panels, menus, and document controls in the image below. Here are some tips for managing the panels you’ll be working with: ■■Workspaces remember the location of each panel onscreen, including whether it’s visible or hidden. You can choose among preset workspaces from the Workspace menu on the Application Bar or create your own. ■■You can dock a panel to the edge of your screen by dragging its tab to the left or right edge. ■■When the insertion point is not blinking, press Tab to show or hide all panels, or press Shift+Tab to show or hide all panels except the Tools panel and the Control panel. ■■Drag the resize bar toward the edge of the screen to collapse a stack and display icons. When you widen a stack, icons and labels are displayed. The Application bar makes controls easily accessible. Adobe Bridge Zoom level All panels are listed in the Window menu. Choose a workspace.
