ADOBE INDESIGN CS4
After you create a document, you may change your mind about
how you want it set up. For example, you may want single pages instead
of facing pages, or you may want to change the page size or margin
settings.
Change document setup
Changing
options in the Document Setup dialog box affects every page in the document.
If you change page size or orientation after objects have been added to
pages, you can use the Layout Adjustment feature to minimize the
amount of time needed for arranging existing objects. See About automatic layout adjustment.
- Choose File > Document Setup.
- Specify the document options, and then click OK. (See New Document options.)
Change page margin and column settings
You can change
column and margin settings for pages and spreads. When you change
the column and margin settings on a master page, you change the setting
for all pages to which the master is applied. Changing the columns
and margins of regular pages affects only those pages selected in
the Pages panel.
Note: The
Margins And Columns dialog box doesn’t alter columns inside
text frames. Text frame columns exist only within individual text
frames, not on the page itself. You can set up columns within individual
text frames by using the Text Frame Options dialog box. (See Change text
frame properties.) Text frame columns can also be affected
by the Layout Adjustment feature.
- Do one of the following:
- To change margin and column settings for one spread or page, go to the spread you want to change, or select one spread or page in the Pages panel.
- To change margin and column settings for multiple pages, select those pages in the Pages panel, or select a master that controls the pages you want to change.
- Choose Layout > Margins And Columns, specify
the following options, and then click OK.
- Margins
- Type values to specify the distance between margin guides and each edge of the page. If Facing Pages is selected in the New Document or Document Setup dialog box, the Left and Right margin option names change to Inside and Outside, so that you can specify additional inside margin space to accommodate binding.
- Columns
- Specify the number of columns.
Create unequal column widths
When you have more than one column
on a page, the column guides in the middle appear in pairs. When
you drag one column guide, the pair moves. The space between the
column guides is the gutter value you specified; the pair moves
together to maintain that value.
Note: You cannot create unequal column widths for columns in a text
frame. Instead, created threaded, side-by-side text frames with
different column widths.
- Go to the master or spread you want to change.
- If column guides are locked, choose View > Grids & Guides > Lock Column Guides to deselect it.
- Using the Selection tool , drag a column guide. You can’t drag it past an adjacent column guide or beyond the edge of the page.
