Adobe InDesign Chapter 4 Review

How does Dynamic Spelling help you to spell check a document?

• InDesign will automatically change the words you typed incorrectly to the correct word.

• You can see at a glance all the words InDesign identifies as spelled incorrectly.

• A Check Spelling dialog box appears, allowing you to ignore or change spellings.

• Dynamic Spelling automatically recognizes words in a number of different languages.

Answer explanation

A red zig-zag line will underline misspelled words, and a green zig-zag line will appear under problems (e.g., a repeated word).

The words at the bottom of the image are a web site URL. How can you tell InDesign not to spell check these words?

• Delete the word, and replace it with another word.

• Go to Edit > Spelling, and then turn off Dynamic.

• In the Control panel, change the language to No Language.

• Use the Conditional Text panel to flag the words.

Answer explanation

Using this option is the best and quickest way to have the software accept that these words are not misspelled.

You are using Find/Change to find the word "end." However, you notice that InDesign highlights the "end" within the word "tremendously." What, if anything, can you do?

• Unfortunately, this is a limitation in Find/Change in InDesign.

• Change the scope by selecting the Whole Word icon under Search in the dialog box.

• Change the scope by changing Search in the Find/Change dialog box to All Documents.

• Type "end" with the quotation marks in Find What to limit the find to just the word "end."

Answer explanation

This will limit the find to only occasions of the letters e-n-d appearing by themselves in a word.

What is a feature you cannot change with the Find/Change dialog box?

• Color of frames

• Page size

• Text on parent pages

• Text formatting

Answer explanation

The Find/Change dialog box only changes elements on pages, not the pages themselves.

When you use the Place feature to import a text story, InDesign loads the Place cursor. Holding down the Shift key when you click does what?

• Imports and links the story to the file on disk.

• Imports only to the first heading

• Imports just the first paragraph

• Imports the whole story, automatically adding more pages

Sometimes you will see a small square with a plus sign on the bottom right of your text (circled in the image). What is the plus sign?

• It is an indicator showing you where the Threading Tool is positioned.

• It is an indicator telling you the text frame is overset.

• It is an indicator showing you where your Text Tool is positioned.

• It is an indicator showing you the type of Place Cursor you have.

Answer explanation

It is the out port that when you select it with the Selection Tool, you can thread the text to another frame.

Given the indicators in the image, what do you know about this page layout?

• Two frames are threaded, one is overset.

• There is text outside the frame and image captions are missing.

• The decorative headline is mixed with a san serif font.

• The text is linked to the photographs.

Answer explanation

The first thing we see is the threading of two text frames to each other, and the second frame still has overset text.
