Top 10 dierences

you need to understand

When you start using InDesign, you’ll quickly nd a number of

similarities between it and QuarkXPress: Both programs display spreads

on individual pasteboards; both have standard methods for saving and

opening documents and templates; each has a “toolbox” and oating panels.

InDesign was built to be intuitive and easy for QuarkXPress users to learn.

However, there are some signicant dierences between the two programs

that you must understand if you want to be procient in InDesign.

Modify dialog box replacements

In QuarkXPress, the Modify dialog

box contains controls for modify-

ing items, and most users open this

dialog box frequently as they build

pages. InDesign doesn’t have a com-

parable dialog box. Instead, controls

for modifying objects are available in

the Control panel, as well as in other

panels such as the Swatches, Text

Wrap, and Stroke panels.

To modify the placement of text

within a text frame—including num-

ber of columns, text inset values, and

placement of the rst line of text—

choose Object > Text Frame Options.

Frames are frames

InDesign has graphic, text, and unas-

signed frames, similar to those in

QuarkXPress. You can easily convert

a frame from one type to another. For

example, if you select a text frame,

choose File > Place, and choose an

image, InDesign changes the frame

to a graphic frame and replaces any

text with the placed image.

Similarly, if you click with the Type

tool on an empty graphic frame or

unassigned frame, InDesign converts

it to a text frame. If you prefer that

InDesign not do this, open the Pref-

erences dialog box (Command+K/

Ctrl+K), choose the Type pane, and

deselect the Type Tool Converts

Frames To Text Frames option.

Here are several more facts about

frames that you should note:

 e Rectangle Frame tool creates

graphic frames; the Rectangle tool

creates unassigned frames.

 Unassigned frames that have a

ll color of None are “empty,” so

you can click through them to

objects behind them. To learn how

to select objects behind text and

graphic frames, see “Selection tool

techniques” on page 36.

 Any path can be a frame. For

example, you can draw an open

U-shaped path with the Pencil tool

or the Pen tool, and then place text

or a graphic inside the shape.
