1 00:00:06,560 --> 00:00:08,730 Hi there. In this video, 2 00:00:08,730 --> 00:00:11,570 we're going to look at bringing in texts into InDesign. 3 00:00:11,565 --> 00:00:14,495 Look at some special features when we're bringing in from something 4 00:00:14,490 --> 00:00:17,780 like Microsoft web with a top one here brings through all of formatting, 5 00:00:17,775 --> 00:00:20,765 that wasn't weighed at head, Italics and bolds, 6 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:24,120 and this version here where it comes in all scrubbed and cleaned. 7 00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:25,550 Both versions are useful. 8 00:00:25,545 --> 00:00:27,765 Let's look at how to do those. 9 00:00:27,765 --> 00:00:29,745 First of all, get and delete 10 00:00:29,745 --> 00:00:32,395 our Lorem Ipsum that we had there before because we've got the copy. 11 00:00:32,390 --> 00:00:33,730 Now, I'm going to bring it in, 12 00:00:33,725 --> 00:00:37,405 and the easiest way is probably just to open up the file in Word and copy and paste it. 13 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:39,260 There's nothing wrong with that, but you probably don't need 14 00:00:39,260 --> 00:00:41,450 me to show you how to copy and paste text. 15 00:00:41,450 --> 00:00:43,400 But the other way you can do it in InDesign 16 00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,610 without having to open up Word, so you don't have Word. 17 00:00:45,605 --> 00:00:47,675 You can go with a cursor flashing here. 18 00:00:47,675 --> 00:00:51,225 We can go to "File and go to place like we did images, 19 00:00:51,220 --> 00:00:53,300 and then here under "O3 Newsletter", 20 00:00:53,295 --> 00:00:54,715 there's one called "Article 1. 21 00:00:54,715 --> 00:00:59,095 I'm going to click "Open', you can see it's bordered all through into InDesign. 22 00:00:59,090 --> 00:01:01,310 One of the things that's done by default is that it's 23 00:01:01,310 --> 00:01:03,730 kept the formatting that was in Word. 24 00:01:03,725 --> 00:01:05,365 But say you don't want that, you don't want the bolds 25 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,400 and italics because there's a lot of rubbish in there. 26 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,550 Let's say I'm going to undo it. 27 00:01:09,545 --> 00:01:13,505 Well, you'll also notice is when I "Undo' the axes not completely gone. 28 00:01:13,505 --> 00:01:17,185 It's actually just ended up in my cursor and just a wade quick. 29 00:01:17,180 --> 00:01:20,020 Actually, what I'm going to do is instead undoing, 30 00:01:20,015 --> 00:01:22,565 I'm going to signal that takes in, just delete it. 31 00:01:22,565 --> 00:01:24,115 Now, get my cursor back in there. 32 00:01:24,110 --> 00:01:27,470 I'm going to go to the W key, so you can see the box raised here. 33 00:01:27,470 --> 00:01:29,300 Let get back to him, 34 00:01:29,300 --> 00:01:31,690 and let's go to "File "Place", 35 00:01:31,685 --> 00:01:33,325 but we're going to look at a little extra, 36 00:01:33,320 --> 00:01:35,420 but this is why it's quite nice to use 37 00:01:35,420 --> 00:01:38,210 file-place rather than just copying and pasting from Word, 38 00:01:38,210 --> 00:01:40,040 as this is the options down here. 39 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:41,840 I click on it, without opening it, 40 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:47,010 I click on "Options", and I'm going to go show input options, and click "Open". 41 00:01:47,010 --> 00:01:50,600 It looks complicated, but basically what I want to do is this one, 42 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,320 which says remove all the styles and text from Word. 43 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,880 Bring it in, you'll notice that it's just plain old text, 44 00:01:57,875 --> 00:01:59,655 scrubbed of all the formatting. 45 00:01:59,650 --> 00:02:02,300 Codes. One of the other ways of bringing in texts, 46 00:02:02,300 --> 00:02:04,910 it's the same way with a slightly different technique. 47 00:02:04,910 --> 00:02:06,200 We're going to use" File", "Place" box. 48 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:07,990 If I have nothing selected, 49 00:02:07,985 --> 00:02:09,625 and I delete this. 50 00:02:09,620 --> 00:02:14,140 Nothing selected, click on the "Background black arrow" and go to file-place. 51 00:02:14,140 --> 00:02:16,410 I nearly the same options are on, 52 00:02:16,410 --> 00:02:19,190 so I'm going to make sure it says show in put options, which is great. 53 00:02:19,185 --> 00:02:23,155 But when I hit "Article 1" and click "Open" now because I 54 00:02:23,150 --> 00:02:27,220 don't have that textbooks are already on the page and have my cursor in it. 55 00:02:27,215 --> 00:02:28,925 Something slightly different is going to happen. 56 00:02:28,925 --> 00:02:31,015 I'm going to make sure, I remove styles, perfect. 57 00:02:31,010 --> 00:02:33,310 But you can see my cursor is loaded down, 58 00:02:33,305 --> 00:02:36,865 and what I can do is just click "Hold" and drag out a box. 59 00:02:36,865 --> 00:02:38,555 We end up at the same place, 60 00:02:38,550 --> 00:02:40,260 It depends on what comes natural to you. 61 00:02:40,260 --> 00:02:43,820 Do you like to draw the textbox first and then heavy cursor run and place it? 62 00:02:43,820 --> 00:02:47,210 Or just go to file-place and make the textbox at the exact same time. 63 00:02:47,210 --> 00:02:48,470 That's often what I do, 64 00:02:48,470 --> 00:02:50,810 but everyone's a little different for that one. 65 00:02:50,810 --> 00:02:53,270 So that's bringing in texts from Microsoft Word, 66 00:02:53,265 --> 00:02:55,565 or pretty much any old text document. 67 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:59,910 Now, let's make some columns and things. See you next video.
