00:00:06,500 --> 00:00:11,760
Hi there. In this video we're going to look at bringing in type from word or an e-mail,

2
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,910
or look at typing it in yourself in InDesign.

3
00:00:14,910 --> 00:00:18,380
We're just going to put in a little bit of text here for our little flier.

4
00:00:18,375 --> 00:00:21,065
You're ready? Let's go and do it.

5
00:00:21,060 --> 00:00:24,420
To add text by yourself grab the type tool,

6
00:00:24,420 --> 00:00:26,550
it's capital T here and all you need to do is click,

7
00:00:26,550 --> 00:00:28,530
hold and drag out a box.

8
00:00:28,530 --> 00:00:29,970
Now, like we do with the images,

9
00:00:29,970 --> 00:00:33,560
if I start kind of dragging over the top of boxes that I've already made,

10
00:00:33,555 --> 00:00:35,255
some weird staff starts happenings.

11
00:00:35,250 --> 00:00:38,220
If I click in here, you can see it's kind of fused

12
00:00:38,215 --> 00:00:42,365
this box with that box and it's kind of a bit weirds,

13
00:00:42,365 --> 00:00:44,185
it's weird InDesign quick anyway.

14
00:00:44,180 --> 00:00:46,480
So what I'm going to do is have nothing selected.

15
00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:47,570
So click on the background,

16
00:00:47,570 --> 00:00:49,700
grab my type tool and what I'm going to do is

17
00:00:49,700 --> 00:00:52,210
click hold and drag a box over here on the side.

18
00:00:52,205 --> 00:00:53,365
Okay, if you need more room,

19
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:54,590
seize little sliders okay,

20
00:00:54,590 --> 00:00:59,500
we can just move across down the bottom here and we can start typing.

21
00:00:59,495 --> 00:01:03,715
You know, if you can spell helps, okay,

22
00:01:03,710 --> 00:01:05,390
but if I start typing over here,

23
00:01:05,390 --> 00:01:07,370
obviously I can put anything I like.

24
00:01:07,370 --> 00:01:11,710
I can grab my black arrow to resize the box to the size that needs to be.

25
00:01:11,705 --> 00:01:14,215
What I'm going to do is import some texts.

26
00:01:14,210 --> 00:01:15,680
I'm going to use this text box.

27
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,320
Okay, I'm going to use my black arrow and just move it over here.

28
00:01:18,320 --> 00:01:21,710
What I'm going to do is select on this type with my type tool,

29
00:01:21,710 --> 00:01:23,980
okay, which is the capital t. Just delete it all.

30
00:01:23,975 --> 00:01:25,615
I'm going to import some texts.

31
00:01:25,610 --> 00:01:29,690
There's two ways of doing it. You could do just caveman style with works perfectly.,

32
00:01:29,690 --> 00:01:31,950
I'm going to jump to Word,

33
00:01:31,945 --> 00:01:34,185
actually let's open the Word document.

34
00:01:34,185 --> 00:01:36,125
So it's part of your exercise files.

35
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,360
Finds your exercise files.

36
00:01:38,355 --> 00:01:39,775
Here is mine on my desktop,

37
00:01:39,770 --> 00:01:41,740
I've downloaded it under 01 Flier.

38
00:01:41,735 --> 00:01:43,435
There's one in equal flier text.

39
00:01:43,430 --> 00:01:44,540
I'm going to double-click and open it.

40
00:01:44,540 --> 00:01:50,320
I'm going to copy all this texts so select that it'll go to edit, copy.

41
00:01:50,315 --> 00:01:52,015
If you're on a PC, it's slightly different.

42
00:01:52,010 --> 00:01:56,270
Is a copy button in the corner or Control C. So whatever you do.

43
00:01:56,270 --> 00:01:57,770
Select it, copy it,

44
00:01:57,770 --> 00:02:00,120
and jump back into InDesign,

45
00:02:00,260 --> 00:02:03,000
and in here I'm going to paste it.

46
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,700
Okay, you can totally do it that way.

47
00:02:05,700 --> 00:02:10,250
Often that's what I do. You might be copying from an e-mail or from anything.

48
00:02:10,245 --> 00:02:13,165
What you can do though, to be a bit more official and to get

49
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,800
a few more options in that copy is I'm going to delete it all,

50
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,560
have my cursor flashing in hand and I'm going to go to File,

51
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,540
I'm going to go to Place,

52
00:02:20,540 --> 00:02:22,730
and I've got some text.

53
00:02:22,730 --> 00:02:24,710
I found my 01 Flier,

54
00:02:24,710 --> 00:02:27,810
there is the flier takes so just kind of goes round using Word.

55
00:02:27,810 --> 00:02:30,150
So open and you can see it's dumped it in there.

56
00:02:30,150 --> 00:02:33,770
Now the difference between the two is very little and what we're doing,

57
00:02:33,770 --> 00:02:37,010
but what you can do and what we'll do later on in more,

58
00:02:37,010 --> 00:02:40,310
more advanced sections is if we go to File and we got a place,

59
00:02:40,310 --> 00:02:43,860
there is option here that says options and it says show input options.

60
00:02:43,860 --> 00:02:45,800
It means when I bring in my Word document,

61
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,730
I get to keep some of the styles that might be in there.

62
00:02:48,725 --> 00:02:51,025
Maybe there is a table that contains that sort of stuff.

63
00:02:51,020 --> 00:02:53,510
I'm going to turn that off and hide that for the moment.

64
00:02:53,510 --> 00:02:57,350
But it doesn't really matter how you bring in text as long as we've got some text.

65
00:02:57,350 --> 00:02:59,930
Now on my black arrow, I'm going to drag this box,

66
00:02:59,930 --> 00:03:02,690
and I'm going to make the box so it's kind of fits in here

67
00:03:02,690 --> 00:03:06,200
appropriately within my margins,

68
00:03:06,195 --> 00:03:07,875
kind of under the logo here.

69
00:03:07,870 --> 00:03:11,380
What I want to do is I'm going to use my type tool.

70
00:03:11,375 --> 00:03:13,855
Now you notice I don't jump to the type tool just kind of

71
00:03:13,850 --> 00:03:17,120
double-click inside the box and it automatically jumps to the type tool.

72
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,970
That's kind of up to you. So I'm going to select title

73
00:03:19,970 --> 00:03:23,480
and I'm going to do some basic type stuff now.

74
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,780
Okay. So if you are happy with formatting type, you might want to skip along.

75
00:03:26,780 --> 00:03:28,510
We're going to do some of the basics.

76
00:03:28,505 --> 00:03:30,025
We're going to pick a font,

77
00:03:30,020 --> 00:03:32,520
was going to pick Arial because I know everyone's got Arial,

78
00:03:32,515 --> 00:03:37,325
it can be a Spell Arial or use Arial Bold for bits of it.

79
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:38,810
I'm going to select all again,

80
00:03:38,805 --> 00:03:41,785
and along the top you've got these two options.

81
00:03:41,780 --> 00:03:45,230
Okay. Now, you might be happy with bold and sizes and stuff,

82
00:03:45,230 --> 00:03:47,390
but you'll notice that these two here have

83
00:03:47,390 --> 00:03:49,840
very different kind of see things and we need a lot of them.

84
00:03:49,835 --> 00:03:54,715
So I can see among its character and paragraph is the actual names of these.

85
00:03:54,710 --> 00:03:57,310
So character has my basic character stuff.

86
00:03:57,310 --> 00:03:59,540
You can see all the way down here there's some paragraphs,

87
00:03:59,540 --> 00:04:02,460
so that's only because my screen is very large.

88
00:04:02,460 --> 00:04:04,270
If you've got a smaller laptop,

89
00:04:04,265 --> 00:04:05,935
you might not be able to see any of these.

90
00:04:05,930 --> 00:04:09,040
You're going to have to jump to paragraph and you can see there.

91
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,470
So you might have to toggle between these two.

92
00:04:11,465 --> 00:04:14,885
So I want to go to the one that says aligns center,

93
00:04:14,885 --> 00:04:19,675
I'm going to highlight this topic and I'm going to make it my colors over here.

94
00:04:19,670 --> 00:04:21,770
I'm going to select the,

95
00:04:21,770 --> 00:04:23,210
I'm not going to use dark green at all.

96
00:04:23,205 --> 00:04:24,545
I'm actually just going use white.

97
00:04:24,540 --> 00:04:26,360
So which is piper over here.

98
00:04:26,355 --> 00:04:27,875
Okay, select the text Peter piper,

99
00:04:27,870 --> 00:04:29,710
I'm going to go back to character.

100
00:04:29,705 --> 00:04:32,285
I'm going to make it all caps.

101
00:04:32,285 --> 00:04:34,015
So I'm going to capitalize it all.

102
00:04:34,015 --> 00:04:35,455
In terms of the font size,

103
00:04:35,455 --> 00:04:36,685
I'm going to pick a font size.

104
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,270
What font size? I don't know.

105
00:04:38,270 --> 00:04:40,510
I'm going to go to about there.

106
00:04:40,505 --> 00:04:42,805
Okay. So 22.0.

107
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,570
Go back to my black arrow, clicking the background.

108
00:04:45,565 --> 00:04:49,305
It's maybe a little bit close to this black arrow come down a little bit.

109
00:04:49,300 --> 00:04:54,500
Kind of things we want to do is I'm going to select this make it a little bigger.

110
00:04:55,190 --> 00:04:58,680
I'm going to use my green.

111
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:00,570
I'm going to use the mid green.

112
00:05:00,570 --> 00:05:02,130
This last kind of URL here,

113
00:05:02,130 --> 00:05:07,090
I'm going to select it all make the same size when you use the dark green.

114
00:05:07,085 --> 00:05:12,605
Black arrow, click out and that my friends is the basics of importing ticks.

115
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,100
You can either just draw text box copy and paste that into it,

116
00:05:15,095 --> 00:05:17,765
or you can go to File Place up to you.

117
00:05:17,765 --> 00:05:21,885
We're not going to go through everything like this font selected here.

118
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,460
I'm not going to go through what does subscript

119
00:05:25,460 --> 00:05:29,410
and tracking will look at some of the more advanced ones a little bit later on,

120
00:05:29,410 --> 00:05:32,480
but there are the basics in here and everyone knows what banner,

121
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,870
right aligners and left aligners, I hope.

122
00:05:34,870 --> 00:05:36,860
If you're not sure on some of them experiment,

123
00:05:36,859 --> 00:05:39,649
we will go through more and more as we get through this course.

124
00:05:39,650 --> 00:05:41,630
But for the moment now we've got our font,

125
00:05:41,630 --> 00:05:43,550
we've got are text in, we've got some images.

126
00:05:43,550 --> 00:05:46,590
Let's get on to our next video.
