Tutorial
Complete the Inside Spread

The columns of text that make up the feature article will look much better if the text in the middle column runs shorter than the text in the columns on either side of it. The easiest way to do that is to move the last paragraph that starts in the middle text block so it starts at the top of the text block to its right.

  1. Click the I-beam pointer in the Tools palette to select it.

  2. Select an insertion point at the beginning of the first line of the last paragraph at the bottom of the second text block, the line that starts "The Museum's technical staff..."

  3. Choose Insert Column Break from the Edit menu. All the text after the insertion point is moved to the top of the next block in the chain. The last element in the inside spread of the bulletin is a caption for the photograph of the baskets. It sits at the far right side of the spread.

  4. Press Command-1 to switch to Size To Fit view.

  5. Select the text block tool in the Tools palette.

  6. Hold down the Command key while you draw a text block that starts in the last grid rectangle in the third row on page 3 and ends in the grid rectangle right below it. A text block with an insertion point snaps to the grid. The stylesheet for captions in this bulletin is included among the stylesheets you imported from the Bulletin Templates file.

  7. Press Command-4 to switch to Actual Size view.

  8. Choose Apply Style from the Edit menu and then choose Caption from the submenu of stylesheets that appears. The Caption stylesheet is applied to the insertion point.

  9. Type the caption: Patterns in richly dyed wicker are typical of baskets by Third-Mesa artisans.
