Subtitles of the Movie

In the previous movie I mentioned that the Hand Tool has a new feature. Actually it's got two features; one is the Power Zoom and one is the Power Scroll. We'll take a look at the Power Scroll first and we'll select the Hand Tool and as we saw, if you press and drag like that, you move around the page. However, if you press down and keep it held down for a few seconds, it changes. Did you see what happened? See like that? It changes. The hand's got a double arrow on it and we've actually zoomed out on the page. Now, I'm going to deal with the Scroll first. What you do is you move up the page like this and as you get to the top, you start scrolling through the pages. You'll get faster and faster or you can release it to slow down a little bit like that. There we go. This isn't a terribly long document but if I go to the bottom, go up here, keep it held up at the top, you can see it just goes really fast as I'm pushing it up. Same as I'm pushing it down. Move it down. The further you move it down, the faster it's going to go. And then you just release it when you get to where you want. So that's really the Power Scroll. The Power Zoom is very similar. It just works a little bit differently. Again, press down, you get the same feature with the double arrows but as soon as you move it just a little bit, you'll see that red box inside it. And perhaps you remember the Navigator Palette is you used previous versions of InDesign. There's a similar one in Photoshop. And what it was, a panel that came out and you could zoom in on an area using that panel. Well, they've actually eliminated this in InDesign CS4 and replaced it with the Power Zoom and this is it. When you have this rectangle here; I still have the mouse pressed down. Remember, as soon as I release it it'll go into zoom back in again. So I'll press it down again and there we have the rectangle. Now, I can use this rectangle to zoom in on an area. A couple of ways I can do it. One, I can use the Scroll Button on the mouse. That means with one finger you're holding down the Left Button and another finger, you're actually changing this; either scrolling in or out like that. You can see how it's changing. That actually is a little bit difficult but I'm just going to release the mouse and there you can see I've zoomed in on the area that was selected. I'm going to press down again, zoom out and this time I'm going to use the arrows on the keyboard. You can use the Up and Down Arrows. I use the Up Arrow. You can see I'm zooming out. Use the Down Arrow, I'm zooming in. The Left and the Right Arrows work exactly the same way. The Left, I zoom in, the Right, I zoom out like that. So whichever arrows you choose to use, the both work the same way. I can move over like this and make it smaller. I want to zoom in on this bicycle, I just release and there I've zoomed in on it. I can press and drag like this, mov to a different area and notice that I didn't actually change the size of the rectangle of the Power Zoom but I just zoomed in in another area. Do that again, press and drag, move down here in this text. So that's a very quick way to move about. Let me press and drag again. You can actually get really way down there to pixel level and I can just zoom in here on this hand. There you can see the pixels there. Zoom out again, press and hold down and go out like that and release. I'm going to zoom right out now, Control Alt or Command Option Zero so that I can see the full spread and as we saw with the Hand Tool, it's a sticky tool so as soon as you use it, it stays with it. With the shortcut we learned when we were dealing with the just scrolling using the Hand Tool, it works as well. So if you're using another tool, like say the Selection Tool, or let's say the Text Tool for a change, come in here. I can hold down, in this case Alt Spacebar, press down like that and I can release the Alt Spacebar at this stage, zoom in on the text I want to edit like this, release and now I've got the Text Tool selected. I don't have to constantly switch back and forward. Again, if I'm on the Selection Tool like this, hold down the Spacebar. This time I don't need the Alt. Move over here, release and as soon as I release the Spacebar, you can see I'm back with the Selection Tool. So that really is the more sensible way to do it rather than going back and forward selecting, even if you do remember the shortcut keys. I find that remembering just the Spacebar, press and drag, move across, is just a little bit faster.
