Starting Adobe InDesign CC

1. Choose Start > All Programs > Adobe InDesign CC 2019 (or) click on the InDesign short cut on the desktop.

2. Welcome to InDesign window will open. Now click on Create New … button.

When you create a new document, you have the opportunity to set many options in the New Document dialog box.

To set the basic options for a new document:

In the New Document dialog box, click a category tab: Print, Web, or Mobile.

Specify the following options for the selected preset:

Width and Height: Specify the size of the document.

Units: Specify the measurement unit for the document.

Orientation: Specify a page orientation for the document: Landscape or Portrait.

Pages: Specify the number of pages to create in the document.

Facing pages: If you’re creating a single-sided document—like an advertisement, poster, or handbill—leave Facing Pages turned off. Turn it on for books and magazines, which usually have both left-hand and right-hand pages.

Start#: Specify which number the document starts on. If you specify an even number (such as 2) with Facing Pages selected, the first spread in the document begins with a two-page spread.

Primary Text Frame: Select this option to add a primary text frame on the master page.

Columns: Specify the number of columns to add in the document.

Column Gutter: Specify the amount of whitespace between columns.

Margins: Specify the margins for each side of the document. To use different values for different sides, delink the dimensions by clicking the chain icon.

Bleed and Slug: Specify the position of the bleed and slug along each side of the document. To use different values for different sides, delink the dimensions by clicking the chain icon.

4. Click the Create button to open a document with the preset settings.
