Before you convert a Composition Zones item to a picture, the Composition Zones
item displays in the Composition Zones pane of the Usage dialog box (Utilities
menu). But when you choose Item > Composition Zones > Convert to Picture, an
alert indicates that the Composition Zones item will become unsynchronized. The
resulting picture displays in the Picture pane of the Usage dialog box. However, the
composition layout remains in the Content palette.
Unsynchronizing a Composition Zones item
When you unsynchronize a Composition Zones item, its composition layout remains
available in your project. To unsynchronize a Composition Zones item:
1
Select the Composition Zones item in the layout window.
2
Choose Item > Unsynchronize. The composition layout remains in the Content
palette for future use. But subsequent changes to the unsynchronized
Composition Zones items in the layout window will not be synchronized.
Editing a composition layout: Content
When you edit a composition layout, you can change content and adjust layout-level
attributes.
To edit the contents of a composition layout:
1
Click the layout name in the layout tab at the bottom of the project window (available
if Show Tab in Project Window is checked). If the composition layout name does
not display in the layout tab, select the Item tool and double-click the Compositions
Zones item.
2
When the composition layout displays, all the composition layout contents are available
for editing. You can use menu and palette commands to alter text, graphics, and items,
and you can use tools to add content.
3
Closing the window updates the content in the Composition Zones item.
Editing the contents of a composition layout
Your method for accessing a composition layout for editing is determined by your
Show Tab in Project Window setting in the Advanced Layout Properties dialog box.
When you check Show Tab in Project Window, you can access the composition
layout from the layout tab at the top of the project window. Simply click the tab to
activate the composition layout for editing content and layout attributes.
If you don't check Show Tab in Project Window, you have to select the Item tool
and double click the original Composition Zones item. The composition layout displays.
For a composition layout created from an entire layout, check Show Tab in Project
Window in the Advanced Layout Properties dialog box so you can access the layout
easily. Otherwise, you have to select the composition layout in the Content palette,
click Edit, and then check Show Tab in Project Window.
