Subtitles of the Movie

In this video tutorial we're going to spend a bit of time working with Adobe FrameMaker 9 and setting Viewing Preferences. Objects that are visible include Borders, Text Symbols, Rulers and Grid Lines and you can show and hide these as you see fit. Borders are showing around graphics, tables and text frames. At the top of this page you can see Chapter 1, Canada and a dotted line surrounding it and then the same type of a dotted line surrounds the Overview with the text inside it. If I scroll down to the next page and a little further you'll see a graphic. The graphic has its own dotted line surrounding it and if I go to the next page and scroll down just a touch, you'll see two tables and again the tables have that dotted line surrounding it. In addition to the dotted line surrounding the table, there are dotted lines that are seen on the page. All of that is part of the Borders and under the View Menu you can choose to Hide Borders if it's something that you don't want to see. There are also a variety of Text Symbols; some of them are visible here in the document. For example, at the beginning of the word government you can see a little bit of a symbol just in front of the G. That's a Marker and that indicates something like a destination for a cross-reference or index entries. Inside the table at the end of each cell you'll see a little symbol that looks like a double S. That's an end-of-textflow. Above the tables are the Table Anchors and they're displayed as what looks sort of like bold upsidedown letter T and at the end of many of the Body Paragraphs what you'll see is a variety of backwards letter P symbols. There's one at the end after the Table Markers here; there's also another one down here at the end of this Body Paragraph, or at the end of this paragraph. Those Text Symbols can also be shown or hidden by choosing View, Text Symbols. Automatically the Text Symbols are hidden away. These Text Symbols would also include things like automated Tab stops, or manually inserted Tab Symbols. There are Rulers. Those Rulers are going to show different settings based on the cell that I click in. If I'm inside this portion of a table, inside the heading, inside the title, or if I click outside the cell into my paragraph or into my headings, the Ruler shows the indents and the left and the right margins. If Tab Stops are defined, for example, here in my bullets, the Tab Symbol is also shown inside the Ruler. By choosing View and Rulers, you can turn off the Rulers if that's not required. Finally, you can choose to Show Grid Lines. I'm not a fan of Grid Lines. I find that they are intrusive and they take over too much of the screen space, but I do use them when I'm working with some page layout. In order to turn off the Grid Lines, simply View, Grid Lines and by choosing the View Menu and bringing back your Borders, viewing your Text Symbols and viewing your Rulers you can see a variety of additional information about the file. If you want to set a variety of View Options beyond the defaults you can also go in and choose View, Options. The dialog displays. In here you can configure a variety of settings, all at the same time. The Page Scrolling allows you to decide how multiple pages show up so that you scroll through them vertically, top to bottom, or horizontally from left to right, in a double-sided document facing pages so that you can see your left and right pages, or variable, which automatically configures based on what's best suited for the zoom setting and the document style you're working with. You can change the Display Units that are being used. You can change the way your Font Size is reflected. You can turn on a Grid Spacing and Snap to that Grid Spacing automatically when you reposition objects. You can configure what your Rulers appear like, whether it's centimeters, pica, or some type of an imperial measurement unit. Grid Lines can be configured as far as how often they appear. You can decide that you do want to show Borders on objects, your Text Symbols, or even show and hide your Graphics in order to speed up the display. When you're ready to apply your settings, click on Set, or if you don't want to make any of the changes click on Cancel. Finally, one more way that you can view your documents is just to increase or decrease the zoom by clicking the Minus sign to zoom further away on your document, or click the Plus sign to zoom in on the document. If you prefer, you can also click the pop-up and choose an explicit value. By setting your View Preferences you can decide what you want to see and how to display it. You can show your Borders, your Text Symbols, your Rulers or your Grid Lines; you can set multiple Viewing Options at once and you can zoom to different settings based on the type of work that you're doing.
