What we've been working,
we've been just ignoring these like blue lines in
this little linking icon and has lots of blue lines around the edges of the boxes.
That can be a real pain when you're trying to line things up.
It just doesn't look very nice.
The quick and easy way to preview and tunnel that off is the W key,
just the W key on your keyboard next to Q and between A.
But for that to work, you need to be on the black arrow.
If you're on the type tool, you just going to type a W,
so be on the black arrow,
hit "W" in the keyboard,
look at that, blue line is gone.
You get the feel a bit of this space around.
You can still work in this view, you can see I click on it,
drag it around and there's nothing stopping you work like this except;
sometimes it is easy to see a little blue lines.
The other thing that might throw you off if you try and work in this view is,
when you hit "W" to go back out,
which is, if I start typing something and I go,
then we tap on the outside to not join them up and we typing.
Watch this, if I go to my black arrow and hit W, it's gone.
It's still there, just W hides all of that stuff.
That can be one of the things to note if anything starts disappearing in this gray area,
it's probably just because you got tap W again.
The other thing it does is; you see the bleed.
I'll zoom in, here we go.
If hit "W", you see the bleed gets trimmed off.
To give you a more of a view of like say
this border because it's going to get trimmed off and then remember ,
so it cuts that off and see,
I tap W all the time.
The problem with W is I forget when I'm in the tap tool,
when I type a W and I won't
notice and somebody will be proof checking my work and they'll be like,
''What's a home we?"
I'll pretend like I don't know, somebody else did it.
I know it's because I tap the W key and it was on the top top too. Bad day.
The other thing we're going to check is, the display.
Mine is set by default to high-quality display.
I think that's effect of the new bits of software.
The new installs of InDesign,
if you're using an older one. We're going to look at this.
I've got nothing selected. Come to view,
there's one called Display Performance.
Often, especially the earlier versions,
I'm not sure if it's the new version or not.
I'm not sure if it's sittings that I've got or it's remained from
my last install or whether it's actually by
default now but let's just double check typical display,
is what it used to be said as and yours might be.
The problem is, that things just look a little bit gross.
You can see the logo here,
just doesn't look very nice.
You know it's good quality because you've seen it in
a different program but it's not looking good in here.
The reason it's often the default for typical quality,
is because trying to run fast and InDesign turn around quickly so it's not
producing these beautiful outlined logos and it's the same with images.
It's, typical [inaudible]. What we can do,
nothing selected view and crank does up to high-quality.
I work in high-quality all the time even with an 80 page document.
Why? Because my machine can handle it.
I've got a pretty new MacBook Pro.
If you're working on a really old [inaudible] laptop,
hand me hand me downs.
You might find actually it just can't keep up.
You might, manually go in and say actually I was going
to look at it everything typical quality because maybe you're
doing type [inaudible] and it just takes so long to scroll
through all the pages so you can switch it typical quality.
If you're running Windows XP on a really old laptop that billy starts up,
what you might do is you might get a view and there's another one on there.
It says fast display.
What those will do is, allow you to take
some [inaudible] super-duper fast. These aren't gone.
If you produce a PDF now I'll print it, then print file,
they just kind of place holders to make the system run really fast.
If you off finding, men this is jumping in slow, switched to fast.
You can toggle between if you're working with the images.
One last thing about previewing,
let's say, I'm going present to somebody,
say a colleague of my boss or clients,
I'm going to show them my design.
Instead of showing them this ugly version with
the blue lines and all my swatches around here.
What I want do is present to them.
I could make a PDF and make a presentation, that sort of stuff.
But it's actually easy do straight from in design,
down the bottom here of your toolbox,
ride down the bottom.
This last one, if I click and hold normal.
Previews, are the one we've been toggling between when we hit W. This is the long way.
If I click on preview, that is exact same as hitting W. We don't want that one,
this one here we never use.
Bleeding slug will show you like a preview but include the slug a bleed and slug.
I hope. I never use these.
I use this one down the bottom here, presentation. Does this.
It's quite cool. It gets rid of all the junk and just presents it nicely,
kind of like a PowerPoint presentation.
If you've got multiple pages, you can use your keyboard.
I only have one page but you can use the R key on your keyboard and work through
all the different pages like PowerPoint..
You can actually add transitions between them all.
Will do that in the more advanced and design course.
How did I get out of that in it?
Hit escape to get back and we are back to
the ugly blue line vision W. All right, that's it for this one.
Let's go and make a PDF version in the next video. I'll see you there.
