What are the parts of adobe pagemaker?

Answer 1

Document Layout and Pasteboard
   1. PageMaker layout
      PageMaker layout
      The largest part of the Adobe PageMaker screen is the document layout and pasteboard area. This area is where the text and graphics of a document are put together to form a page. The page is shown as a white rectangle with a black outline. A smaller rectangle with a blue outline inside the page indicates the margins. If the page orientation is changed from portrait (8.5 by 11 inches) to landscape (11 by 8.5 inches), the layout rectangle changes as well to give an accurate view of how the document will print. The area outside the page rectangle is known as the pasteboard. The user can place layout objects containing text and graphics here while deciding where to position them on the page. Only objects placed within the margin lines will be printed.
      Toolbox
   2. PageMaker toolbox

      The toolbox is a floating box that contains tools used to create and edit objects on the PageMaker screen. The user can grab this box by the bar at the top and drag it to any position on the screen. The tools include a pointer tool for selecting objects, a text tool for adding text to the page, a rotating tool to turn objects, line tools for straight or angled lines, shape tools for circles and polygons, a crop tool for trimming images and a zoom tool for magnifying the screen.
      Page Icons

      A PageMaker document can have multiple pages. Each time a new page is added, a thumbnail icon appears at the bottom left of the screen. The user moves from page to page by clicking on the corresponding icon. The icons will also show if the document pages are facing pages or single pages. The L and R icons represent the "Master Pages." Master pages can be use to can add elements that appear on all the pages such as headers, footers and page numbers.

      Rulers appear at the top and left side of the PageMaker screen, which help the user line up objects on the layout. If multiple columns are used on the page, vertical column guides will appear. Individual guide lines can be added manually for more precise layouts to ensure objects are aligned.
      Colors and Styles Palettes
   5. PageMaker palettes

      The colors and styles palettes are in a floating box like the toolbox. They are used to add, delete or adjust colors and styles used in the PageMaker document. The palettes can be separated by dragging the tab for an individual palette outside the box and letting go. Colors and styles automatically show up when a new PageMaker document is started, but additional palettes can be added to the screen by choosing them from the Window menu. Other palettes include Layers, Master Pages and Hyperlinks.
      Control Palette
   6. Control palette
      Control palette
      The control palette is located at the bottom of the screen by default but can also be dragged to any position on the screen. This palette contains the properties that affect a selected object on the layout. For example, if a piece of text is selected, the commands in this palette will include text properties such as bold, italics, underline, font and font size. If a graphic is selected, the items in the control palette include height, width and rotation angle.
