00:00:00.05 --> 00:00:01.03
- [Instructor] In this movie,

2
00:00:01.03 --> 00:00:04.01
we're going to introduce the
scarecrow into our document,

3
00:00:04.01 --> 00:00:06.00
and then we're going
to give him a caption,

4
00:00:06.00 --> 00:00:07.06
we're going to format that caption

5
00:00:07.06 --> 00:00:10.04
using our new paragraph
style, and then in the end,

6
00:00:10.04 --> 00:00:13.01
I'll show you how to
redefine a paragraph style,

7
00:00:13.01 --> 00:00:16.04
and watch both captions update in kind.

8
00:00:16.04 --> 00:00:19.02
All right, so the first step
is to retrieve the scarecrow

9
00:00:19.02 --> 00:00:21.09
from the document that contains
both of our characters.

10
00:00:21.09 --> 00:00:24.08
And now, I'll go ahead and
click on the scarecrow layer

11
00:00:24.08 --> 00:00:27.01
down here at the bottom
of the layers panel,

12
00:00:27.01 --> 00:00:30.01
and I'll select the contents
of that layer by clicking

13
00:00:30.01 --> 00:00:33.00
on this triangle in
the upper right corner,

14
00:00:33.00 --> 00:00:34.02
and that will go ahead

15
00:00:34.02 --> 00:00:37.09
and select every path outline
associated with that creature.

16
00:00:37.09 --> 00:00:39.04
Next I'll go up to the edit menu

17
00:00:39.04 --> 00:00:41.01
and choose the copy command,

18
00:00:41.01 --> 00:00:44.03
or I can press ctrl+c or cmd+c on the Mac,

19
00:00:44.03 --> 00:00:46.09
and then I'll go ahead and
switch over to our document

20
00:00:46.09 --> 00:00:50.02
in progress, and I'll advance
to the third art board

21
00:00:50.02 --> 00:00:52.06
by clicking on the last icon down here

22
00:00:52.06 --> 00:00:55.01
in the lower left corner of the screen.

23
00:00:55.01 --> 00:00:57.05
All right, now I'll go over
here to the layers panel,

24
00:00:57.05 --> 00:00:59.03
I'll click on the fly out menu icon,

25
00:00:59.03 --> 00:01:00.01
and I'll make sure

26
00:01:00.01 --> 00:01:03.01
that paste remembers
layers is still turned on.

27
00:01:03.01 --> 00:01:05.04
At which point, I'll just
go up to the edit menu

28
00:01:05.04 --> 00:01:09.03
and choose the paste command,
or I can press ctrl+v or cmd+v

29
00:01:09.03 --> 00:01:13.01
on the Mac in order to paste
my scarecrow into place.

30
00:01:13.01 --> 00:01:15.01
Now, if you're working along with me,

31
00:01:15.01 --> 00:01:17.08
you have to be very careful
not to select the text,

32
00:01:17.08 --> 00:01:19.01
because if you do,

33
00:01:19.01 --> 00:01:20.09
you'll end up with a
big mess on your hands,

34
00:01:20.09 --> 00:01:23.03
and you'll have to undo and try again.

35
00:01:23.03 --> 00:01:25.09
So what I'm going to do is
drag on this hand right here,

36
00:01:25.09 --> 00:01:27.09
because it seems to be out
of the way of the text,

37
00:01:27.09 --> 00:01:31.03
in order to move him over
to the right like so,

38
00:01:31.03 --> 00:01:33.03
and I want to more or
less center him inside

39
00:01:33.03 --> 00:01:34.06
of this right column,

40
00:01:34.06 --> 00:01:37.02
and I might press the
up arrow key a few times

41
00:01:37.02 --> 00:01:39.06
in order to nudge him upward as well.

42
00:01:39.06 --> 00:01:41.08
And then once I've got
him in the right location,

43
00:01:41.08 --> 00:01:44.04
I'll go ahead and move
that layer down the stack

44
00:01:44.04 --> 00:01:47.02
to let's say right
below the Tin Man layer,

45
00:01:47.02 --> 00:01:50.00
and then to prevent
any harm from occurring

46
00:01:50.00 --> 00:01:52.05
to the scarecrow, I'll go
ahead and lock that layer

47
00:01:52.05 --> 00:01:55.02
by clicking in this second column here

48
00:01:55.02 --> 00:01:56.08
inside the layers panel.

49
00:01:56.08 --> 00:01:57.09
All right, now we have to go back

50
00:01:57.09 --> 00:01:59.06
and retrieve the Tin Man's caption,

51
00:01:59.06 --> 00:02:01.02
and I'm going to do that by clicking

52
00:02:01.02 --> 00:02:03.01
in the first icon down here

53
00:02:03.01 --> 00:02:05.01
in the bottom left corner of the screen,

54
00:02:05.01 --> 00:02:06.04
and then I'll click on that caption

55
00:02:06.04 --> 00:02:08.05
with the black arrow tool to select it,

56
00:02:08.05 --> 00:02:12.03
and I'll press ctrl+c or
cmd+c on the Mac to copy it,

57
00:02:12.03 --> 00:02:15.01
and now I'll once again
click on the last icon

58
00:02:15.01 --> 00:02:17.03
in the lower left corner
of the screen to switch

59
00:02:17.03 --> 00:02:21.01
to the third art board, and
I'll press ctrl+f or cmd+f

60
00:02:21.01 --> 00:02:24.07
on the Mac in order to
paste that caption in front.

61
00:02:24.07 --> 00:02:27.01
Now based on experience, I
know that this frame needs

62
00:02:27.01 --> 00:02:29.06
to be a little bit taller,
and so I'm going to go up

63
00:02:29.06 --> 00:02:33.03
to the type menu and choose
the area type options command,

64
00:02:33.03 --> 00:02:37.02
and then I'll change the
height value to 70 like so,

65
00:02:37.02 --> 00:02:38.07
and I'll click ok.

66
00:02:38.07 --> 00:02:41.00
And that'll give me a
little extra room to work.

67
00:02:41.00 --> 00:02:43.08
At which point, I'll go
ahead and drag that frame up

68
00:02:43.08 --> 00:02:46.07
so that it snaps into alignment
with the bottom right corner

69
00:02:46.07 --> 00:02:48.04
of the margin guides.

70
00:02:48.04 --> 00:02:50.06
All right, now we need to
go hunting for a pull quote,

71
00:02:50.06 --> 00:02:53.08
which happens to be on the
first art board once again.

72
00:02:53.08 --> 00:02:56.05
So if you're working along with
me, click on the first icon

73
00:02:56.05 --> 00:02:58.06
in the bottom left corner of the screen,

74
00:02:58.06 --> 00:03:00.05
and then notice this fifth paragraph,

75
00:03:00.05 --> 00:03:01.05
the one that begins with,

76
00:03:01.05 --> 00:03:04.05
"It must be inconvenient
to be made of flesh."

77
00:03:04.05 --> 00:03:07.06
Go ahead and double click inside
of that in order to switch

78
00:03:07.06 --> 00:03:11.06
to the type tool, and now I'm
going to very carefully select

79
00:03:11.06 --> 00:03:14.06
all of that paragraph from quote to quote

80
00:03:14.06 --> 00:03:17.02
as we're seeing here, and
I'm not triple clicking,

81
00:03:17.02 --> 00:03:18.00
by the way,

82
00:03:18.00 --> 00:03:20.05
because I don't want to
select the paragraph return.

83
00:03:20.05 --> 00:03:22.08
I just want to select the text.

84
00:03:22.08 --> 00:03:25.03
And now I'll press ctrl+c
or cmd+c on the Mac

85
00:03:25.03 --> 00:03:26.09
to copy that text.

86
00:03:26.09 --> 00:03:28.07
All right, now I'll press
the escape key in order

87
00:03:28.07 --> 00:03:31.03
to exit the text entry
mode, and I'll click

88
00:03:31.03 --> 00:03:33.08
on the last icon down here
in the bottom left corner

89
00:03:33.08 --> 00:03:36.06
of the screen to advance
to the third art board,

90
00:03:36.06 --> 00:03:39.00
and then I'll double
click inside this caption.

91
00:03:39.00 --> 00:03:42.02
I'll select this text once
again by dragging over it

92
00:03:42.02 --> 00:03:46.00
and I'll press ctrl+v or
cmd+v on the Mac in order

93
00:03:46.00 --> 00:03:48.04
to paste that text like so.

94
00:03:48.04 --> 00:03:51.08
And I am ctrl+spacebar
or cmd+spacebar clicking

95
00:03:51.08 --> 00:03:54.01
to zoom in here, even
though I have active text,

96
00:03:54.01 --> 00:03:55.02
that is possible.

97
00:03:55.02 --> 00:03:56.03
But I want you to notice

98
00:03:56.03 --> 00:03:58.08
that even though I was so careful not

99
00:03:58.08 --> 00:04:01.08
to select a paragraph
return and to copy one group

100
00:04:01.08 --> 00:04:03.06
of letters into another,

101
00:04:03.06 --> 00:04:06.04
I have still brought over the
old formatting attributes.

102
00:04:06.04 --> 00:04:07.08
And that's why it's so wonderful

103
00:04:07.08 --> 00:04:10.00
that I have that paragraph style.

104
00:04:10.00 --> 00:04:11.07
All right, I'm going to
make a couple of edits here.

105
00:04:11.07 --> 00:04:14.07
I'm going to go ahead and
select this text right there

106
00:04:14.07 --> 00:04:17.05
and delete it, and now I'll click in front

107
00:04:17.05 --> 00:04:20.02
of the word however and
add a quote like so.

108
00:04:20.02 --> 00:04:21.07
So we're just tidying up this quote

109
00:04:21.07 --> 00:04:23.02
so it works as a caption,

110
00:04:23.02 --> 00:04:25.06
and now I'll press the escape key in order

111
00:04:25.06 --> 00:04:27.03
to accept that change.

112
00:04:27.03 --> 00:04:30.01
All right, now we need to
apply that paragraph style

113
00:04:30.01 --> 00:04:33.01
by once again going up to the
window menu, choosing type,

114
00:04:33.01 --> 00:04:35.08
and then choosing paragraph styles,

115
00:04:35.08 --> 00:04:38.08
which will bring up the paragraph
styles panel right here.

116
00:04:38.08 --> 00:04:41.07
Now, by all rights, all you
should have to do is click

117
00:04:41.07 --> 00:04:44.04
on the caption style in order to apply it,

118
00:04:44.04 --> 00:04:47.02
but notice we get that little
plus sign which tells us

119
00:04:47.02 --> 00:04:50.05
that we have local overrides,
which is fairly obvious given

120
00:04:50.05 --> 00:04:52.04
that nothing really changed.

121
00:04:52.04 --> 00:04:55.01
And so to eliminate those local overrides,

122
00:04:55.01 --> 00:04:57.01
go ahead and press the
alt key or the option key

123
00:04:57.01 --> 00:05:00.03
on the Mac and click on
caption again in order

124
00:05:00.03 --> 00:05:04.05
to get rid of the plus sign
and properly style that text.

125
00:05:04.05 --> 00:05:06.02
All right, now let's say at this point,

126
00:05:06.02 --> 00:05:09.01
or even a few hours later, you decide

127
00:05:09.01 --> 00:05:11.03
that the captions really
oughtn't to be blue.

128
00:05:11.03 --> 00:05:12.08
They ought to be red.

129
00:05:12.08 --> 00:05:15.05
In that case, you can redefine the style,

130
00:05:15.05 --> 00:05:17.03
and here's the easiest way to do that.

131
00:05:17.03 --> 00:05:19.08
Go ahead and double click
inside the text once again

132
00:05:19.08 --> 00:05:21.06
to switch to the type tool,

133
00:05:21.06 --> 00:05:24.00
and then double click
on a word to select it.

134
00:05:24.00 --> 00:05:27.06
And now I'll assign a new
color by this time going up

135
00:05:27.06 --> 00:05:30.02
to the first swatch up
here in the control panel

136
00:05:30.02 --> 00:05:33.01
and I'll click on it to
bring up this swatches panel,

137
00:05:33.01 --> 00:05:35.05
and then I'll assign
that dark shade of red,

138
00:05:35.05 --> 00:05:39.07
which is R193, G39, B45,

139
00:05:39.07 --> 00:05:44.01
and we end up with this red
text as we can see right here.

140
00:05:44.01 --> 00:05:45.03
And it's easier to see, of course,

141
00:05:45.03 --> 00:05:47.06
when I click off the text like so.

142
00:05:47.06 --> 00:05:50.08
All right, now you want to go
ahead and select that text,

143
00:05:50.08 --> 00:05:53.05
and you don't have to select
the entire word, by the way,

144
00:05:53.05 --> 00:05:55.05
you can just select a few characters,

145
00:05:55.05 --> 00:05:57.09
but make sure that you're
selecting just the red text,

146
00:05:57.09 --> 00:05:59.01
none of the blue.

147
00:05:59.01 --> 00:06:01.08
And then return to this
paragraph styles panel,

148
00:06:01.08 --> 00:06:03.08
click on its fly out menu icon,

149
00:06:03.08 --> 00:06:06.07
and choose redefine paragraph style,

150
00:06:06.07 --> 00:06:10.02
and that will go ahead and
update all the text to red.

151
00:06:10.02 --> 00:06:13.06
And not only will you update
this caption, by the way,

152
00:06:13.06 --> 00:06:15.09
but if I drop down to
these navigation icons

153
00:06:15.09 --> 00:06:19.07
in the bottom left corner of
the window and click on first,

154
00:06:19.07 --> 00:06:22.08
you can see that I've updated
the other caption as well,

155
00:06:22.08 --> 00:06:26.04
because it's linked to
that same paragraph style.

156
00:06:26.04 --> 00:06:28.02
All right, and now I'm going
to go ahead and zoom in

157
00:06:28.02 --> 00:06:31.01
on this page, and I'll turn
off the guides as well,

158
00:06:31.01 --> 00:06:35.02
because, folks, we are finally
done with this document.

159
00:06:35.02 --> 00:06:37.07
And that's how you save a
bunch of formatting attributes

160
00:06:37.07 --> 00:06:40.07
as a paragraph style,
apply that paragraph style

161
00:06:40.07 --> 00:06:44.04
to other text objects, and
redefine that paragraph style

162
00:06:44.04 --> 00:06:48.01
any time you like here inside Illustrator.
