Create color labels for page thumbnails
You can assign colored labels to the page thumbnails in the Pages panel. For example, you can use color labels to indicate
the status of the pages, such as a green label for complete spreads, a yellow label for spreads being worked on, and a red
label for unstarted spreads.
1 In the Pages panel, select the pages to which you want to apply the color labels.
2 From the Pages panel menu, choose Color Label, and then choose the color to assign.
The color label appears below the thumbnail in the Pages panel.
Applying a color label to master pages affects all pages to which the master is applied. However, when you apply a color
label to individual document pages, the color label for the document pages is used. To use a color label for master pages,
select the document pages you want to change and choose Color Label > Use Master Color from the Pages panel menu.
Create new documents (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean
only)
Page design begins with the basics: starting a new document, setting up pages, and positioning margins and columns
or changing grid settings.
When creating a document you can select from two workflows, either Layout Grid or Margins and Columns.
note: Whichever workflow you select, the file type of the document will be exactly the same. You can view a layout grid
created in the document using Margins and Columns, or hide a document layout grid created using the Layout Grid
option by switching between views.
The workflow based on typesetting composition using Layout Grid is only available in Asian language versions. When
you select Layout Grid, a grid of squares will be displayed in the document. You can set the number of individual
squares (number of rows or characters) from the page size settings. Page margins will also be determined by this. By
using a layout grid you can position an object accurately on a page using grid cell units.
The Margins and Columns workflow option is the same as in Western workflows. Western workflows are configured
from Margins and Columns, and objects are arranged on pages without layout grids. You can set the writing direction
to horizontal or vertical using either the Margins and Columns or Layout Grid workflow.
Create a new document
1 Choose File > New > Document.
The New Document dialog box combines the Document Setup and the Margins And Columns dialog boxes, so that
you can set up the page size, margins, and page columns all in one place. You can change these settings at any time.
2 Specify document setup options. (See .)
