thank for tips!

Does anybody know how to change size of pasteboard??
I found only option to change V offset of it but actually I’m interested in H size…

 

Comment by Konrad | April 3, 2008 @ 1:28 am

 

Know where can I find the pdf of these tips?
In response to Konrad’s query about changing the size of the pasteboard: go to Edit> Preferences> Guides and Pasteboard. Near the bottom is “pasteboard options”. Change offset to whatever you like (the H is always quite large – it’s the V you want to increase).

Hey RC,

“CMY-Gay”…

How can anyone who is an apparent Photoshop professional, working with InDesign (a primarily print orientated piece of design software), be anti CMYK?

 

Comment by Designkai | November 5, 2008 @ 5:40 am

 

like others I was floored by the simple but timesaving tips demonstrated here Misters Kelby and Conception. Are these and other tips like these available in PDF format, or downloadable quicktime format?

Happy New Year Everyone.

I found the PDF file for Scott Kelby’s excellent InDesign Tutorial at the following site:

http://www.layersmagazine.com/layerstv-episode15.html

The pdf file is one page in length and contains the 12 InDesign tips shown in the video.

That tip for the polygon tool is sweet, I also found that you can make a star at the same time with the left and right arrow keys, it splits along the horizontals and drags the points in.

Great work boys, keep em coming.

Great Tips – but there are other ways to zoom in and out.

Command 0 (zero) is fit to page
Command – zoom out
Command + zoom in
