With the page selected, you’ll see size and position information in the Control panel at the top of the screen. Click on any page in your document with the Page tool to select the page. InDesign CS5 provides a new tool called the Page tool ( ) who’s sole purpose is adjusting the size and position of the selected page.
Thankfully, InDesign CS5 makes this extremely easy. This type of document is commonly referred to as a gatefold and can be challenging to create, and to convey to a printer who will be producing this type of a job.
In the figure on the next page, you can see that there are three pages in the document positioned side-by-side, however, the first and third pages are smaller than the second page. The possibilities of this feature are endless. This is a fantastic improvement from prior versions of InDesign! In addition, note that after applying these effects, the radii of the corners remain accurate and do not distort when changing the size of the frame.įor the first time, InDesign CS5 allows multiple size pages with a single document. Shift+Alt+Ctrl click (Windows) or Shift+Option+Command+click (Mac OS) on any diamond to change the effect for only a single corner at a time. Alt+click (Windows) or Option+click (Mac OS) on any of the diamonds to toggle through the available effects that can be applied to the frame. Click on any diamond and drag left to right to change the radius of the default rounded corner effect of the frame. Diamonds appear in each corner of the frame.
With any rectangular frame selected, click on the yellow box in the upper-right corner of the frame. What’s more is that you can apply different Effects to each corner independently of one another. With Live Corner Effects, you can visually adjust all corners of a frame or selected corners without the need to enter a dialog box. However, InDesign CS5 provides a new method of applying corner effects to a frame called Live Corner Effects. InDesign has always been able to apply corner effects to a frame.
