Getting Started 15 Once you've clicked on a new article the "new" indicator changes to a "read" indicator. Don't forget to use the keyword Search box at the top-right of the Startup Assistant. This is an incredibly powerful tool for filtering specific publication names, Learn articles, page sizes, theme layout names, or news articles.
16 Getting Started Theme layouts offer a choice of themes (e.g., Ribbon) on which to base your publication (Brochure, Business Card, Flyer, Forms, Letterheads, Newsletter, ePublication, etc.); you'll get picture placeholders instead of actual pictures. Simply add your own pictures to placeholders and personalize placeholder text, then publish. You can also choose which page layouts you want to base your new publication on.
Getting Started 17 To create a publication from a design template: 1. Open PagePlus, or select Startup Assistant from the File menu. 2. Click Templates. 3. From the pane, select a Theme Layout or a design template from the Pro Template Packs category.

Pages 27 Setting up a publication A publication's page size, orientation and intent settings are fundamental to your layout, and are defined when the new publication is first created, either using a design template or as a new publication. Properly setting up your publication size and intent at the outset reduces the chance of encountering problems when publishing and printing. To adjust size/orientation of the current publication: Publication Setup from the Pages context toolbar. 1. Select 2.
28 Pages Once you've set up your publication, you can optionally include repeated page elements on every page by creating master pages (p. 33). Intent Setting the intent for your publication determines how text is composed and rendered, so should be decided at the start of your project. Changing intent after you've finished designing can alter the appearance of your publication and can affect text flow. You may need to adjust text frame sizes and layouts. 1.
Pages 29 Uniform and mixed page orientations If you've changed your mind about the page orientation chosen at page setup, you can change the page orientation uniformly across your publication at any time. To change all publication pages from portrait to landscape (or vice versa): • On the Pages context toolbar, click the down arrow on the Publication Orientation button, then select Landscape Publication (or Portrait Publication) from the flyout.
30 Pages - or From the Pages context toolbar, click the down arrow on the Page orientation button, then select Landscape Page (or Portrait Page) from the flyout. You can repeat the procedure for any other selected page. Hyperlink colours Hyperlink colours, on-page colour, background colour, and your background image can be set globally. Choose whether pages have individual background properties or whether they adopt publication settings. (See Setting page properties in PagePlus Help.
Pages 2. 31 Uncheck Underlined adjacent to the relevant hyperlink colour. To set a background image: 1. Choose Colours from the Publication Setup dialog and click Background Image. 2. In the Background dialog, check Use Background Image and pick an image: 3. Click OK. Background colours or images are not applied to pages on creation. To apply these publication settings, right-click the page, select Page Properties and check Use publication settings. (See Setting page properties in PagePlus Help.
32 Pages you're currently working on. To work on a particular page, doubleclick its thumbnail. 2. Click Add to add a page (or master page) before the one selected in the window. - or To add a new page at the end of the publication, deselect all pages by clicking in the neutral region of the lower window, then click the Add button. To add master pages: For master pages, the above procedure applies but you need to click Master Pages to open its window first. To delete a single page/master page: 1.
Pages 33 Understanding master pages Master pages provide a flexible way to store background elements that you'd like to appear on more than one page—for example a logo, background, header/footer, or border design. (A) Page, (B) Master Page The key concept here is that a particular master page is typically shared by multiple pages, as illustrated below.
34 Pages Master pages are available in every publication, but in a simple publication you may not need to use any master pages—or you may need only one master page. Facing pages and multiple master pages prove valuable with longer, more complex publications. If you're starting with a design template you may encounter one or more master pages incorporated with the design.
Pages 35 To assign a master page: • From the expanded Master Pages window in the Pages tab, drag a master page onto a target standard page in the lower window. Click Page Identifiers to indicate the master pages used on the currently selected page(s). The master page is represented as a letter on the Page, e.g. A, B, C, etc.
36 Pages In the example above, a newly assigned master page B would add a new master layer ('Master Layer 2 [B]') to the publication page's Layers tab. For an introduction to the concept of layers, see Working with layers on p. 42. An additional master page needs to be created first. See Adding, removing, and rearranging pages on p. 31.
Pages 37 spreads) if necessary—master pages are assigned per page and not per spread. For example (see below), a left-hand "body text" page might use the left-side component of one master page (A), while a right-hand page could use the right side of a different master page (B). Editing master page objects If you're editing pages which use master pages, master page objects will contribute to your page design.
38 Pages • Click Promote from Master Page to disconnect the object from the master page and make it independently editable on the publication page. Using page numbering Page number fields automatically display the current page number. Typically, these fields are added automatically to the master page (so they appear on every page) with the Header and Footers Wizard (Insert menu), but you can insert a page number field anywhere in your master page text.
Pages 39 To set the first page number: 1. Uncheck Continue from previous chapter. PagePlus keeps this checked by default so that number continuation is maintained if your publication is to be part of a book. 2. Enter a different First Page Number. For simple publications, it's likely that the same page format is used (e.g., Arabic numerals throughout).
40 Pages Viewing pages Most of the PagePlus display is taken up by a page or "artwork" area and a surrounding "pasteboard" area. In PagePlus, the Page area (A) is where you add and position your text, shapes, and pictures that you want to print. The Pasteboard area (B) is where you generally keep any text, shapes, or pictures that are being prepared or waiting to be positioned on the page area. To move or copy an object between pages via the Pasteboard: 1.
Pages 41 PagePlus makes it easy to see exactly what you're working on—from a wide view of multiple pages to a close-up view of a small region. For example, you can use the scroll bars at the right and bottom of the main window to move the page and pasteboard with respect to the main window. If you're using a wheel mouse, you can scroll vertically by rotating the wheel, or horizontally by Shift-scrolling.
42 Pages Working with layers When you create a new publication from scratch or from some design templates, the page(s) you create will initially consist of two layers—one for the page (Layer 1) and one for the associated master page (see p. 33). The layers can be seen within a hierarchical stack on the Layers tab. One layer may be enough to accommodate the elements of a particular layout, but you can create additional layers as needed for the page.
Pages 43 To select a particular layer: • Click a layer name. The layer entry then possesses a dark blue background. To display master page layers: • Double-click the master layer entry. The Layers tab now shows the master page's layers. The master page is now shown in the workspace. For more information about master pages and assigning them to pages, see Understanding master pages on p. 33.
44 Pages Layer names and properties The Layers tab lets you rename layers and set a variety of properties for one or more layers. To rename the layer: 1. In the Layers tab, select the layer first, then click on its name. 2. At the insertion point, type a new name then either press the Return key or click away from the tab. To set layer properties: • Display the Layers tab. Select desired settings for the selected layer.
Assets for Creativity
46 Assets for Creativity
Assets for Creativity Using assets An asset is a general term for any object or page element that can be added to your page to enhance its appearance, increase efficiency, or personalize your design. Assets range from graphics, logos, pictures, picture frames, and backgrounds (as shown below), to more complex page content and entire pages. To use assets, PagePlus provides the Assets tab, powered by both an Asset Browser (p. 50) and Asset Manager.
48 Assets for Creativity Using the Assets tab The Assets tab is a powerful design resource that exclusively hosts your browsed assets, ready for adding to your publication page. Assets can be placed into the following categories. • My Designs: Stores custom assets dragged from the page. • Graphics: Stores professional clipart from Asset Packs. • Pictures: Stores added pictures from your hard disk (or from Asset Pack, if containing pictures). • Picture Frames: Stores picture frames from Asset Packs.
Assets for Creativity 49 The tab also lets you create custom designs for reuse globally or just in your publication. You'll be able to: • Store your own designs to the tab's My Designs category for global use. • Store your own designs to any other tab's category for current publication use. • Create custom picture frames from drawn shapes. • Create custom page backgrounds from pictures or filled page objects. • Create custom page content (combinations of assets).
50 Assets for Creativity Browsing The Asset Browser offers a whole range of professional ready-to-go designs that you can use directly in your publication. These designs are provided in categorized Asset Packs installed with PagePlus. You can browse these packs and preview their contents, before adding assets to your workspace. There are two ways to browse assets—by category or by Asset Pack.
Assets for Creativity 51 Searching for assets The search facility filters assets based on preset and custom tags applied to all of the Asset Packs shown in the Asset Browser. To apply a search filter: • For a simple tag search, type the word or letter you want to search for in the Search text box, situated at the top right of the dialog. This is useful for retrieving assets with custom tags attached. Filtering assets Filtering means that you can restrict the amount of assets on display.
52 Assets for Creativity Adding assets to your Assets tab To add a specific asset: • Select the category or pack file in the Asset Browser, and then simply click the asset. A check mark shows on the thumbnail. To add all assets: • Click Add All from the upper-right corner of each Asset Pack's thumbnail gallery. Check marks will show on all thumbnails. With either method, asset(s) will be available to you from the Assets tab when you close the Asset Browser.

Text 55 Understanding text frames Typically, text in PagePlus goes into text frames, which work equally well as containers for single words, standalone paragraphs, multipage articles, or chapter text. You can also use artistic text (see p. 70) for standalone text with special effects, or table text (on p. 87) for row-and-column displays.
56 Text Frame linking Frames can be linked so that a single story continues from one frame to another. But text frames can just as easily stand alone. Thus in any publication, you can create text in a single frame, spread a story over several frames, and/or include completely independent frames. By placing text frames anywhere, in any order, you can build up newspaper or newsletter style publications with a story flowing: • between linked frames on the same page.
Text • from one column to another in the same frame. Creating text frames You add text frames and position them on the page as you would any other object, in advance of adding text content. To create a frame: Standard Text Frame on the Tools toolbar. 1. Select 2. Click on the page or pasteboard to create a new frame at a default size. - or Drag out to place the text frame at your chosen dimensions.
58 Text You can select, move, and resize text frames just like other objects (see PagePlus Help for details). When you select a frame's bounding box, indicated by a solid border, you can manage the frame properties; selecting inside a frame creates a blinking insertion point in the frame's text (the frame's boundary box becomes hatched to indicate editing mode). In this mode, you can edit the text. (For details, see Editing text on the page on p. 72.
Text 59 Adding pictures into a text frame Pictures can be placed inline at any point in your story in a text frame, with PagePlus prompting you to resize the picture to fit with the text frames dimensions if it is too large. If you add further story text before the picture, the inline picture will move with the surrounding text. To add a picture to a text frame: 1. Add an empty paragraph to your text frame at the point you want to add your picture, i.e. press Return at the end of an existing paragraph.
60 Text Frame properties and layout The frame layout controls how text will flow in the frame. The frame can contain multiple columns. When a frame is selected, its column margins appear as dashed grey guide lines if set in Frame Properties. Note that unlike the page margin and row/column guides, which serve as layout guides for placing page elements, the frame column guides actually determine how text flows within each frame. Text won't flow outside the column margins.
Text (1) (2) 61 (3) The frame edge is clicked to show a selected bounding box (1), after dragging inwards the column margin can be adjusted (2), and after dragging downwards, the top margin blind can be moved (3). To edit frame properties using a dialog: Text Frame Properties on the Frame 1. Select the frame and click context toolbar. 2. From the dialog, use the three menu options to set up your frame. 3.
62 Text To apply the same values across all columns in the dialog, hover over a column header, then select 'Make Values Equal', 'Set Values to Lowest', or 'Set Values to Highest' using the drop-down menu. If you're using facing pages, PagePlus's Frame Setup lets you 'mirror' text frames appearing on left and right pages of a page spread with respect to frame settings (margins, columns etc.). Separate or linked text frames can be mirrored across the spread equally. To mirror text frames: 1.
Text 63 Baseline grid Clean and consistent typography is very important in design. PagePlus X8's baseline grid eases the process, using a global document alignment grid or grids for individual text frames. The grid is strictly for text alignment and is non-printing, so you only see it while designing. When to use a Baseline Grid The baseline grid layout option should be enabled when you want the neatest text layout, especially when composing using multi-column text frames or multiple frames per page.
64 Text Adding a baseline grid to an individual text frame Any text frame can have its own baseline grid that is independent of a publication-wide grid. While for neatest layouts a publication-wide grid is recommended, applying a grid to an individual text frame gives you more control. To apply a baseline grid to an individual text frame: 1. Select a text frame you want to apply the baseline grid to. 2. From the Frame context toolbar, select 3. Select Baseline Grid in the left of the window. 4.
Text 65 Fitting text to frames Fitting story text precisely into a sequence of frames is part of the art of laying out publications. If there's too much story text to fit in a frame sequence, PagePlus stores it in an invisible overflow area and the Link button on the last frame of the sequence displays ; an AutoFlow button appears next to the Link button. You might edit the story down or make more room for it by adding an extra frame or two to the sequence.
66 Text Each frame's story text can adopt its own individual autofit setting: The AutoFit Options flyout offers three autofit options which continuously act upon a selected frame's story text. No AutoFit This is the normal mode of operation where, if selected, text won't automatically scale throughout the selected text frame, possibly leaving partly empty frames at the end of the frame sequence.
Text 67 you can decide whether to use AutoFit or click the frame's AutoFlow button. To AutoFlow story text on the page: • AutoFlow button just to the left of the frame's Click the Link button. If no other empty frames are detected, you'll be prompted to autoflow text into a new frame(s) the same size as the original or to new frame(s) sized to the page. If an empty frame exists anywhere in your publication, PagePlus will detect the first empty frame and prompt to flow text into this.
68 Text Overflow The populated frame is not linked (either standalone or last frame) and there is additional story text in the hidden overflow area. An Autoflow button also appears to the left of the Link button. Continued The frame is linked to a following frame. The end of the story text may be visible, or it may flow into the following frame. The button icon will be red if the final frame of the sequence is overflowing, or green if there's no overflow.
Text 69 To link the selected frame to an existing frame: 1. Click the frame's Link button (showing 2. Click with the Textflow cursor on the frame to be linked to. or .) To link the selected frame to a newly drawn frame: • As above, but instead of clicking a "target" frame, either click on the page (for a default frame) or drag across the page (to create a frame sized to your requirements). The latter is ideal for quickly mapping out linked frames across different pages.
70 Text Using artistic text Artistic text is standalone text you type directly onto a page. Especially useful for headlines, pull quotes, and other special-purpose text, it's easily formatted with the standard text tools. To create artistic text: Artistic Text Tool from the Tools toolbar. 1. Choose the 2. Click on the page to make an insertion point from where you'll begin typing. 3. Set initial text properties (style, font, point size, etc.) using the Text context toolbar. 4.
Text • 71 To resize freely, hold down the Shift key while dragging. To edit artistic text: • Drag to select a range of text, creating a blue selection. You can also double-click to select a word, or triple-click to select all text. Now you can type new text, apply character and paragraph formatting, edit the text in WritePlus, apply proofing options, and so on.
72 Text Editing text on the page You can use the Pointer Tool to edit frame text, table text, or artistic text directly. On the page, you can select and enter text, set paragraph indents and tab stops, change text properties, apply text styles, and use Find and Replace. Selecting and entering text The selection of frame text, artistic text, and table text follows the conventions of the most up-to-date word-processing tools. The selection area is shaded in semi-transparent blue for clear editing.
Text 2. 73 Type to insert new text or overwrite selected text, respectively. To start a new paragraph: • Press the Return key. To start a new line within the same paragraph (using a line break or soft return): • Press Shift+Return. To flow text to the next column (Column Break), frame (Frame Break) or page (Page Break): • Press Ctrl+Return, Alt+Return or Ctrl+Shift+Return, respectively. The first two options apply only to frame text.
74 Text Setting text properties PagePlus gives you a high degree of typographic control over characters and paragraphs, whether you're working with frame text, table text, or artistic text. To apply basic text formatting: 1. Select the text. 2. Use buttons on the Text context toolbar to change text style, font, point size, attributes, paragraph alignment, bullets/numbering, or level.
Text 75 To clear local formatting (restore plain/default text properties): 1. Select a range of text with local formatting. 2. Click on the Clear Formatting option on the Text context toolbar's text styles drop-down list (or Text Styles tab). Using fonts One of the most dramatic ways to change your publication's appearance is to change the fonts used in your artistic text, frame text, or table text.
76 Text 1" or "Body", and character styles to convey meaning, such as "Emphasis", "Strong", or "Subtle Reference". Styles can be applied to characters or paragraphs using either the Text context toolbar or the Text Styles tab. Both paragraph and character styles can be managed from the Text Style Palette. Paragraph and character styles A paragraph style is a complete specification for the appearance of a paragraph, including all font and paragraph format attributes.
Text 77 The Text Style tab highlights the paragraph or character style applied to any selected text. As both paragraph and character formatting can be applied to the same text, all of the current text's formatting is displayed in the Current format box on the tab. In the example below, currently selected text has a 'Strong' character style applied over a 'Body' paragraph style. To update a named style using the properties of existing text: 1.
78 Text 4. Click Apply to update text, or click Close to maintain the style in the publication for future use. Alternatively, choose Text Style Palette from the Format menu to modify styles and to change text defaults (see PagePlus Help). Creating custom text styles If required, you can create your own custom styles, either based on a currently selected text style or from scratch. See PagePlus Help for more information.
Text 79 To wrap text around an object: 1. Select the object around which you want the text to wrap. 2. Click the 3. Select the manner in which text will wrap around the object by clicking a sample. 4. Choose which side(s) the chosen wrapping method will be applied, again by clicking a sample. 5. Click OK. Wrap Settings button on the Arrange toolbar.
80 Text Creating a bulleted or numbered list You can turn a series of paragraphs into bulleted, numbered or multilevel lists. Bullets are especially useful when listing items of interest in no specific order of preference, numbered lists for presenting step-bystep procedures (by number or letter), and multi-level lists for more intelligent hierarchical lists with prefixed numbers, symbols, or a mix of both, all with supporting optional text (see Using multi-level lists on p. 81).
Text 81 2. Select Bullets and Numbering from the Format menu. 3. From the Text Style dialog's Bullets and Numbering menu option, choose Bullet, Number, or Multi-Level from the Style drop-down list. 4. Select one of the preset formats shown by default. - or For a custom list, click the Details button to display, then alter custom options. 5. Click OK to apply list formatting.
82 Text If you apply a multi-level preset to a range of text you'll get a list with the preset's Level 1 format applied by default. Unless you use text styles, you'll have to change to levels 2, 3, 4, etc. to set the correct level for your list entry. Changing list levels on selected paragraphs: • Click the Increase Paragraph Indent or Decrease Paragraph Indent button on the Text context toolbar to increment or decrement the current level by one.
Text 83 you create publication variants, with each differing just in their user details. You can choose which set to use when you start with a new design template (or at any time during your session). To add, edit or change user details: 1. User Details button on the Pages context toolbar Click the (deselect objects to view). 2. Enter new information into the spaces on the Business Sets or Home tab (a Calendars tab will appear if there is a calendar in your publication). 3. Click Update.

Tables, Charts, and Calendars
86 Tables, Charts, and Calendars
Tables, Charts, and Calendars 87 Creating tables Tables are ideal for presenting text and data in a variety of easily customizable row-and-column formats, with built-in spreadsheet capabilities. Rather than starting from scratch, PagePlus is supplied with a selection of pre-defined table formats, called AutoFormats, that can be used. Simply pick one and fill in the cells with content. PagePlus lets you: • Edit the pre-defined format before adding a new table to the page.
88 Tables, Charts, and Calendars 4. Set the Table Size. This is the number of rows and columns that make up the table layout. 5. Click OK. The new table appears on the page. Plan your table layout in advance, considering the number of rows/columns needed! Flowing tables It is possible to create tables that can be split into multiple parts on the same page or even across multiple pages.
Tables, Charts, and Calendars 89 To create a flowing table from scratch: 1. Create your table as described in To create a table (p. 87). 2. On the control bar under your selected table, click Flow Down to create a linked table based on extra rows, or Flow Right for a linked table based on extra columns. If you've a table that you've created previously or you're redesigning your table layout, you can split it by row or column. To split up an existing flowing table: 1. Select the table. 2.
90 Tables, Charts, and Calendars For flowing tables it's a great idea to repeat the initial table's row or column headers on each linked table. This is essential for correct referencing of table data. Row or column headers are repeated on all linked tables based on extra rows (Flow down) or columns (Flow right). You can't repeat row and column headers in the same linked table sequence. To repeat row/column headers: 1. Select the initial table in the table flow. 2.
Tables, Charts, and Calendars 91 Using charts For any small business, club, or school project, the ability to present important data professionally will impress your audience, and potentially gain support for your activities. Tables and charts are intrinsically linked in PagePlus. If you need a recap on tables, see Creating tables on p. 87. PagePlus also lets you create multiple charts from the same table data using the Chart Data tab. See Manipulating chart data (in PagePlus Help) for more information.
92 Tables, Charts, and Calendars Charts explained Charts are made up of specific elements. Once you learn how to manipulate each element using the Charts tab and Chart Data tab, you'll be able to create powerful charts easily. (A) Chart Title, (B) Series, (C) Go to Chart Data link, (D) Go to Associated Table link, (E) Series Legend, (F) Chart Area. Data sources The first step in creating charts is to consider what data you'll want to base your chart on.
Tables, Charts, and Calendars Data source 93 Description Using PagePlus's Chart Data tab, you can either: • Chart Data tab -or • PagePlus table External spreadsheet Create your own off-the-page chart data without the need for a PagePlus table. See Creating charts from scratch on p. 93. Create chart variations (of differing type and data ranges) from a single PagePlus table. For more details, see Manipulating chart data (in PagePlus Help) for more information.
94 Tables, Charts, and Calendars To create a chart from scratch: Table Tools flyout, select 1. From the Tools toolbar's Chart Tool. 2. On the context toolbar, from the Chart drop-down list, select a chart type. 3. Click on the page or drag out the chart to the desired size. At this point, the chart is just a placeholder, using sample data automatically added to the Chart Data tab.
Tables, Charts, and Calendars types, base your chart on different ranges, and toggle series as row or columns. Editing titles To edit your chart title: • Click on the chart title and begin typing. Formatting and styling charts To display the Charts tab: • At the bottom of your right-hand tab group, click Charts. The tab offers three buttons called Chart, Axes, and Series. • Chart: Used for title and series legend control and positioning.
96 Tables, Charts, and Calendars Inserting a calendar The Calendar Wizard helps you design month-at-a-glance calendars for use in your publication, with optional addition of personal events and public holidays. The calendar is created as a scalable text-based table so you can edit text using the standard text tools. The properties of a selected calendar are similar to those of a table, and can be modified identically (see Manipulating tables in PagePlus Help).
Pictures

Pictures 99 Adding picture frames Picture frames let you present your pictures in a decorative surround, much like you'd show off your favourite picture in a picture frame in your home. You can select from an impressive collection of professionally designed picture frames, and simply drag them onto your publication page before filling them with pictures.
100 Pictures 3. Navigate the themed sub-categories to locate a picture frame, then to include all the select an individual frame or click Add All frames from the sub-category. A check mark will appear on selected thumbnails. 4. Click Close. The frame(s) appears in the Assets tab (Picture Frames category). 5. Drag a chosen frame thumbnail to your page. Empty picture frames are shown as envelope-shaped placeholders on the page. To add a borderless picture frame: 1.
Pictures • 101 To set the size of the frame, drag out a region and release the mouse button. If needed, use the Shift key while dragging to maintain aspect ratio (to a square). Picture frames can also be applied to objects such as text frames and tables. These are considered to be borders, and can be manipulated further with respect to width, edge selection, and edge alignment. See Adding borders in PagePlus Help.
102 Pictures To store the picture frame for reuse globally or just in the publication, drag to the Assets tab's My Designs or Picture Frames category. For the latter, if you close the publication, you'll be asked if you want to save the frame to an asset pack. See Storing designs in PagePlus Help. Adding pictures The Assets tab (Pictures category) acts as a "basket" for initially gathering together and then including pictures in your publication.
Pictures 103 Adding pictures to the Assets tab To add pictures to the tab: 1. Select the Assets tab's Pictures category, and click Add. 2. From the dialog, navigate to a folder, and select your picture(s). 3. Click Open. Your pictures appear as thumbnails within the Assets tab's Picture category. To reorder pictures in the tab: • Select and drag a picture to a new position in the tab.
104 Pictures thumbnail indicates the number of times the picture has been used in the publication ( ). If you've positioned empty picture frames you can use AutoFlow to automatically populate them with pictures. AutoFlow—adding content automatically AutoFlow lets you flow the pictures present in the tab's Pictures category throughout empty picture frames spread throughout your publication (you can't reflow pictures once frames are populated with content).
Pictures 105 Adding pictures with resizing and embed/link control As well as dragging a picture thumbnail from the Assets tab, pictures can be added to PagePlus by copy and paste or dragging a file from an external Windows folder directly onto your page. PagePlus also lets you import pictures via Import Picture on the Tools toolbar. You'll be able to size the picture and embed or link it.
106 Pictures 4. 5. Repeat with other edge or corner handles, if needed. (Optional) From the context toolbar, set a Feather value to add a soft edge to your picture. To crop a picture (irregular crop) 1. Square Crop Tool selected, select the With the Crop Tool above your workspace. 2. The Curve context toolbar appears on its right, which lets you control the displayed nodes and connecting segments that define the object's crop outline. See Editing lines in PagePlus Help.
Pictures 107 If you add picture frames to your publication, you can position your placed picture using pan and zoom instead of using the Square Crop Tool. Cropping pictures to shapes The Crop to Shape command lets you create shaped pictures from drawn closed shapes (below) or silhouettes placed over your picture. The picture gets clipped to the outline of the shape, leaving a shape equivalent to the overlapping region. To crop a picture using shapes: 1.
108 Pictures Using Cutout Studio Cutout Studio offers a powerful integrated solution for cutting objects out from their backgrounds. Depending on the make up of your images you can separate subject of interests from their backgrounds, either by retaining the subject of interest (usually people, objects, etc.) or removing a simple uniform background (e.g., sky, studio backdrop). In both instances, the resulting "cutout" image creates an eye-catching look for your publication.
Pictures 109 Choose an output By default an alpha-edged bitmap is created by cutting out, but's possible to change the Output Type prior to selecting areas for keeping/discarding. The choice you make really depends on the picture. A vector-edged bitmap is better for cutting out pictures with well defined edges. Zoom into your image to examine its edges; this may influence the output type chosen.
110 Pictures 2. (Optional) Pick a Brush size suitable for the area to be worked on. 3. (Optional) Set a Grow Tolerance value to automatically expand the selected area under the cursor (by detecting colours similar to those within the current selection). The greater the value the more the selected area will grow. Uncheck the option to switch the feature off. 4. Using the circular cursor, click and drag across the area to be retained or discarded (depending on Keep or Discard Brush Tool selection).
Pictures 111 (A) Main toolbar, (B) Main workspace, (C) Filter stack, (D) Filter tabs, (E) Images tab To launch PhotoLab: 1. Select the picture that you want to apply a filter to. 2. Click PhotoLab on the Picture context toolbar. Applying a filter Filters are stored in PhotoLab's Favourites, Adjustments, and Effects tabs which group filters logically into categories (e.g., Quick Fix for fast and commonly used correction filters).
112 Pictures To preview, fine tune, and apply a filter: 1. Click a filter thumbnail. 2. As soon as a filter is selected it is temporarily added to Trial Zone which lets you experiment freely with your own settings for that filter. 3. Adjust sliders (or enter input values) until your filter suits your requirements. Some filters offer check boxes, drop-down lists, and additional controls (e.g., Advanced settings). Selecting a new filter always replaces the current filter.
Effects and Styles
114 Effects and Styles
Effects and Styles 115 Applying effects PagePlus provides a variety of effects that you can use to enhance any object. 2D effects such as drop shadows, feather, bevels, emboss are popular, along with 3D effects for more sophisticated textured surface effects. Both 2D and 3D effects can be applied individually (or in combination) using the Effects tab.

On the effect's title bar, click saved to the favourites gallery. Add Favourite. Your effect is 3D Effects 3D effects go beyond 2D effects (such as shadow, glow, bevel, and emboss effects) to create the impression of a textured surface on the object itself. You can use the Effects tab to apply one or more 3D effects to the same object.
Effects and Styles 119 5. Add further effects from the flyout depending on the type of effect you want. 6. Adjust settings for 3D effects by altering sliders, values, check boxes, or drop-down lists. Drag left or right over values to adjust. The 3D Effects & Lighting category hosts master control settings which are enabled when any 3D effect is applied. For a detailed description of each effect's settings, see PagePlus Help (Effects tab topic).
120 Effects and Styles For more creative shadows, the tool lets you apply skewed shadows, again directly on the page. Adjustment of shadow colour, opacity, blur, and scaling/distance is possible using controllable nodes directly on the page (or via a supporting Shadow context toolbar).
Effects and Styles 121 Once you've created a shadow, you can also fine-tune it as needed using the Effects tab. Using object styles The Styles tab contains multiple galleries of predesigned styles that you can apply to any object, or customize to suit your own taste! Galleries exist in effect categories including Blurs, 3D, Edge, Warps, Materials and more, with each category having further subcategories.
122 Effects and Styles To apply an object style to a selected object(s): 1. Display the Styles tab. 2. Expand the drop-down menu to select a named style category (e.g., Presets - Default), then pick a subcategory (e.g., Mixed) by scrolling the lower window. 3. Preview available styles as thumbnails (cog shapes are shown by default) in the window. 4. Click a style thumbnail to apply that style.
Colour, Fills, and Transparency
124 Colour, Fills, and Transparency
Colour, Fills, and Transparency 125 Applying solid fills PagePlus offers a number of ways to apply solid colour fills to objects of different kinds: • You can apply solid colours to an object's line or fill. As you might expect, QuickShapes and closed shapes have both line and fill properties, whereas straight and freehand lines have only a line property. • Characters in text objects can have a background fill, line, and text colour (i.e., for highlighting, text outlines, and the text fill itself).
126 Colour, Fills, and Transparency Using the Colours toolbar, you can reapply the last applied fill, line, or text colour and also predefine these colours for future objects. By default, the toolbar is always in view thus aiding design productivity. To apply the last applied solid colour: 1. Select the object(s) or highlight a range of text. On the Colours toolbar, select the Fill, Line, 2. or Text button.
Colour, Fills, and Transparency 127 To change the current palette: • Palette button to view and On the Swatches tab, click the adopt colours from a Standard RGB, Standard CMYK, or selection of themed palettes. Colours can be added, edited, or deleted from the Publication Palette but not from other palettes. Replacing colours In PagePlus, changing all instances of a regular colour in your publication is as easy as updating a scheme colour.
128 Colour, Fills, and Transparency 2. Right-click on the colour you want to replace and choose Replace Colour from the menu. 3. Choose the new colour using one of the many colour models, palettes, pickers, and scheme colours available in the Colour Selector dialog. 4. Click OK to apply the new colour in place of the old.
Colour, Fills, and Transparency 129 Each publication can have just one colour scheme at a time; the current scheme is highlighted in the Schemes tab. You can easily switch schemes, modify scheme colours and create custom schemes. Colour schemes are saved globally, so the full set of schemes is always available.
130 Colour, Fills, and Transparency appear in regions defined as Scheme Colour 1, its second colour will map to Scheme Colour 2, and so on throughout the publication. To select a colour scheme: 1. Click the Schemes tab. The currently assigned scheme is highlighted in the list. 2. Click a different colour scheme sample. Objects in the publication that have been assigned one of the colour scheme numbers are updated with the corresponding colour from the new scheme.
Colour, Fills, and Transparency 131 The palette displays only scheme colours. 2. Select the object and choose a Fill, Line, or Text button at the top of the Swatches tab depending on the desired effect. 3. Click on the scheme colour that you want to apply to the fill, line, or text. If an object's fill uses a scheme colour, the corresponding sample in Swatches tab will be highlighted whenever the object is selected.
132 Colour, Fills, and Transparency PagePlus also allows you to modify any existing colour scheme and create your own scheme from a colour spread. See PagePlus Help for more information. Gradient and bitmap fills Gradient fills provide a gradation or spectrum of colours spreading between two or more points on an object. A gradient fill has an editable path with handles that mark the origin of each of these key colours.
Colour, Fills, and Transparency 133 Applying a gradient or bitmap fill There are several ways to apply a gradient or bitmap fill: using the Swatches tab, the Fill Tool, or the Fill dialog. PagePlus can also produce automatic gradient fills based on applied solid colours—giving you an almost unlimited number of gradient fill choices. The easiest way to apply a gradient or bitmap fill is to use one of a range of pre-supplied swatch thumbnails in the Swatches tab's Gradient or Bitmap palettes.
134 Colour, Fills, and Transparency To apply a preset gradient or bitmap fill using the Swatches tab: 1. Display the Swatches tab and ensure either Fill, Line, or Text is selected (for an object's fill, outline, or text fill respectively). Note that the colour of the underline reflects the colour of your selected object. 2. For gradient fills, select a gradient category, e.g. Linear, Elliptical, etc., from the Gradient button's drop-down list.
Colour, Fills, and Transparency 135 3. Display the Swatches tab and ensure either Fill, Line, or Text is selected (for an object's fill, outline, or text fill respectively). The colour of the underline reflects the colour of your selected object. 4. Click and drag on the object to define the fill path. The object takes a simple Linear fill, grading from the object's current colour to monochrome white. If the object is white already (or has no fill), grading is from white to black.
136 Colour, Fills, and Transparency • From the Start Colour drop-down list, select a colour or click More Colours to display the Colour Selector dialog. You can also apply an End Colour in the same way. - or For Three or Four Colour only, select an object's fill handle and select a colour from the Fill Colour drop-down list.
Colour, Fills, and Transparency 137 To adjust the gradient fill path on a selected object: 1. Display the Swatches tab and ensure either Fill, Line, or Text is selected (for an object's fill, outline, or text fill respectively). Note that the colour of the underline reflects the colour of your selected object. 2. Click the Fill Tool on the Attributes toolbar. The fill path appears on the object's fill, outline, or text content. 3.
138 Colour, Fills, and Transparency Transparencies work rather like fills that use "disappearing ink" instead of colour. The more transparency in a particular spot, the more "disappearing" takes place there, and the more the object(s) underneath show through. Just as a gradient fill can vary from light to dark, a transparency can vary from more to less, i.e.
Colour, Fills, and Transparency • 139 Bitmap transparencies include categorized texture maps based on the Swatches tab's selection of bitmaps. Applying transparency You can apply transparency to shapes, text frames, table cells, and to any artistic, frame, and table text. To apply transparency with Transparency tab: 1. With your object selected, display the Transparency tab and ensure either Fill or Line is selected (for an object's fill or outline, respectively). 2.
140 Colour, Fills, and Transparency Transparency Tool on the Attributes toolbar. 2. Click the 3. Drag your cursor across the object and release the mouse button. The object takes a simple Linear transparency, grading from 100% opacity to 0% opacity (fully transparent). Editing transparency Once you've applied a gradient transparency, you can adjust or replace its path on the object, and the level of transparency along the path.
Colour, Fills, and Transparency 141 2. Click the Transparency Tool on the Attributes toolbar. The object's transparency path appears on the fill or line, with start and end handles. 3. To add a transparency handle, drag from any solid transparency sample in the Transparency tab to the point on the path where you want to add the handle. The higher the percentage value assigned to a transparency handle, the more transparent the effect at that point. 4.
142 Colour, Fills, and Transparency Yellow flower on page background The same flower with an Exclusion blend mode applied They are used for creative effects on overlapping objects, where colours blend on top of one another. Blend modes can be applied to both a top object's line and fill colour. You can adjust the blend mode of an existing object, or you can set the blend mode before creating a line, shape, etc.
