Overview of Pages

In the following example, you can see the page layout includes two columns at the

top, two layout breaks, and then three columns, an inline image, and the footer area.

Placeholder Text

Placeholder text indicates where text goes and how it’s formatted in a template. A

new template will contain placeholder text, placeholder images, background images,

or other items that represent elements of the finished document. If you click the

placeholder text, the entire text area is selected. When you begin typing, the

placeholder text disappears and is replaced by what you type.

Image Placeholders

Similar to placeholder text, image placeholders are intended to indicate the size and

placement of graphics in a template. If you click one, selection handles appear. Drag

your own image to the placeholder to replace it.

Master Objects

Some objects appear on every page of a document as the document grows. These

objects are called “master objects.” If you cannot select an object in a template, it’s

probably a master object. To learn more, see “Adding a Repeated Background Image”

on page 101.
