Introduction

This is what we will create in this episode, B-Parent for the chapter opening page that is nested under A-Parent, so it still has a page number but appears different. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the Complete Adobe InDesign Series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Documents often require several types of pages, such as content pages and chapter opening pages. Each type can have its own parent that is nested within another. Open the book file that already has page numbers in A-Parent.

ha Parent

Open the Pages panel menu and then new parent. Fill in prefix B and name opening chapter. On based on parent, select A-Parent, then OK. B-Parent inherits all elements from A-Parent, including page numbers. If A-Parent is changed, B-Parent will also change.

Step 3: Special Elements of B-Parent

Double-click B opening chapter. On the right page, create a cream-colored box in the top third of the page up to bleed. This is the characteristic of a chapter opening page.

Step 4: Apply by Dragging

Return to the Pages panel. Link B-Parent to the thumbnail of page 3. The text in the thumbnail corner changes from A to B, and page 3 now has a bleed area, as well as still having a page number.

Step 5: Other Opening Page

Link B-Parent to the next opening chapter page. Each opening chapter page is now consistent, without repeating the same elements repeatedly. Double-click A-Parent and then change the color of the page number to orange.

Step 6: Change Parent

The numbers on the A and B pages both change, because B inherits from A.

Done!

Done. We have created the B-Parent with new print, set it based on print, added special elements, applied it to pages by dragging, and observed the parent hierarchy descending. In the next episode, we will change the print item only on one page using override. Need a layout design for a magazine, book, brochure, product catalog, company profile, or annual report?
