The basic menu text alignment

I redesigned the menu bar to the restaurant I work as an accountant. I have a knowledge base of InDesign (CS2 worm) and now that I'm trying to set up the final draft for the menu, I fight with perfect spacing that I made previously as a draft simply using Visual guidelines. I'll not be myself the impression these on my printer (only 25 copies) so no worried of commercial printing. I'll attach a file of the layout and hope it works.


My goal is to have uniform spacing between the name of the element Script fonts and the description of the object police Minion and the spacing between the elements. I have searched for a text alignment and met a lot of information that talks about paragraphs and no seizure of returns and alignment using baseline or document grids grids. All pretty overwhelming to try to understand. I created text using individual text boxes and the characteristics of the alignment.

I would be happy to the easiest way to create this menu that would be visually nice and consistent.

Thank you

Hi Patty,.

Sorry for the delay in response, it was one of those days hehe.

I'll give a creation step by step on just the first text box, and (for the most part)

1. create the text box and put the copy in the box

-Create the box big enough so that if you were to copy and paste all of the text in another document, it will fit.  (personally I set the margins of the entire page and create the text box to the margin, only height adjustment to compensate for the red bar header you have to go at the top). But let me ask you this question.  You have all the elements of the menu on a WORD document (or something similar)?  If so, you can copy and paste everything at once.

-Anyway it doesn't really matter how to get everything that he, just put all the appetizers in a framed with here descriptions and prices, obviously placing them in the order you want to read.  For example

Fried Ravioli7.959.95

Item description goes on the next line.

Crab Cakes7.959.95

Item description goes on the next line.

etc...

(Make sure you have none between the two additional lines each element is important...) You will become too overwhelmed by the desire to use the space bar or the tab key to setting the price of space, are not!  Laughing out loud... Notice how I have no space between the element name and pricing... "This is how you want.)

QUESTION IMPORTANT, you want the police to pricing be identical to the order of the day?  I'll assume that you do

2. terms of organization of the first element (fried dumplings)

-Set up the first line (Fried Ravioli7.959.95) with the size of the exact font, font family and color you want all of the elements to search for.

-Now place your cursor inbetween fried ravioli and 7.95 and press the tab key, then place the cursor between 7.95 and 9.95 and press the tab key.  Should look like this now

Dumplings fried 7.95-9.95

Item description goes on the next line.

Crab Cakes7.959.95

Item description goes on the next line.

etc...

-Press Shift + Ctrl + T... This opens the ruler above the text box tab (it's kind of like the ruler of MS WORD at the top of the page only you can move).  Notice in the area, above the rule, there are more arrows, one pointing to the left, middle, right, middle.  Click the right arrow (which means the text will align to the right) with the right arrow selected, click on the rule and drag the marker to the tab where you want to than the first price to display (by dragging, you will notice prices moving with it, it's good) now place another faucet brand, once again, by clicking on the rule , just this one you want to drag all the way to the right, until it is just at the end of the text box.  Your first line should now look like this:

Dumplings fried 7.95-9.95

Item description goes on the next line.

Crab Cakes7.959.95

Item description goes on the next line.

etc...

3. format Description

-Once format description of the exact font family, font-size and color you want all descriptions look.

4. create the style of paragraph for elements (ok, let's go with the paragraph styles)

-Open the palette paragraph styles.

-Then place your cursor anywhere on the first line.

-While pressing the Alt key, click on the "create the new paragraph style" icon at the bottom of the Palette (it will look like a small piece of paper, next to a small trash can) paragraph styles, you will notice that a box opens, it's the settings in paragraph Styles box.  (but because you held ALT key while clicking on the icon of new style, all styles have been generated automatically.)  So all you need to do is type a name (at the top of the box), and then click ok.  Name it "Items".

5. create the style of paragraph for description

-Repeat step 4, only this time you will first of all place your cursor anywhere on the description line.  And appointing decription

6. apply styles to paragraph for the rest of the elements

OK, I won't tell you created styles in a loop, to get in shape all copy at a time, which would take too long to write... hehe...

But now that you have your two paragraphs created styles you can click format all other elements, that he takes no time

-Place your cursor on the first line of the order of the day, and the right mouse button click on the paragraph style "Items", in the paragraph style palette... In the menu, select the choice: apply style "Items" + clear overrides and character styles obvious (this will ensure that the line is formatted for the paragraph style you set exact)

Now you should have this properly set line-shaped... But uh oh, there is still no space between the two elements. I'm glad you noticed. Open the "Items" paragraph style settings, you will notice on the left there are tabs.  Click on the tab 'line spacing '.  Find the text box that says: "a space before" and enter a value (this will be the distance inbetween each element, so according to the units you are using, picas, inches, etc. assign a reasonable space.)  I would have put in. a.125.    If you have clicked on the box preview (located on the lower left corner of the settings box) you will immediately see your items should be spaced.  Click ok to exit the settings box.

-Repeat the previous step with the descriptions.  You won't have to worry about spacing here

-Now, repeat the previous two steps until all items are formatted.

7 make the blue Happy Hour price

Just real quick

Highlight the first price you want blue.  change the font color of blue, now in the Toolbox, select the "eyedropper" (you can't miss it, it resembles a dropper... lol) with the eyedropper tool, click the text highlighted in blue, but now empy changes look full.

A bit like the format in word, this pipette brush is now the exact formatting of the blue pricing.

-Now with the complete pipette, highlight each prize to the bottom of the list that is supposed to be blue.  Each item you want will change from black to blue.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------

OK, so there you have it... This should take care of it, I hope I don't miss anything, even if it is long and I'm little tired, I wouldn't be surprised... Laughing out loud...

Hope this helps

    Widget menu: Is it possible to align text centered in the top - Menu and pages to the left in the Menu of subpages?

    There is not a lot of controls (everything) for where the submenu is positioned, but you can align the text in submenus using text alignment in text on the menu Board is defined for the uniform Site. If the menu is set to uniform spacing you must be more creative and double-click until a submenu item is selected, use the space Panel (unlock the chain icon) to increase the right padding value so that the text appears on the left, aligned.

  • When I create a file, why the PDF is text aligned on different pages of my word document?

    I am trying to create a PDF of a document Word Mac.  In the conversion process text seems to shift - which was on the bottom of the first page in the Word document appears on page 2 of the pdf.  Any thoughts?

    It's normal. Word past stuff from one page to the other whenever he likes. The key is to make sure that this does not damage your document, for example never typing page numbers or using returns to finish a page.

  • With a withdrawal of the chip and text alignment problem

    I need to right align a text with a ball (numbered) AND to have a left indent.

    The text block is pointed out to the center of the double-page (so I can't use a smaller text without any left indent block).

    Withdrawal left avoid that double the text to the left of the flow to the center of the page.

    However, it seems that bullets don't like that much of withdrawals of paragraph:

    GfTpC.png

    So, I tried to use a transparent block with a text wrapping.

    The balls follow the text wrapping, but are aligned to the left:

    How could I solve this problem?

    Use a net of paragraph that may extend outside the text frame. So you can make the text smaller block.

  • No option to align on the Format menu in Dreamweaver CM³

    I downloaded and installed version of Dreamweaver CC track about 15 days ago.  Today, I bought (perhaps a mistake) DW CC. When you try to use the command of text align, there is no alignment command in the Format menu.

    I have taken a class DW this semester and available in the classroom and the laboratory DW have both this command located under the Format menu.

    Online help on the topic of formatting text, using online instructions indicate to underline the text, go to the Format menu > align, etc., etc.  Well, guess what?  It is not on my copy.

    I'm doing something wrong or is there something wrong with my copy of DW CC?

    Align is deprecated coding - news yesterday. Adobe removed the option of more recent versions of DW.

    Use css to align elements. So if you have a heading h1 tag where you want to center text use:

    H1 {}

    text-align: center;

    }

  • Text alignment problem!

    textAlign.JPGtextNotAligned.JPG

    In the first image, the text is aligned in the second image in PREVIEW MODE, it is NOT in line... What's happened and how can I solve this problem?

    It is an inevitable question, because each browser has its own text engine and calculates the flow of text, alignment, spacing and all the other attributes in its own way.

    What you can do: give the text enough room to compensate for these problems by extending the text width (and height) container. Unfortunately, there is nothing that Muse can do to stop this behavior. But, as I said, if we consider this behavior, it is not really difficult, available to areas of your text in an appropriate manner.

  • Basic menu boot problem

    , I decided to start another chance after seeing the tutorial "learn how to build a sensitive web page. I create a new site and create a new file to start using all the default values. I add a fluid container, then nest inside the fluid containing a basic menu. The menu is placed, but when the width is reduced, the menu to the right icon is not there. If I add that the other menu type the icon is there. Only the basic menu does not work properly. The button is there but no icon. I tried this on two different computers, and the result is the same. If I load the completed tutorial file, the icon is there, but if I try to add another menu of basic, no icon is visible. Thinking about the removal app and reloading, but I would like to ask for some advice first of thought.

    This is a known bug.  The code for this menu of basic misses a lot some necessary .navbar classes.

  • Watch is not in the menu text, but that email in the menu Send Messages MMS for blackBerry Smartphones

    Hi all

    I recently got my new Bold 9780 and did not restore from previous BB, I tucked everything manually. Front on my 9700 when I received a MMS it would appear under my menu text as an MMS. Now, on the 9780 with OS 6, when I receive a MMS - photo, text, photo, etc., it is in my email [email protected]. I even tried to send to friends who put them on the same network as me as a MMS, but if I send MMS even to me it comes as an email. My provider (TELUS) supports MMS for this phone, but it doesn't seem to work as an MMS.

    No matter what I try it will not come as a MMS, but rather e-mail [email protected] that said "You have received a Message from a Telus phone" and when I open it the image is there as my phone does not allow as an MMS.

    I wiped and reinstalled the software, deleted and resent service books and passed through the application loader to ensure that I have the most recent Basic programs.

    Has anyone ever seen cela or have any idea of what I can try to remedy this? Im going nuts.

    I managed to solve the problem by getting my carrier to replace the SIM card. Oddly enough, it worked.

  • CSS Drop down menu; How to align the edge right of the menu drop down and the parent menu?

    Hi all

    I have a drop down menu that works well.

    The only change that I need to do is to have the right edge of the drop-down menu below to align with the right edge of the parent menu. When you hover over the menu, it currently "injects" down and to the right, with the left edges aligned.

    I want the menu to 'drop' down and to the left, so the straight edges are aligned.

    I tried fiddling with floats and absolute/relative positioning. I don't know what needs to be changed.
