Duplicate objects into rows or columns
Use the Step and Repeat command to instantly create rows or columns of duplicates. For example, you can fill a page
with evenly spaced duplicates of a single business card design.
1 Select the object or objects you want to duplicate.
2 Choose Edit > Step and Repeat.
3 For Repeat Count, specify how many duplicates you want to make, not counting the original.
4 For Horizontal Offset and Vertical Offset, specify how far to shift the position of each new duplicate from the
previous duplicate along the x and y axes, respectively, and click OK.
To create a page full of duplicates, first use Step and Repeat with Vertical Offset set to 0 (zero); this will create one
row of duplicates. Then select the entire row and use Step and Repeat with Horizontal Offset set to 0; this will repeat
the row down the page.
Create nonprinting objects
You might want to create objects that appear onscreen, but will not be printed or appear in portable versions of the
document.
You can also use layers to selectively hide or show elements in a document, and you can assign layers a non-printing
status.
1 Select the object or text frame that you don’t want to be printed.
2 Open the Attributes panel (Window > Attributes).
3 In the Attributes panel, select Nonprinting.

Working with frames and objects
Modifying objects using graphics frames
Adobe InDesign objects include any item you can add or create in the document window, including open paths,
closed paths, compound shapes and paths, type, rasterized artwork, 3D objects, and any placed file, such as an image.
If a graphic exists inside a frame (as all imported graphics do), you can modify it by changing its relationship to its
frame, as in the following examples:
• Crop a graphic by making its frame smaller.
• Create various masking and layout effects by pasting an object into a frame.
• Add a keyline or outline to a graphic by changing the stroke weight and color of its frame.
• Center a graphic against a background rectangle by enlarging its frame and setting the frame’s fill color.
Paste an object into a frame
Use the Paste Into command to nest graphics within container frames. You can even nest graphics into nested frames.
Dear manymanuals.pl Admin! my name’s Eric and for just a second, imagine this… - Someone does a search and winds up at manymanuals.pl. - They hang out for a minute to check it out. I’m interested… but… maybe… - And then they hit the back button and check out the other search results instead. - Bottom line – you got an eyeball, but nothing else to show for it. - There they go. This isn’t really your fault – it happens a LOT – studies show 7 out of 10 visitors to any site disap
Dear, Eric here with a quick thought about your website manymanuals.pl Owner! I’m on the internet a lot and I look at a lot of business websites. Like yours, many of them have great content. But all too often, they come up short when it comes to engaging and connecting with anyone who visits. I get it – it’s hard. Studies show 7 out of 10 people who land on a site, abandon it in moments without leaving even a trace. You got the eyeball, but nothing else. Here’s a solution for y
