InDesign Tutorial 2
INTRODUCTION
In this tutorial, we will be looking at more
aspects and functions of InDesign which will
increase your knowledge and allow you to
become familiar with and use a few more of the
features available.
You will be creating and using one InDesign
file for this tutorial and keeping it for use in
Tutorial 3. Building a document from scratch,
the exercises will be using the features and
functions learned in each section and Exercise
as you go.
REMEMBER: Save often and especially at the
end of an Exercise.
Action Terminology
When referring to the Menu items, they now will
be written in the order they are accessed from
the main Menu. For example:

This is what the Control Panel looks like when
any text on the page is selected with the text tool
and the Paragraph Formatting Controls option
has been selected. Once again, virtually all
elements of the paragraph can be accessed and
changed via the Control Panel in this state.

Altering the magnification of the view
of your layout is one of the most handy
tools used in InDesign, or any other layout
application for that matter.

Linked Files
When you place a picture on your page, the
file will automatically be linked. The image that
appears in the InDesign document is a preview
of the image stored somewhere else on your
computer or network. If the file you linked to
your InDesign document is changed, it must be
updated.
When you print or export a document, InDesign
uses the linked images to generate the
information necessary to create a high-quality
printed document.

RESOLUTION
Resolution, scanning, and picture size is a vast
and often confusing topic. For those new to
desktop publishing it can be overwhelming. To
help you through this, well focus on some basic,
easy to understand facts.
An image is composed of very small dots and
appear to the eye as continuous tone. Every
photograph and every image that you see
in every book, magazine, calendar and art
reproduction is comprised of dots at a resolution
typically at 300 DPI.
What is Resolution?
Resolution is one of the most important concepts
to understand in digital imaging, design and
digital photography. The term resolution
describes both pixel count and pixel density.
DPI (dots per inch) is probably a familiar term if
youve bought or used a printer, a scanner or a
digital camera. DPI is the measure of resolution
we will use.
72 dpi 100%
72 dpi 200%

RESOLUTION
Most pictures you download from the internet
will be at screen (72 DPI) resolution. The trick
is to find pictures large enough that will print
well. And when you have done that, how to
manipulate them.
