Hi there. In this video,
we are going to look at doing page breaks and column breaks.
You can see this heading here? It's really close to the bottom.
I'd like to just actually, push it to the next page.
Further on, there's probably some worse ones.
Let's have a look.
There's a big gap there. See this one here?
It definitely needs to be pushed across.
But obviously, we need to start as early on as we can because if we push this one along,
it's going to cascade down and everything's going to move along,
and that heading might be in a perfect place then.
I'm going to start with this one. I have these three lines
here and you can probably live with it,
I want it pushed to the next page.
I've got my cursor just in front of the word legacy.
See it flashing there? I'm going to go up to "Type" and down here,
it says "Insert Break Character," and there is Column Break and Page Break.
Page Break is going to push this to the very next page
and that's not what we want in this case.
We want to pop along to the next column here and not the next page.
This obviously, use cases for both.
We are going to go, "Insert Break Character", we have "Column Break",
and you'll just notice that here now,
we'll zoom out, is on the top of the next column.
This guy here, who's like a flow on effect where I want you now to go and say,
"Type", "Insert Break Character", and go "Column Break".
Now, how do we like these ones? These are all looking all right.
One thing you will notice here before we move on is that paragraph lines are appearing.
It's because there's a break character here
but it's got our paragraph style applied to it that we add.
You can have a column break character that does have that applied to it.
What we will do is you can either select it like I have,
just click this a little bit and change
a paragraph style or just after this full stop here,
I'm going to hit the Delete key.
Let's have a look at "Type".
Let's go to "Show Hidden Characters".
See that little character there?
That is the column break.
What we're going to do is I'm going to go Delete key and there's right there.
It's having its own line with a paragraph style applied.
But you can also see here,
I've got this guy.
He's called an orphan or widow,
I can't even remember which one,
but he's being pushed all by himself and he's a big old,
lonely guy at the end of this one,
and that just looks a bit wrong.
I could put in some,
maybe a column break just to push that along,
but actually, it's easy to probably just to grab
this and push this along a little bit until I'm happy.
I'm just pushing it to the left until a couple of lines appear,
because it makes no difference to my design.
I feel that looks fine,
hanging in there, or you could do the opposite and bring it in that way.
This is pushed to the one side. It looks good.
Now, with the column breaks and line breaks,
we're doing this quite late in the tutorial.
It's because it's one of the last things you want to do.
You do not want to be doing this earlier on
because if you make any text changes and these column breaks,
and it'll make sense if I go and add a bit of copy at the top here,
everything's going to be off the line again.
The last thing I do is just check.
I added some space in here earlier on in this tutorial.
Get rid of him, clean him up.
Everything's looking okay, down, down, down.
I'm going to give up now. They all look pretty good.
Remember, we didn't bother with too many things later on.
Go. That is a column break.
Page break's the same, in the same place,
but all of this will push it to the next page.
One thing we'll do just to tidy up things before we
leave is that I forgot this page here.
I'm going to click on him,
select everything on this page.
I wanted to actually be on this page here.
Just got on the wrong page.
I'm going to go to "Edit",
"Cut", so I've cut it all.
Then, I'm going to double-click on the page I wanted,
this is page 4, then I'm going to edit this one.
I could just hit "Paste" and that puts that in
the middle of this spread which is not cool.
I wanted to go to "Edit" and this one called "Paste in Place".
Nice. We'll do something slightly different later on when we do the contents page there,
but that's where I want that image.
All right, gang, that is Page Breaks and Column Breaks in InDesign.
