Subtitles of the Movie

In this movie I'm going to talk about moving from one page to the next. Now, that sounds very basic but in InDesign, there are so many different ways of doing it I'm going to show you them all so that you can make the decision and choose which works best for you and I think you'll find that in certain circumstances, you'll use one method, in others you'll use a different one. So let's start by using the Options in the Layout Menu. I'll pull down the Layout Menu and you'll notice it's in sections and if we go to the second section, all these are to do with moving from one page to the next. At the moment some of them are dimmed. But let's just go straight to the next page here. Now we're on Page 2 and if I pull down the Layout Menu, you can see everything's available because Previous Page and First Page are not available. So I can go to Previous Page, it takes me back to the beginning. Layout, Last Page, takes me right to the end. Layout, Previous Spread takes me to the previous two pages together like that. Let's just go back to the First Page here and if I pull down the Layout Menu, you can see the shortcut keys are on the right-hand side. You may want to remember some of these because they do come in very useful and they mostly involve the Page Up, Page Down Key together with some modifying key. These are the PC ones, so the Shift is the same on the Mac but the Control is the Command and the Alt is the Option. Otherwise they're the same. So let's click away here. Let's just move this window up here because I don't want to be invoking this menu down here every time that I move down to the bottom of the screen. And we'll take a look at this. In every window you can see the page number that you're on. If I pull down this Down Arrow here, you can see all the pages in the document. If you've got a lot here you'll be able to scroll down. You've got something that says Master. That's to do with the Master Pages. We're not going to worry about those quite at the moment. And I'll just come over and click in Page 3. Move to Page 3, Page 7, move to Page 7. You can go one page at a time by using the arrows beside this; Previous Page, Next Page here. And if you want to go to the first page, click in the arrow with the bar beside it. Conversely, this is the last page and you can just type in the page you want. You want to go to Page 3, just type 3, hit Enter, you move to Page 3 like that. So that's pretty straightforward. And then we just go back to Page 1 by typing in and hitting Enter like t hat. You can scroll through the pages using the Vertical Scroll Bar. Press and drag down like that. Press and drag and you can see as I move down I'm getting on to Page 5. Now, you've got to be careful if you have something selected and you move down like this and you change a color, you'll find that this gets changed even though you think you're dealing with Page 7. So it's a good idea just to click on a blank spot on the page and that really makes sure that that page is active. So I'll scroll back to the beginning. We'll start again up at Page 1 and we'll take a look at another option. And that's our Pages Palette. I've got it over here. If you don't have it open, pull down the Window Menu and choose Pages. F12 being the Shortcut key and here it scrolls out and you'll notice we've got little thumbnails of our pages here. I'm just going to make this a little bit bigger so that we can see everything here. You can make these thumbnails a little bit bigger. We're not going to do it right here. We'll deal with it when we deal with Pages. But if you want to move to your page, you can just double click in this and move straight there. Double click there, you move there. And if you've got a lot of pages, you can scroll up and down like this, you can even get to your Master Pages here by double clicking on it but you'll see that when we deal with Master Pages. Back to Page 1, double click like that and close out this palette. One last way, which we've already seen, and I'll just do it again, is to use the Hand Tool. I'll select it, press and hold down and just scroll down like this and when we get to the page we want, click and you're released on it like that. And if you skipped the last movie, you may want to go back and check that because you'll find out some more options you can do with that tool. So those are the ways that you can deal with all your page movement from one to the other. Lots of different ways. Use whatever way works best for you.
