Page Design Ribbon - b

Quick reference

• 00:04 All right continuing on from the previous video, let's continue with the page design
• 00:09 ribbon, I'm still in my trader news newsletter.
• 00:11 I'm gonna focus on pages.
• 00:13 Now if you'll notice on my left hand panel, I'm doing my navigation pane.
• 00:17 And when I flip my mouse over these it says page 1, page 2 and 3, and page 4.
• 00:21 Now when I click Delete,
• 00:22 I can actually delete one of these pages which I'm not going to do.
• 00:26 I'm going to hit Cancel right now.
• 00:27 But that's the fastest way to use last month's newsletter and
• 00:31 just make a couple changes.
• 00:33 All right, I can move a page.
• 00:35 So I'm gonna go ahead and click move Page 1 after page 2.
• 00:39 Now go ahead and hit OK, and watch what happens on the left hand side.
• 00:43 They just rearranged and notice my page, my trader news,
• 00:47 is right here, my title moved to page 2 that quickly.
• 00:50 Now I wanna move it back since I just made that change.
• 00:53 Ctrl+Z will put it right back and you'll see it come up right here on the screen.
• 00:58 Okay, and maybe I wanna rename these.
• 01:01 It's always a good idea to actually name your pages.
• 01:03 I know page 1, 2, 3, 4, is self explanatory, but
• 01:06 what if this is a 20 page newsletter and I need to know which one is the coupon page,
• 01:11 which one is the sign up page?
• 01:13 So you can actually rename these.
• 01:14 I'll go ahead and click on Rename.
• 01:16 And I'll type Title Page right here.
• 01:18 And when I hit OK.
• 01:20 Now when flip my mouse over page 1, it now says Title Page.
• 01:23 A great way to keep track of which pages are on your screen.
• 01:27 Now I wanna show you one other trick.
• 01:30 I know that Page Design and the pages are right here but
• 01:32 when I hit a right-mouse over here, I have these same options.
• 01:36 Delete, Move, Rename.
• 01:38 Now a trick about the right-mouse is any time there's a little icon showing on
• 01:42 the left, there's a matching icon somewhere on a ribbon up above.
• 01:46 So if you notice, these three icons happen to be matching right here.
• 01:49 These three icons.
• 01:51 We have more as well.
• 01:52 Page numbers?
• 01:53 I can actually put page numbers on my pages right here, instead of having to go
• 01:57 to Master Pages way over here on the end and doing page numbers.
• 02:01 I can do it right here.
• 02:02 I can also open up master pages and actually work in here on my headers and
• 02:07 footers as well.
• 02:08 Now there was a whole video lesson about headers and footers,
• 02:11 I'd encourage you to watch that cuz that's where we talked a lot about master pages.
• 02:14 I do wanna see, you to see what happens when I turn off.
• 02:17 View 2 page spread,
• 02:18 you're gonna see the results on my navigation pane right here on the left.
• 02:22 Turn that off, now they all went to single pages.
• 02:26 I can't tell which pages are facing each other.
• 02:29 Okay, so I personally prefer my view 2 page spread because it shows me page 2 and
• 02:35 3 are called facing pages.
• 02:37 They would actually open up and mirror each other.
• 02:40 So I do like that feature, I always leave that one on.
• 02:43 All right one other thing I wanna show you in here is on this particular screen,
• 02:48 I wanna make an image the entire background.
• 02:52 Now I'm gonna click, I'm on my title page, I'm gonna click on this particular image
• 02:56 and notice this apply image button just popped up.
• 02:59 Well it was grayed out and now It's all colored, so now I can use it.
• 03:03 Now this is gonna tell me to fill the entire background with
• 03:07 the picture or tile it.
• 03:08 I'm gonna fill the entire background.
• 03:10 Now you can't really see it on this screen but
• 03:12 look what happened over here on page 1 of my page navigation.
• 03:15 This now resembles maybe the cover page of a magazine.
• 03:21 Let me zoom in.
• 03:22 Doesn't that look nice?
• 03:24 All because I happened to click on this particular picture and
• 03:27 I filled the background with it.
• 03:28 So that is a great idea if you want a full color layout.
• 03:33 Now Ctrl+Z of course will take that away.
• 03:35 Another thing you can do here is the background.
• 03:37 I can actually choose a background color.
• 03:40 And it already matches the theme, the color theme.
• 03:43 Or, if I Ctrl+Z that, I can actually change the entire color theme of this
• 03:48 entire newsletter by simply clicking on here.
• 03:50 I'll make it something, here, we'll go with this opulent, very maroon colors.
• 03:54 Now again, take a look at that left hand navigation panel and I choose opulent and
• 03:59 watch what happens, the entire thing just recolored itself even the text if you look
• 04:03 at my front screen right here, even the text auto colored itself.
• 04:07 So it's that fast to make these changes, you don't have to do a lot of work.
• 04:10 Simply go to your page design ribbon and run through the tools and
• 04:14 see what happens.
• 04:15 It's pretty awesome, thank you.
