Using the Design Gallery

Publications often include special elements not typically found in ordinary business documents. For example, a new product brochure might include a coupon. A flyer might need phone number tear-off tabs along the bottom. A newsletter might need a masthead with certain information or a volunteer sign-up form.

Building these types of elements from scratch by layering graphics, text boxes, and borders could be time consuming, but you don’t have to bother. Instead, you can add any of a number of predesigned items from the Design Gallery to your publication and then customize the item with your own text.
Follow these steps to add a Design Gallery object to a publication:

  1. Display the page in the publication on which you’d like to insert the Design Gallery object. Clicking a page icon in the status bar takes you there.
  2. Click the Design Gallery Object button on the Objects toolbar, or select Insert?Design Gallery Object. The Design Gallery window opens.
  3. Click a choice in the list of categories at the left. The available objects in that category appear in the preview area in the center of the dialog box, as shown in Figure 32-9. If needed, drag the zoom slider at the bottom of the window to increase the preview size so that you can see more object details.
  4. Click the desired object.
  5. Choose any Options to adjust the object from the Options pane at the right if it appears. For example, Figure 32-9 shows that you can change the amount of text and graphics as well as the border style for a coupon Design Gallery object.
  6. Click Insert Object. The object appears on the publication page, where you can move and resize it, and update it with your own text if required. Figure 32-10 shows an example coupon Design Gallery Object.
