Index

• (Windows only) You can use the Line tab of the Modify dialog box (Item > Modify).

• You can use the Colors palette (Window > Colors).

• You can apply color, shade, and line gap settings using the Style > Color and Style >

Shade commands.

• You can use the Measurements palette.

Working with opacity

Opacity is applied at the color level, so you can specify opacity for just about anything

you can apply a color to, including the first or second color in a blend. This means you

can have different opacities at work on different attributes of the same item — a text box

frame, a background, a picture, and each character of text, for example, can have differing

opacities.

Specifying opacity

Specifying opacity is as easy as specifying the shade of a color. In fact, wherever you can

pick a color — in the Colors palette, the Measurements palette, the Style menu, various

tabs of the Modify dialog box, and more — you can enter an opacity value from 0%

(transparent) to 100% (opaque) in 0.1% increments.

To specify opacity for a picture:

• (Windows only) Enter a value in the Opacity field of the Picture tab (Item > Modify).

• (Mac OS X only) Enter a value in the Opacity field of the Picture Box tab of the

Measurements palette.

Specifying opacity for groups

Keep in mind that when you stack items of varying opacities, the colors are combined and

may produce a buildup of ink. For example, if you place a yellow box with a 30% opacity

in front of a cyan box with 100% opacity, the box in front will become slightly greenish.

You can control this by grouping items and specifying a group opacity rather than

individual item opacities. To do this, on Windows, use the Group Opacity field in the

Group tab of the Modify dialog box (Item menu) and on Mac OS X use the Home tab of

the Measurements palette. Depending on the effect you want, you may need to revert

the Opacity field for the individual items to 100% (otherwise, each item's opacity is added

to the group's opacity).
