QuarkXPress to Adobe InDesign CS4 Conversion Guide

Navigating Documents
InDesign offers many of the same methods for document navigation
you’ve become accustomed to in QuarkXPress. Even better, it includes several
features that let you navigate more quickly to the page you want to display,
zoom in more closely on the area you want to work on, and see more clearly
the objects you want to modify.
Navigating around a Page
Besides the scroll bars on the side
and bottom of each document window,
there are several ways to pan
around a page, or even from one
page to another:
■■
The Hand tool lets you adjust the
visible portion of the page within
the document window. You can
temporarily access the Hand tool
(and scroll the page) by pressing
Option+spacebar (Mac OS) or
Alt+spacebar (Windows).
■■
Holding down the mouse button
with the Hand tool selected for
about one second invokes the
Power Zoom mode, zooming out
to show you the current spread.
The red rec tangle indicates the area
you will see when you release the
mouse button. Drag this rectangle
to a different location or use the
arrow keys on your keyboard (or
scroll wheel) to change its size.
You can also zoom in and out by
choosing one of the magnification
commands in the View menu,
using the Zoom tool, or specifying a
percentage in the Zoom field in the
Application Bar (if currently visible).
Navigating from Page to Page
Like QuarkXPress, InDesign provides
a keyboard command—
Command+J in Mac OS or Ctrl+J in
Windows—that lets you quickly navigate
to a particular page. When you
use this keyboard shortcut, the Go
To Page dialog box is displayed. Type
