Character Styles: Sub heads

So now I've got all of my copy float in. I've got all of my paragraph styles applied here, and I may run up against something in here that requires me to create a different style, but one that is the same as my other styles. Let me show you what I mean. Here, I got my copy float in here, and what I'd like to do here is I'm just going to kind of sure this happened. I would like to have some copy here in a container, and I'm just gonna copy this out right here. Coming to use This is a little sidebar. Take that in the drawing new container here. But in this case, I would like to go in and I want to have this reversed out. Maybe I'm doing a newsletter or something, and I want to have this copy reversed out. But I want to keep the headline and everything else exactly the same. The only thing is really gonna change here is the color of the type, so I could go in and create a whole new style and redo the whole thing. But what I'm gonna do here is I'm going to create a style with this, but I'm...

going to base it on an existing style. And the reason why is because I love my body copy just the way it is. But I'm going to use my body copy in a slightly different way. All the other attributes of my body cop. You're gonna be the same, except maybe the color. So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna select my copy right here, and I'm going to create a new paragraph style and this is going to be my body copy. But it is going to be, like, reversed out, so it's gonna be white now, this is the time that I would want to base it on an existing style. And here's the reason why Just like we're talking with colors, I have the parent color and I have all the daughter colors. If I change one, it changes everything. If I create a completely separate style that is based on nothing. And I changed my body copy and I forget that my call out on my sidebar here is exactly the same as my body copy. With the exception of say, the color, if I don't remember that and I changed one. I have to remember to go back and change the other, but because this is based on it, I changed one. It changes the other. So I'm going to go under my character color, and I'm going to change the color of this toe white. So now it's going to have all of the attributes of my body copy. But I'm going to change the color. So I do that and I click. Ok, and sure enough, there it is. And it all shows up in white because we're on a white background, We can do that. And now I can take my container and I can fill it with color. And now I've got all my copy in their justice. It stands. So this is my body copy. That's white. And this is my normal body. Copy here. If I were to change my body, copy a right click on my body copy and edit. This decided to make this a little bit smaller here and little bit more letting I do that and both of these change because this is based on this one. Now, here's a perfect example of why we would want to go in and have an object style. Okay, I have my sidebars. I'm gonna be using sidebars throughout my entire document. Do I draw my sidebar and then have to remember every single time to go into my object menu and create my text frame options and say, OK, keep the inset in this distance so that when I draw my container and it's gonna be reversed out that I get that and the answer is no. I'm gonna do it once, and I'm going to grab that as an object style so that every time I draw a container, I can Then just simply apply my objects style to it. Give me the in dent. Give me the black fill in there and my copies ready to flow in. So I'm gonna take this container here. Doesn't matter. That is the text container. Because I'm selecting with my selection tool, and I'm going Teoh, take my style and I do my object style here. And I'm going to say I want to make this a new object style. And this is going to be my sidebar black with inset. And I click on that now, if I want to do another reversed out item right here. I'm actually gonna just delete this and I'll draw a new text container right there. There's my text container. If I go in and I put copy in there, I can select my copy and do my reversed out copy. I can then select my container and say, Oh, make it the sidebar Black within set. It fills it with the color. Whatever stroke I put around it. Whatever objects Now I have my inset right around there and everything remains the same throughout my entire document. Because I have a container. A container is an object. So I set all that with my object style. The object is to fill that stroke the text and set the text. Rap has nothing to do with the type at all. The type is going to be a totally separate style. That's gonna be my paragraph style. But that's only gonna happen when I actually use my type tool and put it in there. But this is how I begin to you Go ahead and develop consistency across everything with my object style with my paragraph style and ultimately with my character styles as well. So now they begin to establish a really nice look and feel through this, I can see all this copy in here, everything is starting to look really good. But I'm also noticing a few other things that I'm not quite liking with the way the formats happening. And I'm running into a few issues here, does every once in a while what will get They will get these weird breaks where you can see that this headline will come and then break right here. It's like, No, no, no, you can't have that. You can't have widows or orphans or one line of a paragraph starting at the bottom or ending at the top and just have it be all by itself so we can control those settings. Yes, we can do the manually, but we're not gonna do them manually because the whole point of this is we need to make sure we set up styles. I also noticed that my headlines air being hyphenated. No could edit my have headline, no hyphenation on the headlines. There we go. And I'm going to set my subheds and my body copy to not fall apart. So not start in different locations in the document. I want everything Teoh be together. So my headline here, I don't want it to split or my subhead. So I'm gonna edit my subhead right here. And what I'm going to do is I'm going to get into my keep options and I keep options are going to tell me how this is going to flow through my document. It's going to keep lines together, and generally we do this on longer headlines, but especially on body copy. But in this case, I'm gonna do it on my subhead. Two, I've got a two line subhead and I definitely don't want to have to go through my entire document and manually hunt down these type of weird breaks. So with the keep options, I'm able to say, keep all the lines together in the paragraph. How do I want to do that? Well, I have the choice in this case because I'm gonna have a headline here. I want to make sure that I keep all the lines together in the paragraph. If I have a three or four line headline, I don't want to break two over on this column or two over in that column, or even worse, at the bottom of the page and then at the top of the next page. So in this case, I tell it, wherever I have my headline style applied, you're gonna keep all the lines together, no matter what, Even if their space to break it. It's not gonna happen. It's not gonna work. So I'm gonna click, OK? And now, no matter where my headline falls, it'll automatically keep everything together. Now I'm going to do the same thing with my body copy as well. And I'm going to specifically close up my body copy here so that I have just one line of copy right here all by itself. So there's my paragraph. I have one line of copy. I've got another line of copyright over here. I don't want to have to look for that. I want to be able to set it and forget it wasn't at a famous sign saying someplace, so I'm going to set my copy going to go to my body copy. I'm gonna right click on that. And again, I'm going to use my keep options and I keep options with this If I keep all the lines together in the paragraph, then I'm going to have big, huge spaces because it will not let me publish a paragraph unless all the lines were together. So in this case, it makes a little bit more sense to say Okay, if there's room for it to start with at least two lines and end with at least two lines and both of those parameters need to be met. If I have a three line paragraph, I can't have two on 11 on the other just because it satisfies one of the other. It has to start with and also end with at least two lines. When I do that and I click OK, no matter where in my paragraph these break, it will always conform to those standards. So if I Sure my copy up right here. And I do that. This is a line right here. I've got one line of copy here. I'm going to bring it up. I move it up just a little bit. Two lines break because it has to start with and and with at least two so even more clean up that I don't even have to pay attention to. I simply set it in there. And once it's done, it just makes the whole thing a whole lot easier. So I've already cleaned up my hyphenation. I've cleaned up my space is my inset tabs. We're going to get to tomorrow. But now I can go ahead and I can set up my copy so that is going to break appropriately. Headlines subheds. I've got my spacing after everything. This is amazing. All the stuff that I can apply right to this, I haven't even float in the rest of my copy here. But what I'm doing is I'm establishing all these parameters before you even get to the rest of my document. I'm not gonna put all my copy in and then fiddle and fuss with the whole thing. I'm gonna make this great. And then when I flow my copy in, it's going to go in no time flat because we'll have no time left because we have to get through all of this. So with these options and items that we have here, what we've showed you is only a portion of what you can include inside your paragraph styles. We're going to show you some more stuff and we're gonna break this out into a couple different portions here. We've got tabs tabs We can include here, but we're gonna have a lot to do with tabs. We're gonna show you that because that's going to segue way into tables. We showed you the paragraph rules that we could put below are paragraph styles or keep options on how we want to keep everything together in their paragraphs. The hyphenation which we generally shut off the justification here. Justifications. Really cool. I don't normally used force justified, but under justification. When I was showing you yesterday, when I one was manually tracking the lines and all the paragraph starts to reshuffle on rejigger here. This is where you can turn off the adobe paragraph composer and turn into a single line composer. So you have the control over it and design doesn't send out the dancing paperclip and try to help you there. We have it. Okay, so we have also done our character color as well. So we've covered a lot of these items here, all of which are part of the options in your paragraph styles. All comes together, but that's only part of it now. When I want to do is I want to show you a couple other things, and that's doing a bulleted or numbered list. And a bulleted or numbered list is quite handy because we run into this all the time. So I'm going Teoh, Call it my bulleted list right here. I'm gonna put it in right there, and there's my bulleted list, and I'd like to go ahead and create a style out of this. But I'm going. I really like my body copy. I just like to create my body copy with my bulleted list is, Well, if you want to create just a basic bulleted list, you know you have four or five items and you don't feel like you want to create a character style out of it. You don't have to one of the keyboard shortcuts here for creating a bulleted list. If you want a bullet is just simply option eight and you get a bullet. Okay, so that's one of the nice features. This, however, was set up, and I'm going to select all my copy and apply my body copy to it. This was set up so that I am going to go in and have body copy. I'm gonna have bullets in front of each one of these items. Now, if I had to go through here and I had to put an option A You know, our bullet in front of every single one here, This gets kind of tedious. And the whole point is is that I want to streamline this entire process, so you'll notice that I've applied my body copy and you notice that it's sitting away from the edge of my container. Do you know why? First line in debt to the first line. It puts it in there. So in this case, it's like I do like my body copy here, but I'm going to go in, and I'm going to apply some other attributes to get rid of the first line indent here. So I'm actually going to create a new paragraph style still based on my body copy, because I want the font in the size and look to be the same. But this is going to be my bulleted body copy, and I'm going to base it on the body copy right here. But the intense and spacing. I don't want the first line in Dent to be there. And with a preview on I can see exactly what's happening here and then click. OK, and then I can apply that to buy bulleted body copy. Great. I'm going to now apply a bullet. I can do the bulleted or numbered list here, and there is my bullets and numbering. Here we go. So I have to choose what type of list that I want. So I want a bulleted list or do I want a numbered list? And I have to choose the type right here. I'm gonna choose bullets right from here, and I choose my bullets and you can see it puts in the bullets there because of the paragraph formatting. Every time I hit my paragraph return, I get a bullet. But what happened here is all of a sudden, we've got, like, this knee jerk reaction in dent that, like in dense it six feet away from the bullet. And it's like, OK, come on, You know I want a bullet that I want to space, and I want my copy. I don't need a bullet in the Mississippi river and then the space. So what happens when you put in a bulleted list? Here is this And here's the key by default. And you've seen this in so many horrible presentations. What happens is I put in my bullet. There's my bullet character. The text after the bullet is actually a tab. I don't want a tab after my bullet. I just want a space. I want my bullet. I want my space And then I want my copy to start. So most people don't know that this is actually a tab here and get rid of that tab. And I'm going to use my little drop down menu here, and I'm just gonna put in a basic space. So an end spaces, like literally the width of an end. Or if you want a bit more, you can do the width of an M. And when I do that now, I liken end space. Better. Um, I can see that. Great. I get my bullet. I get my space. I don't have to remember about making the bullet. Nor do I have to remember about hitting that space bar in between because I've said it here Exactly. like I want it. And now that I've captured this is a style here. That's all great. It's a bulleted list, and I've got that right there. And I've got my space after every single one. And if I want to do that, I can click on apply click my bulleted body copy. There it is. Fantastic. Not a problem. Super easy to Dio If I wanted to make us a numbered list of Well, I could also go in and I could edit my bulleted body copy here, and I could change it to a numbered list as well. And then it becomes a numbered list. And again, I'd have to go ahead and make sure that I don't have this horrific space in between there. But either way, the bulleted and numbered list is both under the same portions off the paragraph styles. When we're formatting this if we're formatting this manually before we turn into a style in our paragraph formatting right here in the center of our grid. Right here is our bulleted list in are numbered list. And to call up those options, you either option click right there or you go to the cheese grater at the end of your control bar, and you can call up your justification hyphenation. Paragraph rules both the numbering right from there. Generally I do it right, my paragraph styles, because I can edit it. I can see right on screen what's happening. So there's my ability to do bulleted list again. This bulleted list is based on my body copy. So if I edit my body copy and I change any attributes in there, so I say I make my copy Black. My bulleted body copy will then keep all those other attributes that I've applied to it separately. But it's also going to do what the family does. So there I have it now, got a couple other issues. This is fine. If my bulleted list is all single line items because I got the bullet, everything is great. But what happens if I have a bulleted list like this and I do that and it puts the bullet right there and I want to then line up all of my copy right here, right where my cursor goes, and it's like I got this bulleted list. But, you know, I don't really see the bullet because nothing's indented past there. So of course you put your cursor here. You know your space bar, and you're just like, Oh, that doesn't work. And so it's like, Oh, I could do soft returns here and then do space bar in every single one. No, not at all. So what we're going to do here is we're gonna get really jiggy with this whole thing. This is cool. I'm gonna go back to my bulleted copy. It doesn't mess with any single line bullets that I dio, but it makes everything super tasty. Sweet. Here's how you do it under the bullets and numbering here. What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna position my bullets and all of my copy using my position section right here. This is kind of interesting to understand. All my copy is aligned left to my margin or my column right there. What I'm going to dio is I'm actually gonna go in, and I'm going to begin to in Dent my entire copy and actually turn on my rulers here, and I'm gonna put a guide right here. And this is really gonna help you understand. What? I put a guide right? there because that's where I want everything lined up. And this will help a little bit better to understand how this works. So now, under my number positioning here is I know I want everything to line up under there, but I want my bullet to stay the same way. We're gonna reverse engineer this. I'm going to bring the left in Dent in so that all the copied lines up where I wanted to be, and then I'm gonna take my first line and I'm going to out Dent it. Well, no, it in denting, is it? Just keep pushing it further in, right? But if I go in and I out dent it the exact same measurement, But the opposite direction that's going to give me my hanging, Chad and everything else falls in underneath. Okay, I know people gonna be like, What was that? So this is how it works. So you go in and you do your bullets and numbering, and with that, you're going to in Dent the entire section to where you want everything to fall in. And then you're going to out debt that first line so that the first line goes all the way back the same distance. Now, when I do a bulleted list, I will get hanging bullets and everything will fall in underneath it and to show you how that works. If I hit return. Sure enough, it works every single time. Shut off my guides right there. It's a big difference now. Everything looks great. Everything falls in just where it's supposed to be. I've got my bulleted list, and I don't have to sit there and digger with everything right there. And it's all captured in my paragraph style. Fantastic. It's awesome. Looks pretty cool. So bulleted lists numbered list can do the same thing as well numbered lists. Or even more tricky because you have 123456789 and then 10 bumps it out. Then you get to 100 you keep having to adjust the space. This you can set it exactly where you want to. Now you consent. This is a paragraph style. I'm gonna show you how you can do this manually. You may have one paragraph in here that you just want to put a bullet in. I don't want to go through this whole rigmarole of going in and creating a paragraph style, which, as you find it's pretty easy to dio. But I'm gonna do this manually here because all I want is I just want this one paragraph here to just have a bullet, and that's it for a couple of paragraphs. So what I'm gonna do here is I'm going to go in and I'm going to pretend that there's no style applied to this. And that was the first line indent. What am I doing? Here we go. The first line indent is here. Okay? I just want a bullet. I know I can do a bullet manually by just using option eight. If I do option eight. There we go. And I'm just gonna have this paragraph so everything hangs in. I could go through my bulleted number not gonna do it. This is the easy shortcut. This is the manual way. I can't capture what I'm doing right here and put into a paragraph. Style causes the manual way, but it'll look exactly the same. But this I would have to do every single time. That's why I like the paragraph, style way. Do it manually. Here this is what you dio gonna put your cursor right where you want everything to fall into. That's where you want everything in your paragraph to fall into you. Put your cursor right there and then you're going to use command slash or back slash and is gonna be your indented here. If you can't remember that on your tight menu, you do your insert special character. And that's the other character. And that right there is called the in debt to here. Where here, You're cursors here, you indented here, you put your cursor where you want everything to fall into. It will indented Here again, This is the manual method. So if I want this in every paragraph, I would have to do this manually on every paragraph. It's fine if you're doing a couple, but I encourage you to use a paragraph style if you're gonna be doing it multiple times. The hidden character for this is this little dagger right here. OK, that's the indented here, And people are like, Oh my gosh, that's crazy. Yes. If I put in the middle of my paragraph when I do my intent to hear all the rest of the lines in the paragraph will fall in under that point. Yes, it will. It always happens. What happens if I go ahead and I hit return? It starts a new paragraph before meeting starts all over. And that indented here no longer applies plain and simple. Okay, wonderful. Can you show how to delete that? Invent that force in Dennis because it's kind of you have to really so painful, right? Here's how it works. OK, so here's my bullet. There's my space. And then this is my I just highlighted it. You see how, uh, right, Because it's so teeny, it doesn't do anything cause it doesn't actually give us any space or anything. So here's what you dio You put your cursor on your next letter and just use your arrow. You know, you left and right arrow and then just put it there and just hit Delete. Oh, that's good track. Don't try to highlight. You know what I'm talking about, right? Exactly. From Boston, because I can highlight a space or something, cause I can actually see it, But because that is not actually creating a space, you're not actually get a highlight. People for us to get so frustrated. No, no. Just put your cursor. They're just simply hit. Delete. No selecting it. Really? Yeah. Move it over. Delete. Thank you. Yeah, exactly. So that's always fun to see people do that. Yes. It's a great way. If you want to do something really quick, you do it manually here. And I remember years ago when people would do that there, just like, how is this set up? You know, it's like every time I hit return, it goes away because it's a manual indented. Here, you put your cursor where you want everything and where you want it. Everything falls in right to hear hits your return. New paragraph no longer applies. And I'll throw out another question, Nick. See, in the chat rooms. I'm a question in copy. Wait, A cop. Are we gonna covering? Copy. That's more of an advanced technique. Correct? Yes. Well, we won't cover and copy. It's it's kind of part of in design, but it's also a separate entity as well. More for higher end editing and stuff like, Yeah, Thank you. If we did that, we'd have to spend five days on because they have to cover everything else. Okay, so now we go on in, we've done our bulleted and numbered list. We can capture these things a styles. We can see everything. We can capture a styles. Now we have all these styles in here. Everything's ready to go. And we want Teoh. Then flow in some or copy and apply everything to it. Simple. So if I were to go, we end and I were to get some more copy and I do have some or copy in here. I'm just going to delete this all. Got it? Of course I can flow Copy in. I can select everything. I can apply that I can go and hover over all that. Get my bulleted list. It's like Oh my gosh, how easy is that? It's like, Wow, this is just absolutely crazy. And that's how fast I can go through and do everything just like that. So if I've got this and I want to import my styles into another document, yeah, I can do this just like Ideo, with all my other styles by colors, everything else. So when I create a new document, there are no styles in there other than just my basic paragraph style. I want to import these styles in Aiken do that from any existing file and they just go into my paragraph styles. I'm going to choose load my paragraph styles and I can navigate to where my file is with all those styles in it. When I click, OK, and then it says, Okay, which ones do you want to bring in? And it's like, Oh, you know, I need my subhead. I don't need my normal on my basic paragraph style. I don't need anything brought in from other documents right there. That's all of the stuff that I need right there. There's my style's now when I go and I put some copy in here, So if I pay some copy in or whatever it is, I can take all this and I can say, OK, make it this. Make it this. Make it the headline. Whatever. And I can do all of that. And all my copies formatted beautifully, and I don't even really know or remember all the settings that I did to it didn't even have to worry about it. Okay, we got some more formatting fun as well flowing everything in applying paragraph styles and being able to set it up so that things flow the way we want him. Teoh, they look the way we want them to. That's all great. But now we have to also work with where the copy falls inside our columns, where it falls inside our documents. And then tomorrow we're gonna get to multiple pages. So I've got something here where I've got my story starts here, and this all goes along. And then I got my steps right here, and it's like, Oh, you know what? I really would like those broken to the next available column. I'm not going to go in here and hit return, return, return, return, return, return, return. Because what happens with that is if I close up my container, those returns then get forced into the next column, and the spacing is relative and not absolute. I want to make sure that when I break this to the next column, it's broken to the next column, and it's not coming home until I tell it to plain and simple. So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna introduce you to some of the break characters and these break characters allow us to change where the copy starts and starts and stops within the text container or another text container or even another page. And this is where the enter and the return key have a clear difference. So I've got my copy in here, and here's all my steps right here, and I'm gonna put my cursor in the copy right here. I want all my steps to now appear in the next available column. Somebody hit my enter key, and my enter key is going to be on my keypad. My number pad on the right hand side. It's not my return. Keep when I do that and I break it, it's going to break it to the next available column. The character that you're going to see here is this little teeny V right there, nice and teeny. Okay, Yeah, exactly. Even blown up 6000 times the size is kind of hard to see. That is a column break and under the tight menu. Here we have several different break characters. We have a column break. We have a frame break, a page break, and so on. A column break is enter. I don't know why it's not showing up here, but we have a frame break, which is shift. Enter a page break, which is command enter and so on so I can break that to the next available column. And no matter how big I make my container here, it will always stay in that column. It will never re flow into the next available column. Now I'm gonna take this as well, and I decide that I may have another linked container here that I may want this to go into. So So I've got two columns here and now I've got my content and this extra containers here, and I want Teoh flow this to say another container. I have my way of putting in my page breaks there when I hit my in Turkey is going to go to the next available column. So if I have a large container, here it goes the next available column. But it's like, you know, I wanted to break it to my next container. So if I go in and I hit my shift and by shifters, a commander can't remember, command enter is going to go ahead and it's going to break it to the next available frame. It's a shift. Enter Got my extra returning there. Here we go. So shift Enter will break it to the next available frame. Scott. The column space. But it breaks it here. I could also have it so that it breaks the next page no matter what. So if I'm working on a page and I do not want this on this page, it all I can break it to the next page by going and inserting my break character and saying, You know what? Go and do this as a page break and break it to the next page. I could also do it to the next odd page or even Page doing a magazine. I have my story. On the right hand side, I start a new document. Their new page. The image is full page image on the left hand page, so I got all my link text containers. I want to break it from the right page to the next available right page order even Page. I can do that as well, so it's not just a matter of hitting return to make things happen. It's going in and actually putting in our break characters. And right here that particular break character says, Break to the next available frame. Not to the next column cause I have two columns here. I literally wanted to say to the next frame completely or to the next page. This is going to be the next page Command Enter is going to be the next page. And that way, if I do that, I'm not gonna be able to see anything right here. Until, of course, if I go in and I put in another page right here and I move this to the next page, that's not going to show up. And I'm going to do this. So that goes to the next page. Take my container, put on the next page and then it shows up because I said, Break it to the next page won't show off. It's on the same page, but you go to the next page. It shows up. So no more return space bar, extra tabs. Everything else that's completely out of the out of the question. Can't do it anymore. Done. Finished their way. Okay, if you're using a laptop, how do you get your enter key. OK, buy a bigger laptop. That's what your function key is for. So if you hit function and then you hit your return T, that's the enter key. If you've ever wondered what the function T was for, that's what it's for. I know the questions. You get answered when you take classes like this wireless keyboard to certainly. Yep, But that's what the function key is for because I want to make very clear the difference between the return key carriage return on your actual type keyboard and then your enter key for your actual data numbers. Things like that to totally different things get you completely different types of paragraph returns or page, column or frame breaks. Very important to understand. Very important to know. In some cases, when you import certain type of text documents there and all the page breaks your preserved, it will come in and you will actually see the little hidden characters here being this little V right there and then you're like, Why can't I see all of this? And sometimes I can get rid of it. Sometimes I can't gotta have your hidden characters turned on and you have to understand what those hidden characters are and why the copy is not flowing or breaking the way you want it, Teoh. So that's why the hidden characters air so incredibly important. If I were to have ah copy and pasted the bulk of my text from another program, Um, let's say probably the popular one. Um, how much cleanup do you think I'm gonna have to dio? Generally speaking, it all depends on we're gonna go through that tomorrow because you have no idea who's doing it if you're doing it, I would assume because you're taking this in design class that you know enough to be dangerous. But you also know enough to be taken in design class. So you're probably going to try a little bit harder to clean up the document and not try to design that document before you take it into in design. But we're gonna bring in some copy here, and we're actually going to show you how bad it can be. But we're also going to show you how awesome it can be if you have a copywriter or an editor that knows styles on that side that we can then match this styles in in design, so it will auto format when you bring it in. Whoa! Oh, yeah. Nice. Uh, so just a note, Teoh silky in the chat rooms. Who was asking that? Same question. Talking about a word processor beginning with M s. So you will be Will be covering that tomorrow. And just a couple more questions. You from taking a couple? Okay. A little confusion with folks. Since this is a very rudimentary beginner class, this is confusing. Well, so from sone rise wanting to know do you have to have a numeric keyboard for in design? No, you don't. Because you're gonna have You're gonna have the ability to use your function key in order to do that anyway. OK, so if you don't have an extended keyboard there, there's a way to get it now, also to if you don't have an under Kira function key right there. That's why under the tight menu, you literally have your break characters to insert right there. Perfect. You have no keyboard. Well, no matter what you do in on a question from one of our regulars Curio CEO, is there a way to tell in design to remove the indentation on the first paragraph in body text automatically using only one paragraph style. So if you want just the 1st 1 remove, you're gonna have to create a separate style for that. Because there is no there is no exception rules in that particular case s Oh, in that case, I would form at all my body copy and then create a new intro body copy that is gonna be based on my body copy. Just to take that off. Or you know what? You could just cheat. You go him to your 1st 1 here and just simply take it off either way when you do that, unfortunately, that that leaves you at risk that if you forget to do that But then if you forget to apply your initial paragraph style to it, you run the same risk. Right? So, six of 1/2 dozen the other. So Yep. What? You happy? And what's the quick key command for hidden characters? Hidden characters is gonna be option command. I thank you one other thing because Jim, you had mentioned Oh, you know, could be do you feet as leaders in our tabs here One of the things I want to show you here is that people may not want bullets. You may be working for some airplane company that wants airplanes instead of bullets or toasters were fried chicken pieces. Who knows? So what? I'm doing my bullet list right here, and I get my numbers and number. It's my numbers and bullet er's. You can see that I can use any of these items is a bullet character. And it's the standard bullet, every asterisk of the diamond of the clover or the blue hearts, the green moon to the yellow stars. But I can go and I can add any type of bullet character here when I click the add button. Oh, look, my little glitch pallet comes up. So like we showed you yesterday with tight. If I'm searching for a particular character in there and I would like that to become my bullet character, I don't have to stick with a boring round. It'll dot there, I could go in, and I could select a certain font here, like starting with you know, this and then I could say OK, you know, I want that and it's like, Oh, What would I like? Well, I think I need a little Sha Zam. How about a little chili pepper? I can add that click. OK, and now my chili pepper is added a click. OK, and now we got 10 hot steps. Yeah, let me know if this is too off topic. But if I wanted my own custom graphic on an element of my logo to be one of the bullet points, would I be able Teoh import that in somehow and make that part of it is well, well, in this particular case because of the paragraph style, you would need to turn it into a thought which is actually fairly easy to dio If you didn't turn it into a font and say I had my run over here and I want my little this to be, you know, my little element. I could copy this from illustrator in here or it could bring in a image as well. And what I could do is then I could take it a little bit around About way is I could pace it in here and then I could make it really, really, really small. So it's like, OK, That's what I wanted to be. Oh, my goodness, gracious. That's what happens when you don't go in. And okay, so now I've got my little graphic right there. If I wanted to paste this end to something or do a little image as well and I'll do both right here, we'll just grab a little picture and selling my old sewing desk. And I just want this little item right there. I can paste this in as what's called an in line graphic. Okay, so if I wanted all of my paragraphs to start with my little picture, but it'll stay crispy there. I could copy this in and using my type tool. I could then go in and I could put my type tool right there, and I could hit paste. And when I pasted in, it should just go right into my choose my little picture. Here, take that copy that hit paste. There we go. And I copied it with my selection tool that I went in. I hit paste with my type tool, and now its they're kind of pasted. It is called an in line graphic, and it's pasted in there, and it kind of sits there. It may throw the leading off and stuff like that, and you have to go in with your selection tool to edit it faults in there. This is called an anchored object. We do this for e pubs and stuff like that so that it, when it re flows, causes very basic type of coating that we use for just a basic e reader. We do this so that our images are anchored with our type, So when the type re flows, we kind of know where the stuff is. So when I do that, if I did want to have my little logo, I could bring it in and I could copy it and take my type tool and simply hit paste in there. And then it joins in its not type, but it's sure a graphic type element to do a bulleted list or something like that with this and actually make it a paragraph style, you would need to actually turn into a font so that you could then go ahead and specify that font as your bullet character and then put it in there to make it work. Doing this copy and paste here. I do that every once in a while if I'm going to do, like a simple check box during, like, three or four of them. But if I did want to do something like this and do a check box with Thies, say you're going to do a list of things I could go in with my bullets and numbering here and I could go to something that's going to be basic box, See? So I want let me just dio wing dings here. And I just want a basic check box, something that's gonna be nice and simple, you know, who knows where it's nice and simple. OK, I'm just going to use this arrow. I'm gonna add that in there, and when I do that, that's gonna be my check box right there. So this is a square that I could have a little check boxes in there instead of having to draw the line and move and everything else there. I could do that very easily, and I can easily get a check box in one of my wing dings or Web dings right there.
