Common Mistakes in the Use of PageMaker Operations

Chinese characters are difficult to align Friends who often use pagemaker must have encountered this situation: within the same paragraph of text, there is "address: phone: zip code:" and other contents require the first and last word and colon aligned. The same number of words with the same font size will actually be missing! A space, not enough, hit two spaces, and more, no way, but to adjust the kerning method. It can be dealt with for the time being, but once the content is rotated, the old fault is again committed.

It is always something foreigners do. When it comes to arranging Chinese characters, it is not so easy to use. In contrast, Wells and Feiteng have done much better. (usually Ctrl + Shift + M or use the TAB key to get it, it is not enough to split it into multiple text blocks, manually align)

The best function of Pagemaker is not the production, but its powerful typesetting and imposition functions. For example, using it to arrange more than 100 pages of books and periodicals, pictures and texts, randomly placed text blocks, ie, what you see is what you get, is very convenient. Steps: Enter the main page (that is, the two pages where R and L are written at the left end of the scroll bar at the bottom), and type Ctrl+Shift+3 in the place where you want to add a page number, and then go to the text. how about it? Each page number is generated automatically!

Don't be happy too soon. Once the imposition output is requested (that is, two or four pages are combined into one page), how can the page number not move? Finished! Slowly page by page, add it manually. (My experience is: it is best to manually add page numbers when making, so do not have to be afraid of the imposition. And slow, such as the customer request to add pages or delete pages? That page of each page is not ... ...

Unaligned page, page top right, bottom right options

Place a picture, about one-third the size of the layout, and ask to place the page in the middle. If you use coreldraw, 嘿嘿, Ctrl+A, and get it within 1 second, but now it is within pagemaker. What should I do? Let's be honest with it: version of the heart size minus the image size, then divide 2, and then pull a reference line out, finally aligned. Less content is OK, but more pictures? The head is big! (Generally draw a text block, the length is flush with the version, put the picture into the text block, and then select the center. The problem is solved, but it always feels awkward, not so smoothly)

The reference line cannot be manually given coordinates

Sometimes it is necessary to draw a reference line at a certain punctuation point. It is very simple. When the mouse is pulled and the reference line comes out, it is not enough to put it in the required position. Well, after a little bit, go back a little, go back a little more. , Going forward again, again... Tossing for a long time is finally aligned. However, you need to know that not every mouse is so easy to use, if you encounter a mouse with a poor sensitivity, (I really don't know what adobe thinks when developing this software. Think of it, think this The function is not important and not done, or did not even think that not every user is using a Logitech mouse...)

It's hard to place table software into the pagemaker page. The manuscript always encounters the form. Simply draw the line frame, and manually move the text position. What about complicated forms? It does not matter, when pagemaker is installed, it comes in handy with the pageamker loading the machine's adboe Table. Use it to draw it, not so smoothly, but it is quite convenient.

Well, draw well. How can I put it into the pagemaker page? The problem came up: With the Adobe Reader that pagemaker distributed in the same package, the table drawn with it couldn't be put directly into pageamker! Even if you put in the output film can not pass! It's really unreasonable. No way but to convert it into EPS format graphics again into pagemaker. Text in the table has changed? Let's go again...I’m tired!

Can't scale or enlarge finished page content

Use coredraw or Illustrator to do a thing, graphic and mixed arrangement, a page in the plate version and text are more, the text is mostly an image description or annotation. The same can be done with pagemaker, and because the file is small, the operation is faster than the above two software. In case you need to reduce the overall content of the layout to 90% of the original size, group it in the coredraw or illustrator, and then use the selection ratio to get it! Pageamker also selects the group, then selects the proportion... Wait, the image class is all fine, how the text does not shrink, just the text box is shrunk, and the text position is in a mess... No way, the content is disbanded, one by one Select the text block, slowly adjust it one by one!
