Locking items Select the Locked option to prevent changes to a page’s layers, to individual layers, or to individual objects. Password protection You can select the Password option when Locked is selected. When the Password option is used, the assigned password must be entered to unlock or change the page. To assign a password, select the Password option and type at least three charac- ters in the text box. After you click OK, enter the password in the confirmation dialog box that appears and click OK. Note: A locked page can be changed in some ways. If a master page is visible, changes to the master page will appear on the locked page. Also, a locked page does not prevent a document from being deleted. If a locked page is copied, the copy is also locked. Hiding items The Visible option can be changed only in the Document Layout pal- ette list. In options dialog boxes, the Visible option is not available because a current item can’t be hidden. Layer colors Grayed Select Grayed to make solid color inks of objects on the layer appear to be grayed (desaturated). Select Color Override to apply a color to a layer. Select White Fill to apply a white fill ink to vector objects and text objects on a layer that has a color override. When you apply a color override to a layer, you temporarily assign a color to vector and text objects on the layers you specify. A color override does not affect paint objects. When you turn off the Color Override option, all affected objects revert to their original colors. The White Fill option lets you control how override colors appear on vector objects. This option doesn’t change the way override colors appear on text. When White Fill is selected, Canvas applies the override color to the pen ink of vector objects and applies white as the fill ink color. In other words, the override color becomes the color of the stroke of vector objects, while the inside of the object remains white. When White Fill is not selected, Canvas applies the override color as both pen and fill inks.
