Working with Objects - Adobe InDesign CC - page 112

1. Click the Layers panel icon or choose Window > Layers to open the Layers panel.
2. If the Text layer is not selected in the Layers panel, click to select it. The layer is
highlighted to indicate that it's selected. Notice that a pen icon ( ) appears to the
right of the layer name. The pen icon indicates that this layer is the target layer,
and while it's selected anything you import or create is placed on this layer.
3. Click the small triangle to the left of the Text layer name. All of the groups and ob-
jects on this layer are now displayed below the layer name. Use the panel's scroll
bar to view the names in the list, and then click the triangle again to hide them.
4. Click the eye icon ( ) to the far left of the Graphics layer name. All the objects on
the Graphics layer are hidden. The eye icon lets you hide or display individual lay-
ers. When you turn off the visibility of a layer, the eye disappears. Click the empty
box again to display the layer contents.
5. Use the Zoom tool ( ) to zoom in on the dark blue frame on the front page (page
1).
6. Using the Selection tool ( ), move the pointer within the Yield sign graphic.
Notice the highlighted blue rectangle around the frame. The blue border indicates
that the frame is on the Text layer, which has been assigned a blue color. A trans-
parent doughnut shape, otherwise known as the content grabber, is displayed in the
center of the frame. When you move the pointer within the content grabber, it
changes to a hand.
