WEBVTT X-TIMESTAMP-MAP=LOCAL:00:00:00.000,MPEGTS:0 00:00:06.950 --> 00:00:09.090 Hi there. In this video, 00:00:09.090 --> 00:00:11.310 we're going to look at tabs; and in our case, 00:00:11.310 --> 00:00:12.390 there's tabs in here, 00:00:12.390 --> 00:00:15.780 but we want them to go from this to this. 00:00:15.780 --> 00:00:18.000 We're also going to add leader dots as well. 00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:21.090 Let's go and do that now in this tutorial. 00:00:21.090 --> 00:00:23.790 To make tabs work, first thing you need to do, 00:00:23.790 --> 00:00:26.040 if you're zoomed in and you can't see the top, 00:00:26.040 --> 00:00:27.600 see this is the top of my textbook, 00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:29.265 if I can't see that, 00:00:29.265 --> 00:00:31.305 it's going to go a little bit wrong. 00:00:31.305 --> 00:00:33.420 I'm going to go up to Type, and go to Tabs. 00:00:33.420 --> 00:00:36.405 I love InDesign, I am a fan boy of InDesign. 00:00:36.405 --> 00:00:38.790 Tabs is probably the hardest thing to use in here and 00:00:38.790 --> 00:00:41.600 probably not really greatly implemented. 00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:42.950 I like the way we do it, 00:00:42.950 --> 00:00:45.660 we just ties it into this ruler on the top. 00:00:45.660 --> 00:00:47.745 But anyway, Type, hit Tabs. 00:00:47.745 --> 00:00:50.970 Because I can't see the top of that box, watch what happens. 00:00:50.970 --> 00:00:53.670 It just randomly pace in the middle of the page, 00:00:53.670 --> 00:00:55.520 and I actually connected to the Type box. 00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:58.820 You can see how I scroll up a little bit so I can see it, 00:00:58.820 --> 00:01:02.735 and you can hit this little magnetic button here and it will stick to the top. 00:01:02.735 --> 00:01:04.880 Just make sure you can see the top of the box, 00:01:04.880 --> 00:01:07.500 otherwise, it can be really troublesome. 00:01:07.500 --> 00:01:09.590 What I'd like to do is with my type tool, 00:01:09.590 --> 00:01:12.590 I'm going to highlight all of the bits that I want to work with. 00:01:12.590 --> 00:01:15.200 Now there is actually a tab in between these, 00:01:15.200 --> 00:01:19.045 that's what the table of contents does for us. 00:01:19.045 --> 00:01:21.540 You can see it's lining up, 00:01:21.540 --> 00:01:24.360 but there is not enough room, so we want to put the tab way out here. 00:01:24.360 --> 00:01:25.835 I've highlighted it all, 00:01:25.835 --> 00:01:28.520 I've gone to my magnetic buttons so it lines up, 00:01:28.520 --> 00:01:32.660 and all you need to do is click in this slightly lighter gray area, 00:01:32.660 --> 00:01:34.490 it's a little bit difficult to explain, 00:01:34.490 --> 00:01:36.800 but you can see with my arrow is wiggling back and forth. 00:01:36.800 --> 00:01:38.395 I want to click in there once, 00:01:38.395 --> 00:01:40.185 and you can see they all align up. 00:01:40.185 --> 00:01:41.670 You can move it around, 00:01:41.670 --> 00:01:44.400 click and drag it a little bit if it's not in the right place. 00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:47.280 One thing you might find is you accidentally, 00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:48.890 if you don't click in exactly on 00:01:48.890 --> 00:01:52.805 that tiny little blue arrow and you click just here, you can see you get two of them. 00:01:52.805 --> 00:01:54.800 You end up playing around with two of them, 00:01:54.800 --> 00:01:55.970 and if you want to get rid of one, 00:01:55.970 --> 00:01:57.950 just click on it, hit Delete on your keyboard. 00:01:57.950 --> 00:02:00.360 Don't do that. Click, hold, 00:02:00.360 --> 00:02:03.045 and drag it off, and it will disappear. 00:02:03.045 --> 00:02:05.100 The next thing we need to do is, 00:02:05.100 --> 00:02:08.214 I want to mess around with say the, 00:02:08.214 --> 00:02:10.540 it's a little bit hard because these numbers are so far away, 00:02:10.540 --> 00:02:11.760 I want to add some dots, well, 00:02:11.760 --> 00:02:14.015 like we saw at the beginning of this video. 00:02:14.015 --> 00:02:15.380 They're called leader dots. 00:02:15.380 --> 00:02:18.950 What you do is, you highlight all of our texts like we have, 00:02:18.950 --> 00:02:23.510 you need to make sure that the tab you're working with is highlighted. Mine is not. 00:02:23.510 --> 00:02:25.450 Click on this, it goes blue. 00:02:25.450 --> 00:02:27.405 Then where it says, Leader, 00:02:27.405 --> 00:02:29.955 you put in a full stop or a period, 00:02:29.955 --> 00:02:32.355 hit Enter, and you've got these leader dots that 00:02:32.355 --> 00:02:35.390 rush across the page to join up the number. 00:02:35.390 --> 00:02:36.680 You can have other things, 00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:38.285 I can put an underscore. 00:02:38.285 --> 00:02:44.600 Now I find this a little bit troublesome on the Pro and I still can't make it work. 00:02:44.600 --> 00:02:47.900 Now I think this might be just my version, I hope it is. 00:02:47.900 --> 00:02:52.185 I'm hoping you just delete this period and type in an underscore. 00:02:52.185 --> 00:02:53.340 What's happening for me is, 00:02:53.340 --> 00:02:55.905 it's deleting all my text. Why is that happening? 00:02:55.905 --> 00:02:57.105 I'm not quite sure. 00:02:57.105 --> 00:02:59.810 I've played around with this a couple of times and it's still doing it, 00:02:59.810 --> 00:03:02.240 I'm sure with the next fix it'll be fine. 00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:05.000 Let's try it one more time, I'm going to close down the tabs. 00:03:05.000 --> 00:03:08.210 I'm leaving this in here because the head tabs are a little bit fiddly, 00:03:08.210 --> 00:03:09.590 and at the moment they're are extra fiddly. 00:03:09.590 --> 00:03:11.540 If you're finding them quite troublesome, 00:03:11.540 --> 00:03:13.950 it's not you, it's InDesign. 00:03:13.950 --> 00:03:16.125 Type, Tabs, back open. 00:03:16.125 --> 00:03:18.720 Click on that right there. 00:03:18.720 --> 00:03:21.150 Just select them all again, grab you, 00:03:21.150 --> 00:03:22.905 make sure he's selected, 00:03:22.905 --> 00:03:25.020 go to Leader; I'm going to change it for an underscore, 00:03:25.020 --> 00:03:26.220 hit return, and it's working. 00:03:26.220 --> 00:03:28.275 [inaudible] have close it, go back in. 00:03:28.275 --> 00:03:31.620 I've used an underscore, so you can see just a line joining them all. 00:03:31.620 --> 00:03:33.425 It's up to you, what you'd like to do. 00:03:33.425 --> 00:03:36.900 I'm going to select them all, turn them back into a leader dot, 00:03:37.730 --> 00:03:39.940 and it worked, perfect. 00:03:39.940 --> 00:03:41.085 You can actually have anything, 00:03:41.085 --> 00:03:42.755 like [inaudible] I'm not going to do it. 00:03:42.755 --> 00:03:44.765 You can type in anything there of course. 00:03:44.765 --> 00:03:48.910 Underscores, hyphens, anything you want to join those up. 00:03:48.910 --> 00:03:52.215 Last thing to do before we leave tabs, close this guy down, 00:03:52.215 --> 00:03:55.670 is we've actually changed the paragraph style here. 00:03:55.670 --> 00:03:57.230 I know we haven't changed the font, 00:03:57.230 --> 00:03:59.630 but we've added these leader dots and we've played with tabs 00:03:59.630 --> 00:04:02.135 and they're all included in the paragraph style. 00:04:02.135 --> 00:04:03.980 Like in the last video we looked at, 00:04:03.980 --> 00:04:07.425 whenever you change it, you need to update the, TOC Body. 00:04:07.425 --> 00:04:09.000 Let's go and open up window. 00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:12.165 Let's go and open up Styles, Paragraph Styles, 00:04:12.165 --> 00:04:17.745 and what we'll do is highlight it all, right-click TOC. 00:04:17.745 --> 00:04:21.015 You got to right-click it and go to Redefine Style. 00:04:21.015 --> 00:04:23.375 That means that if I update my table of contents, 00:04:23.375 --> 00:04:26.180 it's going to add these leader dots back in and the tab. 00:04:26.180 --> 00:04:28.645 Otherwise, it will reset back to where it was on the left. 00:04:28.645 --> 00:04:31.220 All right, that's going to be us for tabs.
