Mini Bridge
Every InDesign user needs to man-
age graphics, text les, InDesign
les, and other assets on disk. e
Mini Bridge panel (Window >
Mini Bridge) allows you to see your
disk les inside a oating panel
in InDesign. Note that the Adobe
Bridge application must also be run-
ning to take full advantage of the
Mini Bridge panel.
To nd a le on disk, click the Search
icon in the Mini Bridge panel.
en you can place the le into your
InDesign document by dragging it
from the Content pane in the Mini
Bridge panel to the document page.
To preview a le before you place it,
select it in the Mini Bridge panel and
press the spacebar to make the image
ll your screen. Press the spacebar
again to return to your document.
Working with master pages
Although you can use master pages
in InDesign the same way you use
them in QuarkXPress, if you did,
you’d be missing an opportunity to
improve your eciency.
For example, you can base one mas-
ter page on another. Let’s say you
are laying out a catalog that has ve
sections, each with a dierent back-
ground page color. You could put the
objects that you want on all pages
(page number, headers, and so on)
on master page A, and then create
ve master pages based on that one—
each with a dierent colored back-
ground. When you need to make a
change to all of the master pages (for
example, changing the font for the
headers), you would need to make
the change only to master page A—
the other master pages would auto-
matically update. To base one master
page on another, use the Based On
Master pop-up menu when creating
a master page, or select a master page
and choose Master Options from the
Pages panel menu.
You can apply a master page to more
than one document page at a time
by choosing Apply Master To Pages
from the Pages panel menu.
To copy a single master page from
one document to another, make sure
both document windows are visible
at the same time. en, make the
document with the master page the
