Creating a Template (Part I): The Basics
The natural tendency of most users of word processing applications is to create a document and use it as a model for future documents. That is, you format a letter the way you want all (or most) of your letters to look, save it, and then, when you want to write a letter, open this document and save it under another name as the starting point for your letter. In WordPerfect, until recently, this was the only way to create a template. Word uses a different approach.

Starting with a scan is honestly not the very best. The new forms designer from Amgraf is a power tool and gives you many good features. If you have to edit the base scan, your best bet is indeed to recreate it. You might try Adobe Illustrator, or Deneba's Canvas 8 helping you. Another possibility might be OmniForm by ScanSoft. You also might look at the new tool from Adobe's Capture suite, also known as Tea Party, which might help a bit as well.

Cropping Pages to Highlight Areas in Acrobat
When you receive a PDF that contains, say, an image that is surrounded by text, how do you highlight the image? One way is to export the graphic to an imaging application such as Photoshop, but that involves additional applications and the associated loading times. A great 'quick and dirty' fix here is to use the 'Crop' tool to hide the content that surrounds the image, leaving you with PDF which displays only an image, just the way you wanted it. This tip explains how.

We recently converted our documents from Word to FrameMaker. Most of the people in my department had been using Word for years and had grown accustomed to applying character formatting using key commands or buttons on the toolbar. I was afraid that they would use the same methods in FrameMaker simply out of habit, rather than using character tags.

When you're working with complex data, a table may be your best option. Often, a logical series of rows and col-umns can communicate more clearly than paragraphs.

Here we show you how you can make an easy-to-read table while using the graphical power of InDesign to integrate it into the style of your document.
