Subtitles of the Movie

In this movie I'm going to look at the various options for improving your documents. Most of this is zooming in, zooming out and we'll be looking at that in the next couple of movies as well. There's a lot of ways to do it. I have a single document open and if you used some of the previous versions of InDesign, one thing you might want to do is come down here to the bottom and look for the zoom units; not there anymore. They've moved it. It is now located up at the top on the Application Bar; up here, Zoom Level. Now, just a reminder. On the PC this is permanently here but on a Mac you've got to pull down the window and down at the bottom, it's not here because it's not an option on the PC. You can turn on the Application Bar if you don't already have it on. I'll click here to get away and I can pull down the arrow and choose from some of these preset zooms. I can go to 50 percent and it zooms in. I can go to a hundred percent and in theory that's an inch in the screen versus an inch in the document. But it's never exactly that. I can go over to 600 percent. That really zooms me in a lot and I can actually go as far as 600 percent. But where does it zoom to? Let me go back to a hundred percent here. It actually zooms to the middle of the document. But if I have something selected like this and let's really zoom in in it, like a hundred percent, it zooms in on the center of the selected object. Here we can see the little red You may just be able to see it. It represents the center. If I go to a more normal zoom, like 200 there, you can see how it zooms in in that. I'll click this and go to 400 and there you can see it zooms in on the center of this text block. I'm going to go back out again and let's choose 75 percent. I think I chose a hundred; 75 percent like that and we have zoomed right out. Let's take a look at a few more options or ways to do it. I can do it using my Contact-Sensitive Menu. I can right click or Command click on a one-button mouse like that and choose Zoom In, Zoom Out Axis Size or Entire Pasteboard. Let's go to the Entire Pasteboard because we haven't seen that one before. There we zoom out and we can see the entire pasteboard. Now, I'm in Preview Mode. If I come over and switch to Normal Mode like that, the pasteboard becomes a little bit more apparent. I can come up here and choose that option as well now because we've changed that in InDesign. Before I always had to come down here. Now I've got two ways of doing it. From the Tools Bar and Normal Mode or up here from the Application Bar, back into Preview Mode. Anyway, let me right click again and I can zoom in, right click again, zoom in and again, this pretty much works like the menu because if I have something selected like this, right click and zoom in like that. It zooms in centering on this. So how much does it zoom it in by? Well, let's take a look and see. If we look up here, you can see the zoom level is a hundred percent. If I right click again and choose Zoom, now you'll notice that this is a little bit different and that's because I've got the text selected. If I click over here where nothing's selected, you can see how Zoom's available. This is selected. Right click, Zoom. I have to go to a submenu and that's because this is contact-sensitive and while I've got the frame selected, there's a lot of different options it has to show there. So I'll zoom in again. We're at 125 percent and one more time, zoom in again, goes to 150 percent. So when you zoom in and zoom out, you can see that these are the presets that you use. If you want to actually zoom by a given figure, you can just come up here and type it in. So if I want to zoom in by 164 percent, just type it in like that and there we go. Otherwise, using Zoom In and Zoom Out, you will use the presets that are here in this particular menu. If we go to the View Menu, you can see that some of these options are here. Again, Zoom In and Zoom Out but there's a couple of other ones that you don't see elsewhere. Entire Pasteboard we have seen but Actual Size, that's the One-to-One Mode, which is a hundred percent, as I mentioned earlier. You can Fit Page in Window. That'll force the entire page to fit in window but you'll notice that this is a spread. It's two adjacent pages so we have the option there, Fit Spread in Window like that. Now, these have shortcuts and I remember a few of these because I use them all the time and you'll be using them as we go through this tutorial. Certainly Fit Page in Window, Control or Command Zero, that's what I'll be using all the time. Zooming In, Zooming Out, Control or Command Equal or Minus. You can Zoom In and Zoom Out and those are the ones that I remember. I do remember Fit Spread in Window but I don't use it too much. Control or Command Zero is one that you'll see me using all the time. So it really depends on your workflow how you you're using it, which ones you want to remember and which ones you want to use the mouse, the menu or your Application Bar. Plenty of options to do it but I think that you will find that as you work in your documents, you're zooming in and out an awful lot so you will want to remember some of the shortcut keys.
