After formatting and aligning the text on the third page, you will draw a box that will serve to frame an illustration. This boxed illustration and its corresponding caption will span the width of both columns.
You will apply the same styles to the text on the third page as you did on the previous pages.
1. |
Click the page 3 icon to view the third page of the publication. As before, all master-page elements are displayed within the bounds of the third page. |
2. |
If there is no text in column 1 on page 3, click the page 2 icon to view the second page, click the text in column 2 with the pointer tool to select it as a text block, and click the red triangle at the bottom of the text block to load the remaining text. Then click the page 3 icon to view the third page. Let the loaded text icon snap to the margin guides in the top left corner of column 1, and then click to place the text. |
3. |
With the pointer tool selected, click the text in column 1 to select it as a text block. The red triangle in the bottom windowshade handle indicates there is more text to be placed. Before manually flowing the remaining text into column 2, you will format the text in column 1. |
4. |
Select the text tool ( |

With the text tool still selected, click the first paragraph below the subhead text you just formatted to establish an insertion point in the paragraph. In the Styles palette click, No Indent. |

Because the illustration and caption will extend across the bottom portion of both columns, you will resize the text block in column 1, and manually flow the remaining text into column 2.
Before reducing the size of the text block in column 1, you will create a horizontal ruler guide aligned with text in column 1. You will eventually use this horizontal ruler guide to align the bottom edge of the box that contains an illustration, allowing enough space for a single-line caption.
1. |
From the horizontal ruler, drag to create a horizontal ruler guide aligned with the baseline of the second line of text above the bottom margin guide. After drawing the box that will frame the illustration, you will use this horizontal ruler guide to align the box. |
2. |
From the horizontal ruler, drag to create a horizontal ruler guide aligned with the baseline of text nearest to the 5.9-inch mark on the vertical ruler. |
3. |
Select the pointer tool, click the text in column 1 to select it as a text block, and drag the bottom windowshade handle just below the line of text aligned with the horizontal ruler guide you just created. |
4. |
Click the red triangle in the bottom windowshade handle to load the remaining text in the story. |
5. |
With the loaded text icon displayed, position the icon in the top left corner of column 2, letting it snap to the column and margin guides. Click to place the text. Depending upon how precise you were when you placed the graphics and text throughout this project, the lines may not end in exactly the same spot. Make sure the first line of each text block on this page aligns. Do not worry if one text block is a few lines longer than the other. |

After creating a box that will frame the final illustration, you will align it with an existing horizontal ruler guide.
1. |
Select the rectangle tool ( |
2. |
In the Control palette, type 3.87 for H, and press Enter or Return to establish the height for the box. |
3. |
With the box still selected, choose Element > Stroke > Hairline to assign a stroke style and weight to the line of the box. |
4. |
Select the pointer tool, position the pointer on the edge of the box, hold down Shift (to constrain the movement), and drag the box until its bottom edge snaps to the horizontal ruler guide you created, with the left and right edges of the box still aligned with the margin guides. |

After placing the final illustration, you will place, format, and align its corresponding caption.
