Premier exemple de Mise en page
 |
Cette mise en page a été destinée à une vente de plantes de charité. Apprenez ces techniques et vous pourrez les utiliser dans de nombreuses occasions. Vous pouvez enregistrer et ré-utiliser ces images pour votre usage. Cliquez sur les vignettes et vous obtiendrez l'image en pleine taille. |
Dans cette leçon, vous
- ajouterez des boîtes de texte et ajusterez leur taille et position
- formaterez du texte
- ajouterez des illustrations
- ajusterez leur taille et position
Lancez KWord et sélectionnez le modèle . vous obtenez une page blanche de la taille la plus répandue pour votre région géographique - habituellement A4 ou Lettre. En utilisant le menu , sélectionnez . Pour ce projet, j'ai utilisé A4, mais il n'y aurait pas beaucoup de modifications à faire pour l'utiliser sur une page Lettre.
Dans ce type de mise en page, vous avez besoin de marges généreuse, aussi configurez la mage haute à 25 mm et celles des trois autres côtés à 20 mm. Si vous utilisez le format Imperial, ajustez les marges à 1" en haut et 3/4" sur les autres côtés.
Dans la boîte à outils de droite, sous , cliquez sur l'outil 
et tracez une boîte de marge à marge et de 3 cm de haut (environ 1.25") - vous pouvez voir la position de votre curseur sur la règle de gauche. vous obtenez une boîte colorée mais il s'agit juste d'un marqueur. Une boîte de dialogue apparaît. Cela deviendra notre notre en-tête, aussi vous pouvez modifier le nom si vous le souhaitez, mais vous pas besoin de changer autre chose. Cliquer sur et la boîte Texte se remplit avec un texte modèlea. Maintenant cliquez sur l' 
- le texte modèle disparaît et vous pouvez ajouter votre texte d'en-tête. I used URW Chancery L, 48pt for the title and 24pt for the subheading. Highlight both lines of text and click on 
to centre it. Font, size, centering, and other text attributes can be set in the tab of the docker. If you do not see this docker in the lower right part of the window, you can bring it up by selecting the menu item or pressing Ctrl + H.
Create another text box, margin to margin, and 1.5cm deep, and add the sub-text:
This plant gets its unfortunate name because many people think that the flowers develop a strong smell if taken into a warm room
While a box is selected, hovering over it produces a cross-arrow cursor. You can use this for large movements of the box. We will later use to make fine adjustments.
That's the heading all sorted. Now we need to look at illustrating our page. Many cameras use a 4:3 format, so we will use Image frames that are 8cm x 6 cm.

Using the tool  create your first box touching the left-hand margin, just below your text box. Drag it as close as you can to the desired size - it can be tweaked later. Like the text box it creates a coloured box, then it opens a dialog for you to point it to the desired picture. We will select Hellebore1.jpg for this picture.

Repeat the process, creating this image box immediately below, and just touching the bottom margin. Select the file Hellebore3.jpg. |
| The third image box should be the same size, touching the right margin, and positioned vertically as close as you can to half-way between the other two. Select the file Hellebore2.jpg |  |
To resize the image grab one of the small squares at the edge of the image - the marker becomes a pair of small arrows pointing up/down, left/right or diagonally depending on which square you use - and drag it to the desired size. To reposition the image grab it anywhere - the marker becomes a four small arrows pointing up/down/right/left - and drag it to the desired position
Now we need to tweak the position, to get them exactly where we want them. First, make sure you are using the 
Look at the image frame that is best aligned to the left margin - select that frame by clicking on it, right-click and select . On the tab you can see position and size. If your is 20mm, set to 2cm. Correct the to 8cm and to 6cm.
Repeat these settings on the other left-hand image, so that they are perfectly aligned. For the right-hand image, set the and to match the others. Setting to 11cm should line it up nicely.
Now we turn our attention to adding the descriptive text boxes.
Select the , and draw a box approximately 6cm wide and 3 cm deeps, in the center of the space to the right of your first picture. Into that paste the text:
Flowering Season: Late winter, typically starting February and lasting for several weeks.
You will see the text automatically wrap to the box. Right-click to get the , and adjust the width until the wrap gives you reasonably balanced lines.
The second text box is created and adjusted in the same way, using the text:
Description: Very dark green, deeply divided palm-like leaves below bright acid-green flowers which are often burgundy-tipped.
The final text box uses the words:
Habitat: Prefers to be out of strong sunlight. Thrives under trees where the bright flowers add a welcome glow.
Again, adjust the width on the tab of the . You now need to check the setting for the two text boxes Flowering Season and Habitat, making sure that they are identical. The width is less important, but a badly-aligned box is very noticeable. The middle box doesn't have anything to line up with, so just adjust until it looks central in the space.
Just one task left. Return to the heading and sub-heading banners and use the to ensure that they start and end on the margins.
That's all there is to it. If you were doing an advertising flyer you could have a smaller-text banner across the bottom with your contact details.
In the next tutorial you will use your own images and text, and we will explore text-flow, both around shapes and between boxes.
