Design for print: session 2



Consistent & efficient approach to large format InDesign folders.
Text formatting.
Formatting paragraphs of text.


To show how the text has been formatted before:



When formatting text always have hidden characters 
turned on.  Useful for collaborating.  i.e.  SPUR publication.

Working with space between paragraphs:

















Double check, then click 'change all' if applicable.

No need to select text.  Works within the whole paragraph. 
Anything applied works with whole paragraph.















Indent:




Drop Caps:





Inverted text:







   'Keep options.':   
        BODY TEXT WOULD NEVER BE SEPARATE FROM THE HEADING.    
        - remember for SPUR publication.    


Tabs; tabbing; tab tab tab:

Standard tab: left alligned.







   SOFT RETURN:   
   next line formatting.  Still stay within the same paragraph.   
   SHIFT + RETURN   






Save formatting as a paragraph style:
Essentially a shortcut for long text files.





Apply shortcut.  In this case:
cmd + num 1.
  - allows for global changes across document.
