99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Okay. So this will be our tutorial 
about using text wraps,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
hyphenation, spell check, and transform.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So when we're thinking of image and text,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
we have some
really cool options in InDesign

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to allow them to work together, 
that saves you some time.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
We're thinking always 
of being the most efficient.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Once you have your techniques, you want
to think about expediting your process

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
so that you can make work um,
as efficiently as possible.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So let's start with thinking
about text wrap.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So a text wrap is when you're thinking 
about the interaction of text,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
so here is my text frame,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and image, so here's my image frame.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Of course, we know that our image frame,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
here I can see the image 
is actually quite large

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
with this yellow orange 
kind of bounding box.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
That tells me 
that the image is really big,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but of course, it's inside a frame

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and if I want to use 
the content grabber to edit, I can.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So that is a big image, 
but it's kind of isolated to this page

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and I have my text. So the way
to think about using text

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and um, text wrap, is a consideration 
of how you want the text to flow

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
around any particular image.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Now in this rectangular case,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it's pretty easy to just kind of 
line up my text frame

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to be in a position where it feels
like it's flowing around the image.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But these two objects 
aren't really connected together.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So another more interesting way

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is to think about using text wrap,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and the way I'm going to show it to you

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is by changing the shape of this.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You really get an idea of how it works.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So the first thing I'm going to do is

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'm just going to make this 
a non rectangular image,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
so I'm going to change the frame.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And I'm going to do that, make sure 
you're not clicked on anything.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'm going to grab my direct selection tool

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
because I just want to edit 
this one little corner.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So I've clicked on that corner 
and I'm going to shift it over.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So I'm just going to kind of create 
you know, some sort of a diagonal.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This will just reveal 
the text wrap to you,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
more so than if it was rectangular.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It's also kind of a nice design.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So now, the trick 
with thinking about text wrap

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is it's something that you actually apply

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to the image, not to the text.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
That's the one little conceptual trick
here uh, that's kind of hard to remember.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So, here's my text.

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,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
both with my title and with 
the actual kind of information here.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So I'm going to click on the actual image

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
using my regular selection tool,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
because remember, 
that grabs the bounding box.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And then, you'll see an opportunity

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
inside your Properties panel down here 
called Text Wrap.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Now again, really important.
If you're using your other selection tool,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
oh, actually using the other one
brings it up too,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
so if for some reason 
you didn't see it though,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I just always kind of default 
to my regular selection tool.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Click on the image.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And then you'll see your text wrap.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So, first opportunity here 
is no text wrap,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
so that's what it's currently set at.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You can see it's a little bit darker.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Here, if we wrap around the bounding box,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
remembering that I changed 
the bounding box, look what happens.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It has shifted my text to kind of 
match this angle right here.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Oops, I just zoomed in 
on the actual image

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
instead of the frame, there you go.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So now it's done that,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
if I want to use some offsets,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
which in this case is just one offset 
to kind of space it out,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I could always increase some spacing.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Oops, Command Z, 
let me get back here a little bit.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Use some spacing on this image 
to kind of bump this around.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So I'm going to click off 
and just zoom myself out a little bit.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So again, I'm on the image.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If I apply a text wrap, I'm going 
to go back in time here.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
There's my text wrap, which is 
a wrap around bounding box.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If I need to increase the spacing
then I'm going to use an offset.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So this is an offset number.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It'll usually limit you to just doing

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
whatever one works for 
that particular bounding or text wrap,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
which in this case is a top offset,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but it's sort of shifting things 
left to right.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Now notice what's happening with also 
the title of this kind of article.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It is getting overset.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'm kind of missing out on some 
of my text with this little red thing.

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,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but it's shifting this
according to the text wrap.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So that is a text wrap 
with a bounding box.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Very interesting, clever way-- 
the, of working with text and image.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The other thing you can do, 
you don't necessarily have

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to have it working with an image.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You can use text wrap with any object.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So here's another object.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This is something I drew really quickly

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and I actually just used the pen tool.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Here we go, you're familiar
with the pen tool.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You can use the pen tool in InDesign.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You can also use it in Illustrator.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If you're drawing something more complex,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
then of course you can place 
your object inside InDesign.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So here, I have some text 
and this kind of custom shape.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Let's imagine 
it's a poorly drawn guitar of some sort.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Uh, let's think about 
the kind of text wrap

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
we could do with these two objects.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So I am again, make sure 
you don't have anything selected.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Get your black arrow selection tool,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
go to the object itself

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
to determine what kind 
of text wrap you want.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Here's the one we did before
around the bounding box.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Remember, this is actually in
a bounding box that's square.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So that's not going to help us at all.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
What I want us to think about instead

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is wrapping around
the object that I've drawn.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So if I use wrap around object, 
look what's happened.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Now I have this lovely little flow

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
around the side of the object.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Of course, if I move my text frame around, 
it's going to keep flowing

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and the positioning of the text 
will flow around that object.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If I change the size of the object, 
of course,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it's just going to keep flowing.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Now, other opportunity is maybe

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
we don't want to be 
on the outside of this object.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Perhaps we want to be
on the inside of the object.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
In that case, you have 
an invert button here.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So if I invert and also
make sure I grab my text,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
so I'm going to use my black arrow.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I'm going to move the text 
so that it's actually

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
in the space of the object.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And perhaps I need to make 
my text frame a little bit wider.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Bring it in a little bit here.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
And I'm, that top line looks like it's, 
there we go.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Bring that down a little bit.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So now I have done a text wrap

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
around an object and inverted it

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
so that it's actually inside the object.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So that is wrap around object shape, 
invert.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You also have um, jump object, 
jump to next column.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Those are a little bit more if you're uh, 
doing column based design work.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I think the most useful for you currently

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is the wrap around bounding box
or wrap around object shape,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
thinking about how to invert it.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Again, if you don't want to do it,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
then you can always just 
go back to this no text wrap

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and now you're back to the basics 
where they aren't interacting together.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So those are your text wrap options, 
very fun.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Uh, the other thing I want to show you

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
is to just pay attention
to what is hyphenated.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If you're writing out a lot of text

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and you're breaking on a line,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
it's going to create a hyphenation,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
so here's a hyphen, here's a hyphen,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
here's a hyphen, here's a hyphen.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Sometimes that's a really 
kind of annoying thing

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
when you're a viewer or a reader.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Just seeing a bunch of hyphens 
along the edge is kind of a bad design.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
It can get kind of um, 
irritating on your eyes.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So if you want to turn that off,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I recommend turning that off 
and it's just a really simple setting.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
If you scroll down
in your Properties panel,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you have to be on a text frame

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
because otherwise it won't have
all the opportunities, but scroll down.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Under this paragraph right here 
where you have paragraph options,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
you know, you've got center, 
justification, etc.,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
we have a hyphenate button.

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

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
rather than hyphenate, hyphenate, 
hyphenate all the time.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
That's hyphenation.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The other thing I want you 
to pay attention to is your spelling.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
There is nothing worse 
than looking at a beautiful design

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that has a bunch of spelling errors,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
because they become these little kind of

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
just nuisances to your brain.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So, you can, of course, 
check your spelling in a word document.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Particularly if you have a lot of text,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
use that kind of word document program,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
whatever it might be, 
to check your spelling.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Or if you're just going 
to type into InDesign,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
we do have a spellcheck feature.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So grab your text frame.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Actually you don't even need 
to grab a text frame.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You can go right into it. 
It's under the Edit menu.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Spelling, Check Spelling.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
This will go through like 
a normal kind of text editor

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
kind of word processing document

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and check all of your spelling.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Suggested, you can commit to it, 
you can skip it, ignore it, etc.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
When you're finished, you can hit Done.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So please check your spelling 
on your work.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Um, that again is just 
Edit, Spelling, Check Spelling.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You can also do Dynamic Spelling. 
That'll watch it as you type.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
That's an opportunity for you if you
like that kind of um, spelling work.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Okay, so we've done text wraps, 
hyphenation, spelling.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
The only other thing I'm going to show you

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
that people often like to do,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
because we've done it in other programs, 
is to flip things.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So if you've been experimenting

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
with flipping images 
horizontally or vertically

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
in Illustrator or Photoshop,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
we can do the same here.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So let's do it on this 
actual image of the waves.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So the way to do this 
is through transforming.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Once you have your file, of course,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and you've grabbed it 
with your selection tool,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
top of your properties panel 
is your Transform, up here.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
You always want to choose 
the reference point.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So if you're just transforming 
vertically or horizontally as a flip,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
like you were thinking of it in a mirror,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
I use the center point,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but you could also flip from edges.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So you would just simply click on an edge

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and that's the reference point 
from which it would flip.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
But I keep it on the center for ease.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Now of course, you could 
think about your X and Y

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
and your rotation and etc., your angle,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
but the easiest thing, I think, is either

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
use your rotations 
if that's what you're after

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
or here's the flipping options. 
Flip horizontal, flip vertical.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Kind of gives you a little preview 
of how it works in the icons,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
so here's a flip horizontal, 
here you see what's happened.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Of course, I may have 
to rethink my text there.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
Here's flip vertical.

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
So those, that's how those work,

99:59:59.999 --> 99:59:59.999
so a very easy opportunity to work 
with your images in InDesign.
