Chapter 2: Workspace and workflow

Create new documents

Page design begins with the basics: starting a new document, setting up pages, and positioning margins and columns

or changing grid settings.

Create a new document

1 Choose File > New > Document.

The New Document dialog box combines the Document Setup and the Margins And Columns dialog boxes, so that

you can set up the page size, margins, and page columns all in one place. You can change these settings at any time.

2 Specify document setup options. (See New Document options.)

To specify the dimensions of the bleed and slug areas, click the Arrow button before the Bleed and Slug label. The

bleed and slug areas extend out from the edges of the defined Page Size. To make the bleed or slug areas extend

evenly on all sides, click the Make All Settings The Same icon

3 (Only in InDesign CC) Select the Preview checkbox to see how your new document will look like. Make necessary

changes if required.

4 Click OK to open the new document with the settings you specified.

To set default layout settings for all new documents, choose File > Document Setup or Layout > Margins And Columns,

and set options when no documents are open.

New Document options

Document Preset Choose a preset that you have saved earlier.

Intent If you are creating a document to be output to PDF or SWF for the web, choosing the Web option changes

several options in the dialog box, such as turning off Facing Pages, changing the orientation from portrait to landscape,

and using a page size based on monitor resolution. You can edit any of these settings after the document is created.

CS6 and later: Digital publishing intent has been added for publications aimed for the Digital Publishing Suite. You can

also change the intent of the document after it is created.

Number of pages Specify the number of pages to create in the new document.

Start Page # Specify which number the document starts on. If you specify an even number (such as 2) with Facing

Pages selected, the first spread in the document begins with a two-page spread. See

Start a document with a two-page

spread .

Facing Pages Select this option to make left and right pages face each other in a double-page spread, such as for books

and magazines. Deselect this option to let each page stand alone, such as when you’re printing flyers or posters or when

you want objects to bleed in the binding.

After you’ve created a document, you can use the Pages panel to create spreads with more than two pages or force the

first two pages to open as a spread. (See

Control spread pagination .)
