List of Illustrations

Chapter 1: Inside the InDesign Interface

FIGURE 1.1 The standard document window provides controls for managing documents on-screen, changing the view scale, displaying different pages, and placing objects on pages. At bottom: The Windows 7 screen is identical, except for where the window controls reside and stylistic differences between Windows and Mac OS X, such as fonts used and border designs.

FIGURE 1.2 This frame's right side is aligned with the 28-pica mark on the horizontal ruler (look for the dotted line in the ruler right above the frame's right edge). InDesign also shows the dimensions of a frame as you create it using the transformation value indicator to the lower right of the frame as it is being created.

FIGURE 1.3 InDesign's Tools panel (at left) has 31 tools available, but many are hidden in pop-out menus (shown at center). You can see a tool's name by hovering the mouse over it to get a Tool Tip (at right). The Marker tool (at bottom left) appears after you've used the Eyedropper tool; it cannot be selected in the Tools panel directly.
