1. Start with a document in which each line consists of a small image (such as a graphical bullet or an icon) followed by text.
The goal is to set the images off from the text and from the other images above and below them.
2. Open the Property inspector (Window > Properties), if it isn’t already open.
3. Select the first image.
4. In the Property inspector, enter numbers in the V Space and H Space boxes to set the image’s spacing.
5. Click the image again to make the Document window active without moving the insertion point.
6. Press the Left Arrow key to move the insertion point to the left of the image.
7. Press the Down Arrow key to move the insertion point down one line, leaving it just to the left of the second image in the series.
8. Press Shift+Right Arrow to select the second image.
Note: Do not select the image by clicking it, or you won’t be able to replay all the steps.
9. In the History panel, select the steps that correspond to changing the image’s spacing and selecting the next image. Click Replay to replay
those steps.
The current image’s spacing changes, and the next image is selected.
10. Continue to click Replay until all the images are spaced correctly.
Copy and paste steps between documents
Each open document has its own history of steps. You can copy steps from one document and paste them into another.
Closing a document clears its history. If you know you will want to use steps from a document later, copy or save the steps before you close the
document.
1. In the document containing the steps you want to reuse, select the steps in the History panel.
2. Click Copy Steps in the History panel
.
Note: The Copy Steps button in the History panel is different from the Copy command in the Edit menu. You can’t use Edit > Copy to copy
steps, although you do use Edit > Paste to paste them.
Be careful when you copy steps that include a Copy or a Paste command:
Don’t use Copy Steps if one of the steps is a Copy command; you may not be able to paste such steps the way you want.
If your steps include a Paste command, you can’t paste those steps, unless the steps also include a Copy command before the Paste
command.
3. Open the other document.
4. Place the insertion point where you want it, or select an object to apply the steps to.
5. Select Edit > Paste.
The steps are played back as they’re pasted into the document’s History panel. The History panel shows them as only one step, called
Paste Steps.
