Whitespaceelements:usingoptionalspaceattheendofthelastpage
Printsectionswithconditionalcontentanddynamictables(see"Personalizingcontent"onpage708)
canhaveavariableamountofspaceatthebottomofthelastpage.Itisusefultofilltheemptyspaceat
thebottomwithtranspromotionalmaterial,butofcourseyoudon’twantextrapagescreatedjustforpro-
motionaldata.'Whitespaceelements'areelementsthatwillonlyappearonthepageifthereisenough
spaceforthem.
Toconvertanelementintoawhitespaceelement:
1. Importthepromotionalimageorsnippet;see"Images"onpage649and"Snippets"onpage661.
2. Insertthepromotionalimageorsnippetinthecontent.
Note:
l
Onlyatop-levelelement(forexample,aparagraphthatisnotinsideatableordiv)
canfunctionasawhitespaceelement.
l
Donotplacethepromotionalimageorsnippetinsideanabsolutepositionedbox.
Whitespacingonlyworksforelementsthatarepartofthetextflow,notforabsolute-
positionedboxes.
3. Selecttheimageortheelementthatholdsthepromotionalcontent:clickit,orusethebread-
crumbs,orselectitontheOutlinetab;see"Selectinganelement"onpage570.
4. OntheAttributespane,checktheoptionWhitespace element.
5. (Optional.)Addextraspaceatthetopoftheelement:onthemenuFormat,clicktheoptionrel-
evanttotheselectedelement(Imageforanimage,Paragraphforaparagraph,etc.)andadjust
thespacing(paddingand/ormargins).
Donotaddanemptyparagraphtoprovidespacebetweenthewhitespaceelementandthevari-
ablecontent.Theextraparagraphwouldbeconsideredcontentandcouldenduponaseparate
page,togetherwiththewhitespaceelement.
Pagenumbers
Inserting page numbers
PagenumberscanbeaddedtoaPrintsection,buttheyareusuallyaddedtoaMasterPage,because
headersandfootersaredesignedonMasterPages;seealso:"MasterPages"onpage462.
Toinsertapagenumber,selectInsert > Special character > Markersonthemenu,andthenclick
oneoftheoptionstodecidewithwhatkindofpagenumberthemarkerwillbereplaced:
l
Page number:Thecurrentpagenumberinthedocument.Ifapageisemptyordoesnotdisplay
apagenumber,itisstilladdedtothepagecount.
