Introduction
This is what we'll set up in this episode: margins and columns for the entire document, then different columns for specific pages without affecting the others. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe InDesign series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Margins and columns are the layout framework. In InDesign, both can be set for the entire document or only for selected pages.
Step 1: Checking the initial layout
Open the cafe brochure file. The magenta line shows the 15 mm margin and the purple line divides the page into two columns. This framework comes from the settings when the document was created.
Step 2: Margin for the entire document
Make sure no objects are selected, then choose Layout, Margins and Columns. Change the Margin Boto to 20 mm to leave space for the page number. Check Preview to see the changes instantly, then click OK.
Step 3: Selecting a specific page
Columns can be different per page. In the Pages panel, click once on the thumbnail of page three, which is the menu page, to select only this page. The following margins and columns settings will only apply to the selected page.
Step 4: Three columns for the menu page
Choose Layout, Margins and Columns again. Change the number to 3 and the gutter to 5 mm, then click OK. Page three now has three columns, while other pages remain with two columns.
Step 5: Adjusting the frame with columns
Text frames do not automatically follow the new column layout. Select the photo frame on the menu page and drag its handle until it sticks to the third column guide. Column guides are magnetic, so the frame size adjusts precisely.
Step 6: Enable Layout Adjustment
If you want the frame to adjust automatically when the margin or column changes, check Enable Layout Adjustment in the Margins and Columns dialog. This feature is useful when resizing the document, but check the result because not all layouts can be automatically adjusted. Done.
Done!
We've already changed the Marine throughout the document. Selecting a specific page in the Pages panel, creating three columns for the menu page specifically, adjusting the frame with the column guides, and learning Enable Layout Adjustment.
