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,

00:00:11.760 --> 00:00:14.910
or look at typing it in yourself in InDesign.

00:00:14.910 --> 00:00:18.375
We're just going to put in a little bit of text here for our little flier.

00:00:18.375 --> 00:00:21.060
You're ready? Let's go and do it.

00:00:21.060 --> 00:00:24.420
To add text by yourself grab the type tool,

00:00:24.420 --> 00:00:26.550
it's capital T here and all you need to do is click,

00:00:26.550 --> 00:00:28.530
hold and drag out a box.

00:00:28.530 --> 00:00:29.970
Now, like we do with the images,

00:00:29.970 --> 00:00:33.555
if I start kind of dragging over the top of boxes that I've already made,

00:00:33.555 --> 00:00:35.250
some weird staff starts happenings.

00:00:35.250 --> 00:00:38.215
If I click in here, you can see it's kind of fused

00:00:38.215 --> 00:00:42.365
this box with that box and it's kind of a bit weirds,

00:00:42.365 --> 00:00:44.180
it's weird InDesign quick anyway.

00:00:44.180 --> 00:00:46.480
So what I'm going to do is have nothing selected.

00:00:46.480 --> 00:00:47.570
So click on the background,

00:00:47.570 --> 00:00:49.700
grab my type tool and what I'm going to do is

00:00:49.700 --> 00:00:52.205
click hold and drag a box over here on the side.

00:00:52.205 --> 00:00:53.360
Okay, if you need more room,

00:00:53.360 --> 00:00:54.590
seize little sliders okay,

00:00:54.590 --> 00:00:59.495
we can just move across down the bottom here and we can start typing.

00:00:59.495 --> 00:01:03.710
You know, if you can spell helps, okay,

00:01:03.710 --> 00:01:05.390
but if I start typing over here,

00:01:05.390 --> 00:01:07.370
obviously I can put anything I like.

00:01:07.370 --> 00:01:11.705
I can grab my black arrow to resize the box to the size that needs to be.

00:01:11.705 --> 00:01:14.210
What I'm going to do is import some texts.

00:01:14.210 --> 00:01:15.680
I'm going to use this text box.

00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:18.320
Okay, I'm going to use my black arrow and just move it over here.

00:01:18.320 --> 00:01:21.710
What I'm going to do is select on this type with my type tool,

00:01:21.710 --> 00:01:23.975
okay, which is the capital t. Just delete it all.

00:01:23.975 --> 00:01:25.610
I'm going to import some texts.

00:01:25.610 --> 00:01:29.690
There's two ways of doing it. You could do just caveman style with works perfectly.,

00:01:29.690 --> 00:01:31.945
I'm going to jump to Word,

00:01:31.945 --> 00:01:34.185
actually let's open the Word document.

00:01:34.185 --> 00:01:36.120
So it's part of your exercise files.

00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:38.355
Finds your exercise files.

00:01:38.355 --> 00:01:39.770
Here is mine on my desktop,

00:01:39.770 --> 00:01:41.735
I've downloaded it under 01 Flier.

00:01:41.735 --> 00:01:43.430
There's one in equal flier text.

00:01:43.430 --> 00:01:44.540
I'm going to double-click and open it.

00:01:44.540 --> 00:01:50.315
I'm going to copy all this texts so select that it'll go to edit, copy.

00:01:50.315 --> 00:01:52.010
If you're on a PC, it's slightly different.

00:01:52.010 --> 00:01:56.270
Is a copy button in the corner or Control C. So whatever you do.

00:01:56.270 --> 00:01:57.770
Select it, copy it,

00:01:57.770 --> 00:02:00.120
and jump back into InDesign,

00:02:00.260 --> 00:02:03.000
and in here I'm going to paste it.

00:02:03.000 --> 00:02:05.700
Okay, you can totally do it that way.

00:02:05.700 --> 00:02:10.245
Often that's what I do. You might be copying from an e-mail or from anything.

00:02:10.245 --> 00:02:13.160
What you can do though, to be a bit more official and to get

00:02:13.160 --> 00:02:15.800
a few more options in that copy is I'm going to delete it all,

00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:18.560
have my cursor flashing in hand and I'm going to go to File,

00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:20.540
I'm going to go to Place,

00:02:20.540 --> 00:02:22.730
and I've got some text.

00:02:22.730 --> 00:02:24.710
I found my 01 Flier,

00:02:24.710 --> 00:02:27.810
there is the flier takes so just kind of goes round using Word.

00:02:27.810 --> 00:02:30.150
So open and you can see it's dumped it in there.

00:02:30.150 --> 00:02:33.770
Now the difference between the two is very little and what we're doing,

00:02:33.770 --> 00:02:37.010
but what you can do and what we'll do later on in more,

00:02:37.010 --> 00:02:40.310
more advanced sections is if we go to File and we got a place,

00:02:40.310 --> 00:02:43.860
there is option here that says options and it says show input options.

00:02:43.860 --> 00:02:45.800
It means when I bring in my Word document,

00:02:45.800 --> 00:02:48.725
I get to keep some of the styles that might be in there.

00:02:48.725 --> 00:02:51.020
Maybe there is a table that contains that sort of stuff.

00:02:51.020 --> 00:02:53.510
I'm going to turn that off and hide that for the moment.

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.

00:02:57.350 --> 00:02:59.930
Now on my black arrow, I'm going to drag this box,

00:02:59.930 --> 00:03:02.690
and I'm going to make the box so it's kind of fits in here

00:03:02.690 --> 00:03:06.195
appropriately within my margins,

00:03:06.195 --> 00:03:07.870
kind of under the logo here.

00:03:07.870 --> 00:03:11.375
What I want to do is I'm going to use my type tool.

00:03:11.375 --> 00:03:13.850
Now you notice I don't jump to the type tool just kind of

00:03:13.850 --> 00:03:17.120
double-click inside the box and it automatically jumps to the type tool.

00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:19.970
That's kind of up to you. So I'm going to select title

00:03:19.970 --> 00:03:23.480
and I'm going to do some basic type stuff now.

00:03:23.480 --> 00:03:26.780
Okay. So if you are happy with formatting type, you might want to skip along.

00:03:26.780 --> 00:03:28.505
We're going to do some of the basics.

00:03:28.505 --> 00:03:30.020
We're going to pick a font,

00:03:30.020 --> 00:03:32.515
was going to pick Arial because I know everyone's got Arial,

00:03:32.515 --> 00:03:37.320
it can be a Spell Arial or use Arial Bold for bits of it.

00:03:37.320 --> 00:03:38.805
I'm going to select all again,

00:03:38.805 --> 00:03:41.780
and along the top you've got these two options.

00:03:41.780 --> 00:03:45.230
Okay. Now, you might be happy with bold and sizes and stuff,

00:03:45.230 --> 00:03:47.390
but you'll notice that these two here have

00:03:47.390 --> 00:03:49.835
very different kind of see things and we need a lot of them.

00:03:49.835 --> 00:03:54.710
So I can see among its character and paragraph is the actual names of these.

00:03:54.710 --> 00:03:57.310
So character has my basic character stuff.

00:03:57.310 --> 00:03:59.540
You can see all the way down here there's some paragraphs,

00:03:59.540 --> 00:04:02.460
so that's only because my screen is very large.

00:04:02.460 --> 00:04:04.265
If you've got a smaller laptop,

00:04:04.265 --> 00:04:05.930
you might not be able to see any of these.

00:04:05.930 --> 00:04:09.040
You're going to have to jump to paragraph and you can see there.

00:04:09.040 --> 00:04:11.465
So you might have to toggle between these two.

00:04:11.465 --> 00:04:14.885
So I want to go to the one that says aligns center,

00:04:14.885 --> 00:04:19.670
I'm going to highlight this topic and I'm going to make it my colors over here.

00:04:19.670 --> 00:04:21.770
I'm going to select the,

00:04:21.770 --> 00:04:23.205
I'm not going to use dark green at all.

00:04:23.205 --> 00:04:24.540
I'm actually just going use white.

00:04:24.540 --> 00:04:26.355
So which is piper over here.

00:04:26.355 --> 00:04:27.870
Okay, select the text Peter piper,

00:04:27.870 --> 00:04:29.705
I'm going to go back to character.

00:04:29.705 --> 00:04:32.285
I'm going to make it all caps.

00:04:32.285 --> 00:04:34.015
So I'm going to capitalize it all.

00:04:34.015 --> 00:04:35.455
In terms of the font size,

00:04:35.455 --> 00:04:36.680
I'm going to pick a font size.

00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:38.270
What font size? I don't know.

00:04:38.270 --> 00:04:40.505
I'm going to go to about there.

00:04:40.505 --> 00:04:42.800
Okay. So 22.0.

00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:45.565
Go back to my black arrow, clicking the background.

00:04:45.565 --> 00:04:49.300
It's maybe a little bit close to this black arrow come down a little bit.

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.

00:04:55.190 --> 00:04:58.680
I'm going to use my green.

00:04:58.680 --> 00:05:00.570
I'm going to use the mid green.

00:05:00.570 --> 00:05:02.130
This last kind of URL here,

00:05:02.130 --> 00:05:07.085
I'm going to select it all make the same size when you use the dark green.

00:05:07.085 --> 00:05:12.600
Black arrow, click out and that my friends is the basics of importing ticks.

00:05:12.600 --> 00:05:15.095
You can either just draw text box copy and paste that into it,

00:05:15.095 --> 00:05:17.765
or you can go to File Place up to you.

00:05:17.765 --> 00:05:21.880
We're not going to go through everything like this font selected here.

00:05:21.880 --> 00:05:25.460
I'm not going to go through what does subscript

00:05:25.460 --> 00:05:29.410
and tracking will look at some of the more advanced ones a little bit later on,

00:05:29.410 --> 00:05:32.480
but there are the basics in here and everyone knows what banner,

00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:34.870
right aligners and left aligners, I hope.

00:05:34.870 --> 00:05:36.859
If you're not sure on some of them experiment,

00:05:36.859 --> 00:05:39.650
we will go through more and more as we get through this course.

00:05:39.650 --> 00:05:41.630
But for the moment now we've got our font,

00:05:41.630 --> 00:05:43.550
we've got are text in, we've got some images.

00:05:43.550 --> 00:05:46.590
Let's get on to our next video.
