In this lesson we're going to continue to discuss styles if you'd like to follow along go under the
file menu to open the sample files folder scroll down to 0 8 0 8 using styles to format a magazine and
just click open before we begin.
I just wanted to mention that the way we're going to work in this particular little project is not normally
the way I would format long text.
Normally what I would do is place the text for Microsoft Word into my design document and then in one
long running text document I would set up all of my styles and apply those styles to all of the text.
Then I would copy and paste the individual stories one of their time into my lay out pages.
This is a far faster way to work in this lesson.
What we're going to do is use the formatting from the first story to create styles and then apply those
styles to the second story at the bottom of the page.
So why don't we jump right into creating our styles.
I'm going to zoom in a little bit by clicking and dragging with my zoomed tool across the width of my
left hand page of the spread and then I'm going to get an insert point in my headline and it looks like
I used to span columns to make the headline go right across the three columns of text.
To create the style I'm going to open my paragraph styles Pavel and go under the options menu two new
paragraph style and I'm just going to call it headline.
I'm going to make sure that applies style to selection is actually check and also preview.
I'm going to click in the shortcut field just to make sure that my headline style has actually been
created.
Why don't we talk for just a second about how to name your styles.
It's very important to name your styles in a way that if you open the same document six months later
you'll actually know what that headline style is.
I'm just going to click OK.
Now I'm going to go down to the second paragraph of my running body text and I'm going to go under the
options menu of the paragraph styles panel and go to new peristyle I'm going to name this.
I'm going to click OK and I'm going to apply it to all of the body text in the rest of the first story.
So I'm going to go under my pull quote and then just click and drag across the rest of the text applying
body text.
Now let's get back to that first paragraph that has the drop cap.
I'm actually going to do something a little unusual.
I'm going to click on body text and I'm going to recreate that drop cap in sight of the options window.
The way we're going to do that is go under the options menu.
The new paragraph style and you can see automatically it's saying that my drop cap style is going to
be based on my body Tech style.
I'm doing that because chances are my body textile and my drop cap style are going to be identical except
for the drop cap.
So I'm going to call this body text drop cap.
I'm going to go into the drop caps and nested styles and I'm going to create the drop cap right here
and let's see if I have a character style to apply.
And yes I do I'm going to now just click OK let me scroll down a little bit and I'm just going to click
in my pull quote go under my options menu with the paragraph style panel and go to new paragraph style
and I'm just going to name it.
Pulque work.
I'm going to create a shortcut for my pull quote on a Mac.
I'm going to hit command and the number one from the numerical keypad to the right of my keyboard on
a PC.
It would be control and the number one from the numerical key pit.
I'm just going to click OK.
I want a caption style so I'm going to click outside of my body text and then re click in the caption
text frame and I'm going to go under my options menu 2 new paragraph style and I'm just going to call
it caption and click OK.
There's one more style that I want to create but it's an object style So what I'm going to do is go
to my selection tool and just click on my graphic frame.
I don't have my objects styles panel open so I'm going to go under the window menu to styles object
style and then in the object styles panel go under the options menu to new object style and I'm just
going to name the style I'll call it photos and I'll just click OK.
So I have all of my styles.
Why don't we now apply those styles to the second story.
I'm going to start by going on The View menu to fit page in window so I can see the second story.
Now I'm going to double click with my selection tool in the headline of the second story to get an insert
point.
I'm just going to click on my headline style the next paragraph is my drop cap I'm going to go to body
text drop cap and just apply that the paragraph after that is actually the pull quote.
I'm going to click in that and for the pull quote I have a shortcut so I'm going to hit commem one on
a Mac control one on my PC and I have my pull quote the rest of the text is all body text so I'm just
going to select all of that text at once and just click.
Body Text.
Why don't I now select my image and apply my photo style.
And you can see it pick up the wrap information from this particular graphic frame that I used to create
that object style.
Very cool.
Let me go down into my caption and I'm just going to click caption and applied the caption.
Why don't we take a closer look and get our panels out of the way and de-select everything I'm going
to press my W key to go into Preview.
If you just type the W That means you're still in a text frame.
So undo that click outside the text frame and then hit your W key which is the keyboard shortcut for
preview and I'm going to scroll up just to see what it looks like.
You can see how quick it was using styles to format an entire page in the next lesson.
We are going to start to discuss working with objects and text together.
