Lesson 2: Letterhead
In this week's lesson
you will create a new kind of PageMaker file called a template. This is a
handy file format for saving "boilerplate" documents (like stationery) which
can be pre-printed and then customized for each use. You will actually
create two files: one for the letterhead and one for the envelope and card
(that's because they require different page orientations: one is tall and
one is wide). You will also
-
change your default measurement system from inches to picas
-
learn a nifty trick for creating a logo with type
-
create a custom color palette using spot colors and tints
-
resize, reflect, and rotate a text block
-
group separate objects together into a single entity
-
copy objects from one file to another by clicking and dragging
-
discover the Lock Position and Non-Printing commands
This week's assignment is due in my e-mailbox by noon Monday, Apr. 24.
