The Key to Unlocking Fast

You’ve gotten a new account and your first assignment is to make some revisions to an existing brochure. You immediately realize that some of the design elements on various spreads are Locked (Object > Lock Position) so that they can be selected but not moved. Without selecting the objects, one at a time to see what’s locked on each spread and what isn’t, is there a way to unlock all objects to save time? In trying to find a simple solution, you select all the objects on the front cover – Command + A (Control + A on PC). You look under the Object menu and find the key to unlocking your locked object problem. Both the “Lock Position” and “Unlock Position” Commands are available at the same time because some objects are locked and some are not. How convenient! You select “Unlock Position” and all locked objects are now unlocked. Problem solved! If you've any question, problem, suggestion and feedback than please comment below. Have a nice day!

Wraps Gone Wild!

You apply Wraps to some images and select them, one at a time, with your selection tool and move each into position in your columns of type. All is Wrapping beautifully until you move the last image into position. The type Wraps this last picture Frame very oddly with lots of extra space in all directions. What’s up with this wild Wrap behavior. Nothing! You were interrupted by a phone call before applying that last Wrap and inadvertently selected the image with the Direct Selection tool. So the Wrap Offsets were applied to the image itself instead of the Frame containing the image. Because of this, the Type Wraps the whole image, even the parts that are cropped away by the Frame. To fix the problem, select the image with the Direct Selection tool and click the No Text Wrap button in the Wrap palette. Then re-select the picture Frame with the Selection tool and apply your Wrap Offsets to the Frame. If you've any question, problem, suggestion and feedback than please comme
