Using Master Pages
We will have 1 or 2
A Master page is really just a template for the layout of the document pages.
Will create a 5 page document with:
• 3 spreads (a spread is how many pages you can see at a time, one or two),
• By default, there are two master pages…one applied to odd numbered pages (aka. right facing), a second for even numbered (aka.left facing) pages.
• Start InDesign
• Reset Essentials workspace
Check Preferences
• Edit>Preferences>Units and Increments and set Origin to Page, and inches for Ruler units
[pic]
Origin: Page. This way, each page’s ruler will go from 0” to 8.5.If you choose spread, the ruler line will go from 0”-17”
[pic]
• Click OK
Note: You can later switch origin to spread, or to page. Right-click the ruler and choose the origin you want:
• Choose Ruler per page or Ruler per spread
Start a new Document
• File>New>Document,
• Or choose New Document from the opening screen:
[pic]
Values:
• 5 pages
• .5” margins (the default)
• Click the Facing Pages check box
• One column
• Other defaults are OK
[pic]
• Click OK
• Ctrl- to zoom out (ctrl-) and view all three spreads:
[pic]
• Window>Pages to open the Pages panel, or click Pages panel icon:
[pic]
Then:
[pic]
Shows three Spreads , and two Master pages
Has cover page (page 1...think magazine cover) and two, 2-page spreads, the pages face each other
We have right…odd… (pages 1,3,5) and left facing pages (2 and 4)
Outside the document is a scratch area. Put items there might need later, like a logo
Open these panels:
• Transform
(Window>Object and Layout>Transform)
• Window>Type and Table>Character
• Window>Type and Table> Paragraph
• Window>Layers
• Dock Character and Paragraph panels
[pic]
Be sure Pages panel open also
We can view:
• a single page (click the page in the Pages Panel ) to turn it blue)
[pic]
• Or we can view a spread (click the numbers )
• To view single page after selecting it: View>Fit Page in Window
• To view a spread after selecting it in the Pages panel: View>Fit Spread in Window
• In the Pages panel, double click the 2-3 spread...both pages should turn blue/gray.
[pic]
And the first 2-page spread shows up (Or View>Fit Spread in Window):
[pic]
• Look at the rulers…the horizontal ruler goes from 0-8.5” on each page.
[pic]
This is because we chose Page as origin option. What if we had selected Spread: the Rulers would go 0”-17”
Look at the Master page area:
[pic]
If we put something in the A Master, right page, that content will show in every right facing (odd) pages 1,3, and 5...
To add something to a regular page (i.e. NOT a Master), select the page and add content, as we did in the single-page module.
Goal: Add a small Text Frame at the top of Page 1, against the right margin…2”down ,as you can see below
[pic]
The Steps
• Select Page 1:
[pic]
• Turns blue
• View>Fit Page in Window
• Select the text frame tool
• To help position the text frame in the x direction, select any reference point on the right side of the Transform panel: upper right corner best)
[pic]
• Draw the text frame (box).
[pic]
Transform Settings:
Need (x,y) and H,W values
• X value calculation: 8.5 inches for width of page, and - .5 for margin, so right edge of text box should be 8 inches…x=8.0
• Choose any reference point along the top row. (Mine was already selected)
• Want the top of the box to be down 2”, so Y=2”
• Size: W:4.5”, H:1”
[pic]
Summary:
H: 1 W=4.5 X=8”, Y=2
Your Transform palette should have these values
[pic]
Note: You will later add a title at the top of each page via a master page. That’s why we started the text frame 2” down.
General Rule: On right-facing pages, push stuff to the right (chapter titles, page numbers,…). Opposite for left-facing pages
Think of a book…the page numbers on the left side align left, and vice versa for pages on the right..
Inside the text frame, on page 1, type:
“This is Page 1”
• Change font (to Trajan Pro), size 24 points…
o Can use Control bar or the Character panel
[pic]
Or use Control bar:
[pic]
Use the Paragraph panel to right-justify the text inside the text frame…Page 1 is a right-facing page
[pic]
We’re going to add content to the remaining odd numbered pages (3,5)
Click the Selection tool (black arrow) to exit text mode
• Or, choose Edit>Deselect All
Goal: Create content for Page #3; and Page # 5 using copy, Paste in Place
• Select the Text frame you just created (on Page 1)
• Edit >Copy
Select Page 3
• Edit>Paste in Place
• Change the text to say This is Page 3
Goal: Page # 5 Content
• Repeat the paste in place process
[pic]
Even Pages Next..can’t use Paste in Place: We want this text to be left-justified
Page # 2
Just do a regular Copy/Paste
• Select the box on Page 1, Ctrl-C, then switch to Page 2, (Double-click on Page 2 symbol) and Paste (Ctrl-V)
• The text box appears in the middle of the page. We need to reposition it….
Transform:
• Select any reference point along the left side of the reference points and specify x=.5, y=2 :
[pic]
Left-justify the text inside the box
• Change the page to say Page 2:
• Use the paragraph panel to left-justify the text inside the box for page 2
[pic]
• Repeat the copy/paste in place process for Page # 4 (ie, copy from page 2, Edit>paste in place on page 4)
• Zoom out to see entire pasteboard
[pic]
• Now, select the 2-3 spread (double-click), and choose View>Fit Spread in Window
[pic]
• If text too small to display, shows Greeking instead…
Review: we have 5 pages, each with a text box filled with varying kinds of text
Save as Multipage.indd
Master page concept
Goal: Show the same content on every page via a master page
Can have several master pages…default is two pages (Ignore the “none” master)
[pic]
• Masters are created/modified in top section of the pages palette, as you can see above
• See the “A” on each page?…means the A-Master is being applied automatically
Goal: Add a title at the top of every page
• Double-click the A-master words
[pic]
• Shows two blank master pages
We will start with a single master page; i.e.delete one we don’t need.
• Right-click the A-Master label,
o Choose Master Options for A- Master:
[pic]
Enter values below:
[pic]
For now, we’re going to use only one master page, not two. We don’t HAVE to have a master for left and a separate one for right facing pages
• Change the Name to Master Title
• Change Number of pages to 1
• Clicked OK
• Should see:
[pic]
• View the Master full-screen—double-click on the blue page icon, or View>Fit Page in Window
Looks like any other page
• You are going to add a text frame at the top of the Master Title master page.
InDesign will automatically assign the revised master to every page that uses that master (“A”). . . i.e. all of them
• Create a new text frame at the very top of the Master
1.25 inches tall, 7.5”wide (extend from margin to margin )
Upper left reference values:
• X=.5
• Y=.5
• H:.1.25
• W:7.5
Why are x,y = .5?, not zero?
Paper is 8 ½ inches wide; and we have a left and right margin of .5 inches, leaving 7.5 (Width)
[pic]
• Type: This is my title
• Change font to Trajan Pro , size 36 points
[pic]
• In the Paragraph panel, click left Align
[pic]
• Want to leave some space to the right of the text for a logo.
[pic]
• Select the text and choose Character panel and bring baseline down 7 points (-7) so text is not up against top margin:
[pic]
Result:
[pic]
• Deselect everything (Edit>Deselect all), or Selection tool, then click away
Add a Drop Shadow…add to the Text inside the master frame
• Select the text frame , not the actual text using the Selection tool,
[pic]
• and then:

Add a horizontal bar to a new layer
• Window>Layers (Panels already be open)
• Click the Create a new layer icon
[pic]

[pic]

[pic]
InDesign automatically applied the A-Master (since only have one) to each page
Save
Next: Modify the master so a page number is automatically added to every page…
• Double-Click the blue master title page
• Choose View>Fit page in Window
• Add a small text frame at lower right of the Master
• Type the word “Page:”, then add a space and then choose Type>Insert Special Character>Markers> Current Page Number (You may have to click inside the small box)
[pic]

[pic]
Save again
• Switch to Normal view (From Preview)
Multiple Master Pages
….here Friday . . . . .
• If have multiple master pages, can choose which one to apply to which page
• You just drag the desired master to the page you want to apply it to…

o Double-Click on the words A-Master Title
o Right-click
o Choose New Master
