2.2 Using the Paragraph Designer
Frame|aker's Paragraph 0esIgner allows you to format text throughout your
documents. You can apply separate formattIng to body text, headlInes, tables, and
footnotes. You can set Indents and spacIng, alIgnment, numberIng, word spacIng, and
table cells. Frame|aker comes wIth default formattIng for all paragraph tags.
To create your own settIngs:
1. Select the text you want to format.

2.3 Creating Naster Pages
Frame|aker documents have two kInds of pages body pages and master pages. 8ody
pages contaIn background text and graphIcs from theIr correspondIng master page text
and Images that make up the document. |aster pages contaIn page layout InformatIon
and background text for any element that repeats throughout the document, IncludIng
headers and footers.
As an example, a doublesIded document would contaIn at least two
master pages, one for left hand pages and one for rIght.
You can create a new master page or one that Is based on an exIstIng
layout.
To create a master page:
1. ClIck Z)1= 8/C#1$ >/?1 (FIgure 2.6).

2.+ Creating Custom Naster Pages
Frame|aker allows you to have 100 master pages per document, so If you need a
custom master page, for say, a chapter page, or If you want to turn page numberIng off
on certaIn pages, Frame|aker lets you do that.
To create a custom master page:
1. ClIck Z)1= 8/C#1$ >/?1C*
2. ClIck Y01()/N 4&& 8/C#1$ >/?1*
J. Enter the name of your master page In the dIalogue box (FIgure 2.9).
4. Choose whether to copy from an exIstIng master page or create a new one by
clIckIng _70#A.

2.5 Creating Headers and Footers
n Frame|aker, headers and footers are created In master pages. You can have
separate headers and footers for dIfferent parts of your document. You can also set a
varIable for InformatIon that changes from page to page, lIke page numbers or the
current date.
To create a statIc (unchangIng) header or footer:
1. ClIck Z)1= 8/C#1$ >/?1C*
2. ClIck InsIde the header or footer and add any text or graphIcs you want.
