Follow
these steps, keyed to the illustration to the right, to create
a color box around the picture.
A. Click on the rectangle tool. Boxes around photos should
be set at hairline width or 0.25 points in the Rectangle
Tool's control window.
B. With the picture still highlighted, click on the
Stroke icon to activate it.
C. Click on the Apply Colour button, which should
already show our Pantone colour. (If it does not, select the
Colours window and click on Pantone 660 to bring it
into the Tool Box.)
The Fill
icon should be behind the Stroke icon (B.) and have
a red diagonal line through it. If it does not, click on the
Apply None button, third in the line with the Apply
Colour button (C.).
InDesign will
automatically put a box around the highlighted picture. SAVE.
Later, you
will want a box for your index and masthead, where there are
no pictures already highlighted. You can draw a box with the
Rectangle Tool, in much the same way as you use the Text tool
to draw a text box. Its crosshairs are the drawing point.
