Hi, there in this video, you learn how to add a master text frame to your advantage, so let's get

2
00:00:12,940 --> 00:00:13,450
started.

3
00:00:14,470 --> 00:00:21,640
Let's first go to layout and margins and columns and increase the number of columns to two and reduce

4
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,700
the gutter to P seven and hit OK.

5
00:00:25,870 --> 00:00:28,030
Suppose we need a page per topic.

6
00:00:28,030 --> 00:00:34,840
So instead of typing in the title in each page in setting its font and font size individually, wouldn't

7
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,780
it be better to have a template set on the monster page?

8
00:00:38,470 --> 00:00:45,340
So let's double click A.I.M. and grabbed the text tool and make a text box on top right about this size?

9
00:00:45,820 --> 00:00:49,570
Let's add the text InDesign training topic one.

10
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:56,070
Now we can style it, so let's change the font to one of my favorite fonts and Poppins Bold.

11
00:00:56,890 --> 00:01:01,240
Also, increase the size to 30 points and then send to align it.

12
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:07,240
Well, this is the horizontal center alignment, but our text is still not vertically center aligned

13
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:08,260
to the text box.

14
00:01:08,590 --> 00:01:13,210
So grab the selection tool and you shall find that option here on top.

15
00:01:13,810 --> 00:01:18,070
Just click it once and the text will be center aligned vertically as well.

16
00:01:18,460 --> 00:01:24,880
Since this is a monster element, it will now show on every page so you don't have to bother typing

17
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:26,560
in the topic on every page.

18
00:01:26,980 --> 00:01:29,880
All you need to do is change the topic number.

19
00:01:30,310 --> 00:01:34,300
Let's go to Page two and change the topic number here.

20
00:01:34,690 --> 00:01:38,410
I hope you remember the shortcut to override the master page settings.

21
00:01:38,410 --> 00:01:45,880
You learned it in the last one, its shift command on a Mac or shift control on a PC, and then click

22
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:49,270
the text box and it shall override the master settings.

23
00:01:49,780 --> 00:01:54,850
Now you can make your changes and then move on to the next page to make it topic three.

24
00:01:55,270 --> 00:01:59,590
So this is something that can help ease your work and make you more efficient.

25
00:02:00,370 --> 00:02:05,350
Alright, guys, that's another short one, and it's time to grab a cup of coffee, and I shall see

26
00:02:05,350 --> 00:02:06,490
you in the next one.

27
00:02:06,550 --> 00:02:07,120
Goodbye.
