Pagemaker Plugins Tutorials - Working with the Add Cont'd Line in Pagemaker - Many publications use jump lines ("Continued on..." and "Continued from...") to tell the reader where to find the next or previous section of a story. If you've created your columns with text blocks, PageMaker can automate this process by adding a one-line text block after the last text block on a page ("Continued on...") and before the first text block on a page ("Continued from...").

Pagemaker Plugins Tutorials - Balancing Columns in Pagemaker - Sometimes you want the columns on a page to be of equal size, so that their top and bottom edges align. If you have used text blocks to contain the text, PageMaker can automatically calculate the average length of selected columns and then resize them to that length.

Pagemaker Plugins Tutorial - Applying Bullets and Numbers in Pagemaker - Once you have formatted a hanging indent, you can use the following techniques to quickly add bullets or consecutive numbers (each followed by a tab) to a set of consecutive paragraphs, to every paragraph of a certain style, or to every paragraph in the selected story.

Pagemaker Plugins Tutorials - Changing Case of Text in Pagemaker - PageMaker provides three type-case attributes: Normal leaves uppercase and lowercase letters as typed; All Caps displays letters as full-sized capitals; and Small Caps displays lowercase letters as small capitals, based on the size specified.

Pagemaker Plugins Tutorials - Working with the Drop Cap in Pagemaker - Drop caps can be used to add interest to a document. In PageMaker, a drop cap can be applied only to the first character of a paragraph. Drop caps work best with longer paragraphs (generally at least 3-5 lines) but this varies on the specifics of your drop cap.

Pagemaker Plugins Tutorials - Using the Grid Manager in Pagemaker - The Grid Manager allows you to create a grid of horizontal and/or vertical lines automatically instead of manually.

Pagemaker Plugins Tutorials- Using the Build Booklet Plugin - The Build Booklet plug-in lets you create publications in which pages are arranged for printing multi-page spreads (e.g., a book). The arrangement of pages printed on a single sheet or form is called an imposition. The Build Booklet plug-in creates multiple page spreads that print on a single sheet and assume the correct page order when folded.

Pagemaker Plugins Tutorials - Using Running Headers and Footers in Pagemaker - Running headers and footers are similar to page headers and footers; however, the running headers and footers are applied to a story rather than a page. If the story continues onto another page, the running header and footer will repeat. If the story does not appear on the page, the running header and footer will not appear.

Pagemaker Plugins Tutorials - Header and Footer Options in Pagemaker - When creating running headers and footers for a story through the PageMaker Plug-in, you can choose to write your own content or use a selector option from the Content listing in the Running Headers and Footers dialog box.

Pagemaker Plugins Tutorials - Using the Keyline Plugin for Borders in Pagemaker - Some designs look nice with a thin border to keyline (or surround) objects on the page. PageMaker can create a border automatically by drawing a box (or oval, for oval objects or oval clipping paths) around the object and grouping the object and the keyline together. This is done with the Keyline Plug-in.

Pagemaker Plugins Tutorials - Word Counter in Pagemaker - Word Counter is used to keep track of the number of stories, text objects, characters, words, sentences, and paragraphs in the current publication.
