CHAPTER

PAGE LAYOUT & TYPOGRAPHY
Canvas contains all the text editing features that you will need to cre-
ate a professional-level page layout project. The publication environ-
ment of Canvas provides the comfortable familiarity of a word
processor. Auto Correct, an interactive spell checker, text ruler and
complete control of document and paragraph formatting are all easily
accessed via readily accessable dialog boxes. Your Canvas document
can be enhanced with custom multiple column sections, master pages
and shared layers. Also images that are placed inside a Canvas docu-
ment may be set to repel text so that it smoothly flows around placed
objects which create a visually appealing page design.
Creating a brochure
This tutorial is designed to teach you how to create a brochure using
page layout and typography features. You will be working with a
Publication document.
In this tutorial, you will learn about master pages, creating headers
and footers, placing a graphic, column sections and guides, and print-
ing the publication.
In the Canvas tutorial folder, open the file named Brochure.cnv.

selected in the Document Setup dialog box. You can also set docu-
ment units, paper size, paper orientation, sheet layout, and margins in
this dialog box. For the purpose of this lesson, make sure the docu-
ment has the following settings.
