We are going to create and save our Master Pages and there is a lot to cover. Unfortunately, I couldn't decide on an appropriate place to break this topic up so this is a long article. 8@08888Start GeoPublish, choose the Create new document 8@88888button and then enter "TutorialPart1" as the name of the file. If you are using two drives make sure you use the Drive button to create your file on the second drive. The file opens up in Page Graphics mode but we want to change to Master Pages Mode so choose the Mode Menu and then select Master Pages (make note of the Commodore Key shortcuts as they are much quicker to use to change modes). If you have, or can get, a copy of the July/August 1991 RUN Magazine there is a great chart listing all of the geoPublish keyboard shortcuts. 8@88888@Follow the Blueprint 8@08888DMuch of what we determined previously in our 8@88888Pre-Planning steps gets done in Master Pages mode. Remember, everything we do here will be visible on every page in our project. Text and graphics will print out but the guidelines won't (unless you specifically choose to print them). 8@08888DThe first thing we need to do in Master Pages Mode 8@88888is setup our file. Choose the File Menu and then Doc Setup. Each GeoPublish document is limited to 16 pages and then we have to start a new document. The Page Number option lets us keep numbering continuously across multiple geoPublish documents. For our first document we want the starting page as #1.We also want 2 Master Pages and the Right Page as the first page. Press the OK button to return to Master Pages mode. 8@08888DNow we are going to set our Column Guidelines 8@88888[gP Pages 4-5 and 4-6]. Make sure the Pointer tool [gP Page 3-5] is selected and then move your pointer into the Top Guideline Margin. Your pointer will change shape. Move it along the margin and click your mouse button at the 1 inch, 4.5 inch and 8 inch marks across the top of the page. This will create dotted lines down t8@88888down the page which can be used for one wide column or two narrow columns. 8@08888DSet guidelines at the 1/2 inch, 1 inch, 1 1/2 inch, 8@88888and 10 1/4 inch marks in the Left Guideline Margin [gP Page 4-5]. To set the 10 1/4 inch (10 18/72) guideline you must position your pointer as close as you can and then use the cursor keys to move up or down until the display under the Y indicator in the Document ID box [gP Page 3-5] shows 10 1/4. 8@08888DThese guidelines will help us layout the majority of 8@88888our headlines and two-column text regions in Page Layout mode. For some of our pages we will want to use a 3 column layout. To accommodate this create two more vertical guidelines in the Top Guideline Margin at the 3 26/80 and 5 54/80 marks. You will have to use the cursor keys to position these guidelines. 8@08888DIf you have read through your GeoPublish manual 8@88888you may be wondering why we just don't use one of the Master Page Layouts provided in the sample libraries. I have a number of reasons but it mainly comes down to Column Spacing and Gutters. We'll get to Gutters when we deal with Page Layout Mode. 8@88888@Special Text 8@08888DWhat we want to do next is setup our page 8@88888numbering. Go to the DISP menu and select Zoom. A box will come on the screen instead of your mouse Pointer. Move to the lower right corner and press your mouse button. You will now see a closeup of that corner of the page. Two of our guidelines should be visible in the closeup view. 8@08888DIf you don't see the two guidelines check the Page 8@88888Indicator at the top of the screen to the left of the Document Title Bar (this isn't identified in the gP manual but is in the geoWrite sections on Page 150 of the GEOS v2.0 manual and Page 5-2 of the GEOS v1.2 manual). The 'writing window' is the dark box in the Page Indicator. Drag your pointer to the edges of the screen to move the writing window to the bottom right corner of the Page Indicator. 8@08888@ This will create dotted lines t on 8@08888pSelect the Text tool [gP Page 3-5] in the toolbox on the left side of the page and then position your mouse pointer under the horizontal line and about 1/2" to the left of the vertical line. When you click your button a box will open up allowing you to enter text. 8@08888Enter the word "PAGE "; all-caps followed by a 8@88888space, no quotation marks. The program will sub- stitute the actual page number for this keyword when the project gets printed. Click on the @Attr button to set the Attributes for our Page Number. We said that LW_Zapf was going to be used for page numbers so click on either scroll arrow beside the Font box to select LW_Zapf. If you don't see LW_Zapf in the list make sure you copied it to your geoPublish disk. Select 12 for the Pointsize. Set the Justification option to Right and leave everything else alone. Click OK to return to Zoom mode. 8@08888DYou should now see the word PAGE crammed 8@88888@over to the right edge of the view. In order to make changes we need to select the Pointer tool in the toolbox. Once you select the Pointer Tool click on the word PAGE to bring up the bounding rectangle [gP Page 3-21]. Click on the Size Button and move this to the left until it is aligned with the vertical guideline and then click to set the new position. If the text is not all visible in the bounding rectangle click on the Move Button to move the entire box to the left and then use the Size Button again to re-align the whole thing with the vertical guideline. Click on the Pointer Tool in the Toolbox to make the bounding box disappear. 8@08888DActually, clicking anywhere on the screen will also 8@88888@work but that can cause problems. If you have drawn a border around the entire page you may not see it when you are in Zoom mode. When you click anywhere on the screen you would make the bounding rectangle on the word PAGE disappear but you could actually be selecting the page border. When an object is selected you are not able to scroll the screen. Since you can't see that an object is selected it can be confusing as to why you are unable to scroll the screen. To avoid this it is best to just click on the Pointer Tool to remove the bounding rectangle when working in Zoom mode. 8@08888DNow that we have placed Special Text in Master 8@88888@Pages Mode I'll let you in on a little secret. The same process is used to place Special Text in Page Graphics Mode. You will have to know how to do this. 8@08888DAnother little secret is that you need to make sure 8@88888@there is enough r@there is enough rrgh rnoug8@88888process is used to place Special Text in Page Graphics Mode. You will have to know how to do this. 8@08888DAnother little secret is that you need to make sure 8@88888@there is enough room in your Bounding Rectangle to contain the text. Leave plenty of space around your text. This is necessary as the LW Fonts are only a good approximation of the PS fonts. If your bounding rectangle fits tight around the text it contains there is every likelihood that some of the text will get cutoff when it is printed on the PS Printer. With practice you will learn how to size these text boxes. 8@08888DWe are now done with our Page Number so go 8@88888@back to the DISP menu and select Preview. You will be returned to the full page view. 8@08888DOn our Right pages we want to have a footer that 8@88888@says "files available at http://members.shaw.ca/cue64". We also want a line going across the page at the 10 1/4" mark. To make drawing the line easier go to the Options menu and select Snap (C= S). This turns the guidelines into a 'magnet' that attracts and holds your pointer and makes it easier to put objects exactly where you want them. 8@08888DSelect the Line tool in the toolbox and then select 8@88888@the Attributes tool right below it (or use the C= A shortcut). We want the square shape, set line width to the narrowest it can go with the down arrow button, Transparent mode and solid black pattern. Click OK. 8@08888DMove your pointer onto the page and down to the 8@88888@bottom where the 1" and 10 1/4" guidelines intersect. As you get close you will see that your pointer SNAPs onto the guideline. Click your mouse button and then drag the line across the page to the 8" guideline and click again. 8@08888DTo put our footer text onto the page go into Zoom 8@88888@Mode and move to the lower left corner of the page. Select the Text tool and then bring up the Attributes (C= A). SNAP does not work in Zoom mode so move your pointer to the first dot on the 1" Guideline directly below the horizontal line we just put on the page. Click your mouse button and the text entry box will appear. Enter ("files available at http://members.shaw.ca /cue64") for our footer text and then press the @Attr button. We want LW_Giannini in 14 point, solid black, Center and Across and then press OK. 8@08888pYou should be able to see some of the text at the right edge of the zoom window. Scroll to the right side of the page and then select the Pointer Tool. Click on the word 'cue' in our footer text and t8@08888pYou should be able to see some of the text at the right edge of the zoom window. Scroll to the right side of the page and then select the Pointer Tool. Click on the word 'cue64' in our footer text and the bounding rectangle will appear. You will see that this rectangle goes all the way to the right side of the page. We want our text centered between our guidelines so click on the SIZE button and drag the edge of the rectangle back to our 8" guideline. Make sure you drag the rectangle down a bit as well to expand it for the text. Once you have the rectangle in position click the Pointer tool to deselect the text. 8@08888DYou may notice that our PAGE text is no longer 8@88888@visible. Choose the Update tool [gP Page 3-5] to refresh the page and make PAGE visible again. Return to Preview Mode (C= P). 8@08888DAs you saw previously when we created our 8@88888@special text and chose CENTER the area for it stretched all the way across the page. There will be times when you want to CENTER your text in a narrower area. In those instances just enter one word and leave the justification at LEFT before closing the text box. Then you can size the bounding rectangle and edit the text before choosing CENTER without having to scroll to the right edge of the page and shrink the box (which can be a real pain if you are working on the left edge). We'll use this technique later on. 8@88888D@Copy and Edit 8@08888DWe could do the whole thing over from scratch 8@88888@again for our Left Master Page but we'll take a bit of a shortcut. Press the Left button on the left side of the screen. You will see that our Left Master Page is blank. Press the Right button to return to our Right Master Page, press the COPY button, then press the Left button again and you will see that everything we just created has been copied to the Left Master Page. A great time saver these computers are! 8@08888DBut, since we are going to have different margins 8@88888@to make room for a binding and we want the page number in the opposite corner and a different footer, we have a bit of touchup to do. 8@08888DSelect the Guideline at the 1 inch mark (click on the 8@88888symbol in the Margin) and drag it to the left to the 1/2" mark. Drag the other 4 vertical guidelines 1/2 an inch to the left so 8@88888mark. Drag the other 4 vertical guidelines 1/2 an inch to the left so that we have guidelines at 1/2", 2 66/80", 4", 5 14/80" and 7 1/2". Use the cursor keys to set the positions as required. Our horizontal guidelines don't have to be changed. 8@08888DIf you have to remove a Guideline after setting it 8@88888@just select it by clicking on the marker and then drop that onto the ruler markings. For any of these Graphics or Special Text elements on our pages if you make a mistake or need to fix things you can highlight the item with the Pointer Tool and then use the Delete Tool [gP Page 3-6] to remove the item. 8@08888DAt the bottom of the page you can see the line we 8@88888@drew on the 10 1/4" Guideline. It needs to be shifted left 1/2 an inch. We could re-position it or we could delete it and draw a new line. The second option is easier so click on the line to highlight it and then click the Scissors in the toolbox to delete it. Make sure Snap (C= S) is on and then select the line tool and drag a new line from the 1/2" mark to the 7 1/2" mark on the 10 1/4" Guideline. Press the Update Tool to redraw the page. 8@08888DIn the lower right corner of the page you should see 8@88888@a bit of a blurry area where our page number is. Turn SNAP off and then click on the blurry area with your pointer and the Bounding Rectangle should appear with the Move and Size buttons. Click on the Move button and drag the Page Number across to the left corner by the left vertical guideline. Click to place the box and then select Zoom from the Disp menu. Place the Zoom box in the lower left corner. 8@08888DWhen the zoom screen opens click on the word 8@88888@PAGE again to bring up the box. Use the Move Button to line the box up just below the horizontal guideline and even with the vertical guideline. With the bounding box still visible select the Attribute Setting Tool from the toolbox [gP Page 3-5]. When the Attributes come up change the Justification from Right to Left. Leave everything else alone and press OK to exit. The word PAGE should now be at the left edge of the box. Resize the bounding rectangle and then click anywhere on the zoom screen to get rid of the bounding box. 8@08888p 8@08888Next we want to change our Footer text for the even numbered pages. Click on the word "files" in the 8@08888Next we want to change our Footer text for the even numbered pages. Click on the word "files" in the visible portion of the footer text. Use the @C= A shortcut to bring up the Attributes box and then press the Edit button. Delete all of the text and then enter "GeoPublish Tutorial - 2003 / 2005". Click OK. Click on the Move button and drag the footer text to the left to line up with our guideline. Click the Pointer Tool to remove the bounding rectangle. Scroll to the right edge of the page and make sure the footer bounding rectangle is lined up with the right guideline (click in the area where you know the rectangle should be and then use the size button to line up the box with the guideline). 8@88888D@Libraries 8@08888@ Since we will need to use these same Master Page Layouts in the subsequent files of our project we need to save them to a Master Page Library. From the File Menu select Library. Create a new library8@08888Menu select Library. Create a new library file called "TutorialMaster" and Save the page layout as "LeftMaster" in the first Empty position. Once that has been saved click on the Right Button to view the Right Master Page. Again, select Library from the File menu and then choose the second Empty entry. Enter "RightMaster" as the name to Save this layout as. That is it for this time around. Copy the TutorialMaster MP Layout file to your backup floppy disk along with the TutorialPart1 geoPublish file. Next time we will create some Page Layouts and begin to pour our articles onto the pages. Until then, enGEOy your Commodore!, enGEOy your Commodore!n, enGEOy your Commodore!hen, enGEOy your Commodore!@88888jj
