WEBVTT - generated by ViMP OTH Regensburg 1 00:00:10.200 --> 00:00:14.033 I would now like to take a closer look at the text frame tool. 2 00:00:14.100 --> 00:00:18.100 I also switch back to my bare template, in which only the guide 3 00:00:18.100 --> 00:00:22.300 lines are located and there are no other disturbing elements. 4 00:00:22.300 --> 00:00:28.200 We have marked the text frame tool with a T here in the toolbar on the left. 5 00:00:28.200 --> 00:00:30.900 If I click on it, it becomes active. 6 00:00:30.900 --> 00:00:32.400 You definitely need that. 7 00:00:32.400 --> 00:00:36.400 If you have not created a primary text frame, then 8 00:00:36.400 --> 00:00:39.900 you first have to draw frames on your 9 00:00:39.900 --> 00:00:42.900 document, in which you can then write. 10 00:00:42.900 --> 00:00:46.900 I'll do this right here measured against the guides, I pull 11 00:00:46.900 --> 00:00:50.900 it up in the margins of the page, and as soon as I release the 12 00:00:50.900 --> 00:00:55.733 mouse button, my cursor flashes here and I can start typing at that point. 13 00:00:55.733 --> 00:00:57.800 I have now created my text frame. 14 00:00:57.800 --> 00:01:01.000 I can adjust, move and reposition 15 00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:05.000 it with my selection tool. 16 00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:11.000 The text frames can always be scaled on these handles and adapted accordingly for 17 00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:12.000 the layout. 18 00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:17.000 If I now click on my text tool here, the cursor is active. 19 00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:22.000 You can see this flashing and I can start with my text 20 00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:25.000 immediately at this point and just start writing. 21 00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:29.000 Once you've created text, you can also format it. 22 00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:35.000 In the configuration bar, another view is now active. 23 00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:39.000 For this text tool, we have up here, for example, the 24 00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:43.000 font that I can select, the font size, the line spacing, 25 00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:47.000 but also buttons to set the text high or subscript and 26 00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:50.000 underline or strikethrough, etc. 27 00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:54.000 The special thing now is that there is no button with which you 28 00:01:54.000 --> 00:01:58.000 can make the texts bold, for example, but depending on which 29 00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:01.000 font you have chosen, there is a drop-down menu for the font styles under 30 00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:03.000 the font. 31 00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:05.000 So that's the font family. 32 00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:09.000 You can then decide that the text is displayed in semi-bold italics, for 33 00:02:09.000 --> 00:02:11.000 example, i.e. the selected text. 34 00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:14.000 The highlighted text is then adjusted accordingly, as in my case. 35 00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:18.000 And everything that is offered to you here in this 36 00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:22.000 dropdown is also intended and available by the font. 37 00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:26.000 Further to the right you will find the paragraph formatting, which 38 00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:31.000 allows us to align the text left-aligned, centered or right-aligned. 39 00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:35.000 Also to define indentations from left and right or 40 00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:38.000 to use special features such as an initial. 41 00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:39.000 Very important. 42 00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:42.000 On the far right you will also find the enumeration options. 43 00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:45.000 So non-numbered and numbered lists. 44 00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:51.000 This peculiarity, which we also see here on the left and there we can also 45 00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:54.000 switch between the character and paragraph formatting. 46 00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:56.000 Only available for this one tool. 47 00:02:56.000 --> 00:03:00.000 If I switch to paragraph formatting, then I 48 00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:05.000 actually get all paragraph formatting that affects entire paragraphs. 49 00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:07.000 Let's get back to the text frame. 50 00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:13.000 The text frame has these little squares all around that I can use to change it. 51 00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:17.000 But there is another special, eye-catching square, at the bottom right, 52 00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:19.000 which is slightly larger. 53 00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:21.000 And that has a special function. 54 00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:24.000 I'll start by filling a sample text into my text frame. 55 00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:27.000 You can do this via the right mouse button and don't have 56 00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:30.000 to type around wildly, but can use this example text. 57 00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:34.000 And if I adjust it now, for example change the font size or 58 00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:38.000 add paragraphs, simply change content, then this text no 59 00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:43.000 longer has enough space in the text frame that was intended for it in the layout. 60 00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:46.000 And you see, a red plus appears here at the bottom right. 61 00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:48.000 So a superset text has emerged. 62 00:03:48.000 --> 00:03:52.000 If I click on the plus time, then the overset text 63 00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:56.000 appears here in my mouse cursor as a preview and I can 64 00:03:56.000 --> 00:04:02.000 draw more text frames and that also on the next pages within my layout. 65 00:04:02.000 --> 00:04:07.000 And automatically my overset text is then redistributed into this text frame. 66 00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:11.000 Yes, that makes sense now, but when I look at it later, 67 00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:15.000 I may not even be aware of the course of this text. 68 00:04:15.000 --> 00:04:19.000 So we can open our own view to see how these text frames are linked to each 69 00:04:19.000 --> 00:04:20.000 other. 70 00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:25.000 To do this, switch to the main menu "View", "Tools" and there 71 00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:28.000 you will find the item "Show text chains". 72 00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:32.000 And with that, somewhat thicker light blue lines are drawn here, which 73 00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:36.000 also go over the pages and show me which text frames are linked to each other and 74 00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:37.000 how. 75 00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:42.000 In this example, we can also see well: these text chains can 76 00:04:42.000 --> 00:04:46.000 also run across page arcs and be distributed as desired. 77 00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:50.000 I'm now switching back to the OTH template here and see that 78 00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:54.000 there is already a heading and a continuous text here. 79 00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:58.000 The font sizes are fixed, the font is fixed. 80 00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:01.000 But 81 00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:05.000 here on the right, if you look in the bar, at the palettes that are 82 00:05:05.000 --> 00:05:09.000 offered to us, we have the paragraph and character formatting. 83 00:05:09.000 --> 00:05:13.000 And let's take a look at it, because it specifies what a headline 84 00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:17.000 should look like, for example, i.e. how the formatting of this 85 00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:22.000 heading should look like and also how the running text should be presented. 86 00:05:22.000 --> 00:05:25.000 So if I click into the text on the left, I get to see on the right which paragraph 87 00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:27.000 I am in. 88 00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:31.000 And also for the character formats, there is already a 89 00:05:31.000 --> 00:05:34.000 specification within the body text for a bold text. 90 00:05:35.000 --> 00:05:39.000 So what we find here, as soon as I click on this, then 91 00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:43.000 this character format also has an effect on the text 92 00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:47.000 and via these paragraph and character formats I now 93 00:05:47.000 --> 00:05:51.000 have access to predefined formats that I can use 94 00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:55.000 across my document or all documents that I create equally. 95 00:05:55.000 --> 00:05:59.000 If I right-click on a format here, I have the 96 00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:04.000 opportunity to edit it and take a closer look at it. 97 00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:08.000 So here is the format name, but you can see a 98 00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:14.000 whole list of settings that can be made to define this format. 99 00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:18.000 The format settings as they have now been made can be seen here in a summary. 100 00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:22.000 So a little bit has been done and I'm just going into the basic character 101 00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:23.000 formats now. 102 00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:28.000 For example, I can find the font size and the character 103 00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:31.000 spacing or line spacing, also the alignment, 104 00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:34.000 but all kinds of things can be defined here. 105 00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:36.000 You can take your time to look through it. 106 00:06:36.000 --> 00:06:39.000 And changes that you make here then have an effect 107 00:06:39.000 --> 00:06:42.000 on the whole, on the whole document, on the text. 108 00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:46.000 That's what's special about the paragraphs and character formats. 109 00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:50.000 So you can use these formats to create consistent text, 110 00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:54.000 but at the same time you also have the option of storing a 111 00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:57.000 format centrally, but also adapting it accordingly. 112 00:06:57.000 --> 00:07:02.000 And changes then have an effect beyond the text. 113 00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:06.000 You don't have to select individual elements to be reformatted, 114 00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:11.000 but wherever you have used a format, subsequent changes will also be active.
