Adobe indesign cc 2018 shortcuts free

 

Now that kind of brings me up to one, I kind of said, between these two, like toggling between these two is a real big pain. It’s a hard shortcut to remember, but take your time, write it down, practice it the next week, and you’ll save a huge amount of time.

And it’s basically ‘Command-Option-7’ on a Mac. And you can see, just toggles between them, super useful. On a PC, it’s ‘Control-Alt-7’. On for whenever I’m on character, when I want to be on paragraph, whenever I want to be on paragraph, I’m on character.

It’s always backwards, so I select on here, ‘Command-Option-7’, and I can get my space after, I can play around with that.

And I want to go back to character, and I’ve got it up here. You might disagree with that one being a shortcut. I use it all the time, toggling between these two. Let’s go to the next one. So the next one is when you’re working on documents with Spreads.

We probably all know that ‘Command 0’ will kind of center it. So if you’re moving around, you get ‘Command 0’, just centers the page. Problem is you want to see the whole screen. So what you need to do is hold ‘Command-Option-0’.

So on a PC, it’s ‘Control-Option-0’. Just kind of centers the screen. The other thing you might have known, is if you use PgDn, for some reason it just kind of weirdly offsets. It never goes to the next page, it kind of does that, plus a little bit more.

So what you can do is, you can hold down ‘Option-PgDn’. And it will toggle to the centers of the next word, so good. Print out the shortcut sheet, write them down, practice them for a little while, if they still don’t stick, they were never meant to be, but I find that’s a really handy one. Let’s jump back into the document we had. Now, let’s say I want to bring in some text. I’m going to go down to my page that I’m making. This one here. So I want to bring in some text, so I’m going to go to ‘File’, ‘Place’.

And it’s some Word document, so I would like to have some– I want to show the Import option. But I want to turn this on.

We all know, if I turn this on, and then I click ‘Open’, I get the options, which is really cool, but then when I go to bring in my image next, I forget to turn it off and this thing appears, and I’m like “Ah, I’m going to turn it off. I never remember him. What if there was a way to turn it on temporarily? There is. All you need to do is, say, I want to bring in ‘Magazine Text’, hold ‘Shift’ while you click ‘Open’, it will give you import options but it only turns it on for that one single time.

So now you can go through and do it, and when you go back to ‘File’, ‘Place’, you can see, it’s still turned off. So just hold ‘Shift’ when you click on your file, click ‘Open’ to get some extra options. The next one is kind of a selection trick, so let’s go up to page 1.

It’s a bit of a, kind of a rigmarole bit of a thing. To get to the image, I need to drag him off, then select on him. So the trick is, with your Black Arrow selected, is hold down the ‘Command’ key on a Mac, or ‘Control’ key on a PC, click this top one, that gives you the gray box, click again, and I got the image. Hit ‘Delete’, that’s a way of selecting things underneath each other if there’s a pile of stuff on top.

So just keep holding the ‘Command’ key, if I click on him, hold ‘Command’ key, clicks the black box, then clicks the image and then eventually comes back to the beginning here. So it just cycles through all the different things to click on. A little side note that works in Photoshop as well, which is super handy, especially when you’ve got loads of layers everywhere.

Next trick is to do with Master pages. Now, on my Master page, on this one, I’ve got all of these guys, plus this. And it’s applied to all the pages, but let’s say I want to turn these off on just one of the pages. So let’s go down to the last page and let’s say I don’t need them on this page, but I can’t click on them, or can I? Just click on them, they get kind of ripped off the Master page, and I can say “Goodbye.
