    several pages, or break it up into smaller
    stories.

    error or correct the spelling of a selected story
    or an entire publication.

    of characters in a story, the best way to do this
    is to use the Find option.

    RGB TIFF images in PageMaker.

26
Keylines

    To do this manually requires too many precise
    steps, and you would have to group the Keyline
    with the graphic to move it around.

    version of the linked object is replaced.

Text Wrap
  • There are several controls you have available to
    control the way text is affected by a placed
    graphic.

31
Layers
  • The advantage of using layers is the ability to
    work on a publication and only focus on the
    content that pertains to the layer you are
    working on.
  • You can hide or lock layers so that you do not
    accidentally make changes or get distracted by
    elements of other layers.

32
Locking
  • You can Lock objects into place in order to
    prevent them from being resized, or moved.

    the left and right pages of a document at the
    same time, on the same page.

34
Tiling and Scaling

    not be able to print the page size you have
    specified in your document setup. To print these
    type of publications PageMaker provides you with
    the Tiling and Scaling options.

35
Page Bleeds
  • A Page Bleed is the area outside the publication
    page. It is used when you have an object or fill
    that extends to the size of the page.

36
Printing What You Cannot See
  • Non-Printing objects are objects that are set to
    be hidden from the final output.
  • Setting objects as Non-Printing allows you to
    attach notes or comments to the publication
    without having them appear on the printed page.
