You don’t have to place images into your document one at a time. If you want to see the measurements of the image being placed as you’re dragging, tap the Shift key and the percentage indicator will show you the width and height dimensions instead. As you’re dragging the Place Gun, InDesign will show you the scaling percentage of the image (as shown on the right). InDesign will create a frame with the image placed inside it sized proportionally to fill the frame. To get around this shortcoming, click and drag your loaded Place Gun on the page. However, the image will only scale to fit either the width or height of the frame, depending on the orientation of the image being placed. Holding the Shift key down while dragging the loaded Place Gun will allow you to create a frame of any shape, and scale the image inside it. However, unless you’ve already pre-sized the image, you’re likely going to have to do some resizing and cropping. This brings up a dialog box to choose your image, loads the Place Gun, then places the image at 100 percent wherever you click the loaded Place Gun on the page.

Swap to the page to which you've just applied the master to and then hold Ctrl & Shift and click on the top left placeholder. Now apply the master you've just created to any page, so you can see the image placeholders. (You'll find group on the Object Menu).ĭuplicate the group so that it fills the page, it should look sort of like:Īlmost there. Now, select and group the three items, the placeholder, white rectable and the textbox.
