1 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Okay. So this will be our tutorial about using text wraps, 2 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 hyphenation, spell check, and transform. 3 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So when we're thinking of image and text, 4 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 we have some really cool options in InDesign 5 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 to allow them to work together, that saves you some time. 6 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 We're thinking always of being the most efficient. 7 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Once you have your techniques, you want to think about expediting your process 8 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 so that you can make work um, as efficiently as possible. 9 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So let's start with thinking about text wrap. 10 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So a text wrap is when you're thinking about the interaction of text, 11 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 so here is my text frame, 12 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and image, so here's my image frame. 13 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Of course, we know that our image frame, 14 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 here I can see the image is actually quite large 15 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 with this yellow orange kind of bounding box. 16 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 That tells me that the image is really big, 17 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 but of course, it's inside a frame 18 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and if I want to use the content grabber to edit, I can. 19 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So that is a big image, but it's kind of isolated to this page 20 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and I have my text. So the way to think about using text 21 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and um, text wrap, is a consideration of how you want the text to flow 22 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 around any particular image. 23 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Now in this rectangular case, 24 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 it's pretty easy to just kind of line up my text frame 25 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 to be in a position where it feels like it's flowing around the image. 26 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 But these two objects aren't really connected together. 27 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So another more interesting way 28 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 is to think about using text wrap, 29 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and the way I'm going to show it to you 30 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 is by changing the shape of this. 31 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 You really get an idea of how it works. 32 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So the first thing I'm going to do is 33 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 I'm just going to make this a non rectangular image, 34 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 so I'm going to change the frame. 35 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 And I'm going to do that, make sure you're not clicked on anything. 36 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 I'm going to grab my direct selection tool 37 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 because I just want to edit this one little corner. 38 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So I've clicked on that corner and I'm going to shift it over. 39 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So I'm just going to kind of create you know, some sort of a diagonal. 40 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 This will just reveal the text wrap to you, 41 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 more so than if it was rectangular. 42 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 It's also kind of a nice design. 43 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So now, the trick with thinking about text wrap 44 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 is it's something that you actually apply 45 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 to the image, not to the text. 46 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 That's the one little conceptual trick here uh, that's kind of hard to remember. 47 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So, here's my text. 48 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Let's imagine I'm going to kind of let it wrap around the edge of the image, 49 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 both with my title and with the actual kind of information here. 50 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So I'm going to click on the actual image 51 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 using my regular selection tool, 52 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 because remember, that grabs the bounding box. 53 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 And then, you'll see an opportunity 54 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 inside your Properties panel down here called Text Wrap. 55 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Now again, really important. If you're using your other selection tool, 56 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 oh, actually using the other one brings it up too, 57 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 so if for some reason you didn't see it though, 58 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 I just always kind of default to my regular selection tool. 59 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Click on the image. 60 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 And then you'll see your text wrap. 61 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So, first opportunity here is no text wrap, 62 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 so that's what it's currently set at. 63 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 You can see it's a little bit darker. 64 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Here, if we wrap around the bounding box, 65 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 remembering that I changed the bounding box, look what happens. 66 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 It has shifted my text to kind of match this angle right here. 67 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Oops, I just zoomed in on the actual image 68 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 instead of the frame, there you go. 69 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So now it's done that, 70 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 if I want to use some offsets, 71 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 which in this case is just one offset to kind of space it out, 72 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 I could always increase some spacing. 73 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Oops, Command Z, let me get back here a little bit. 74 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Use some spacing on this image to kind of bump this around. 75 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So I'm going to click off and just zoom myself out a little bit. 76 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So again, I'm on the image. 77 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 If I apply a text wrap, I'm going to go back in time here. 78 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 There's my text wrap, which is a wrap around bounding box. 79 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 If I need to increase the spacing then I'm going to use an offset. 80 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So this is an offset number. 81 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 It'll usually limit you to just doing 82 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 whatever one works for that particular bounding or text wrap, 83 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 which in this case is a top offset, 84 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 but it's sort of shifting things left to right. 85 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Now notice what's happening with also the title of this kind of article. 86 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 It is getting overset. 87 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 I'm kind of missing out on some of my text with this little red thing. 88 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So of course, I can increase the size of this text frame so that it also works, 89 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 but it's shifting this according to the text wrap. 90 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So that is a text wrap with a bounding box. 91 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Very interesting, clever way-- the, of working with text and image. 92 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 The other thing you can do, you don't necessarily have 93 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 to have it working with an image. 94 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 You can use text wrap with any object. 95 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So here's another object. 96 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 This is something I drew really quickly 97 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and I actually just used the pen tool. 98 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Here we go, you're familiar with the pen tool. 99 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 You can use the pen tool in InDesign. 100 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 You can also use it in Illustrator. 101 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 If you're drawing something more complex, 102 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 then of course you can place your object inside InDesign. 103 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So here, I have some text and this kind of custom shape. 104 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Let's imagine it's a poorly drawn guitar of some sort. 105 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Uh, let's think about the kind of text wrap 106 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 we could do with these two objects. 107 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So I am again, make sure you don't have anything selected. 108 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Get your black arrow selection tool, 109 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 go to the object itself 110 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 to determine what kind of text wrap you want. 111 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Here's the one we did before around the bounding box. 112 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Remember, this is actually in a bounding box that's square. 113 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So that's not going to help us at all. 114 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 What I want us to think about instead 115 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 is wrapping around the object that I've drawn. 116 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So if I use wrap around object, look what's happened. 117 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Now I have this lovely little flow 118 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 around the side of the object. 119 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Of course, if I move my text frame around, it's going to keep flowing 120 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and the positioning of the text will flow around that object. 121 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 If I change the size of the object, of course, 122 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 it's just going to keep flowing. 123 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Now, other opportunity is maybe 124 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 we don't want to be on the outside of this object. 125 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Perhaps we want to be on the inside of the object. 126 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 In that case, you have an invert button here. 127 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So if I invert and also make sure I grab my text, 128 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 so I'm going to use my black arrow. 129 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 I'm going to move the text so that it's actually 130 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 in the space of the object. 131 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 And perhaps I need to make my text frame a little bit wider. 132 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Bring it in a little bit here. 133 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 And I'm, that top line looks like it's, there we go. 134 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Bring that down a little bit. 135 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So now I have done a text wrap 136 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 around an object and inverted it 137 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 so that it's actually inside the object. 138 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So that is wrap around object shape, invert. 139 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 You also have um, jump object, jump to next column. 140 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Those are a little bit more if you're uh, doing column based design work. 141 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 I think the most useful for you currently 142 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 is the wrap around bounding box or wrap around object shape, 143 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 thinking about how to invert it. 144 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Again, if you don't want to do it, 145 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 then you can always just go back to this no text wrap 146 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and now you're back to the basics where they aren't interacting together. 147 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So those are your text wrap options, very fun. 148 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Uh, the other thing I want to show you 149 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 is to just pay attention to what is hyphenated. 150 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 If you're writing out a lot of text 151 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 and you're breaking on a line, 152 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 it's going to create a hyphenation, 153 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 so here's a hyphen, here's a hyphen, 154 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 here's a hyphen, here's a hyphen. 155 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Sometimes that's a really kind of annoying thing 156 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 when you're a viewer or a reader. 157 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Just seeing a bunch of hyphens along the edge is kind of a bad design. 158 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 It can get kind of um, irritating on your eyes. 159 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So if you want to turn that off, 160 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 I recommend turning that off and it's just a really simple setting. 161 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 If you scroll down in your Properties panel, 162 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 you have to be on a text frame 163 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 because otherwise it won't have all the opportunities, but scroll down. 164 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Under this paragraph right here where you have paragraph options, 165 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 you know, you've got center, justification, etc., 166 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 we have a hyphenate button. 167 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So I like to turn that off and it's just going to move the words down 168 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 rather than hyphenate, hyphenate, hyphenate all the time. 169 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 That's hyphenation. 170 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 The other thing I want you to pay attention to is your spelling. 171 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 There is nothing worse than looking at a beautiful design 172 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 that has a bunch of spelling errors, 173 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 because they become these little kind of 174 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 just nuisances to your brain. 175 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 So, you can, of course, check your spelling in a word document. 176 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Particularly if you have a lot of text, 177 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 use that kind of word document program, 178 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 whatever it might be, to check your spelling. 179 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 Or if you're just going to type into InDesign, 180 99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999 we do have a spellcheck feature. 181
