Thanks in advance.
It's been awhile since I written in
here.
In Illustrator 10 how do I fill with a
picture of grass, bricks, clouds,
cloth, or some pattern that I made? I
drew a square with the rectangle tool
and wanted to fill it with something.
There is not much in the swatch
collection. And it would be nice to
know how to scale the fill, swatch,
hatch, etc. These things can be done
in PhotoShop, but that rasterizes the
art work. The hatch effects were way
to big and the lines or dots were to
far apart - no matter what I did.
Something else, with Indesign 2, I
would like to print out some booklets
that I'm making (1 or 2 copies - not
enough to take to the printers).
Several years ago, I was helping my
Aunt make some booklets using
mspublisher - the page size was half
of an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper. The
pages were numbered. Then we printed
them out on the home computer printer
on the full size 8.5 x 11 sheet of
paper, 2 pages per side front and
back, when we put them to gether and
stapled them in the center fold it
down the center into the booklet and
each page was in it's correct place,
not scattered about. It would be nice
to do that with Indesign 2. I get
comfused just trying to number the
pages, and see nothing in the book
about printing a booklets off the home
computer printer. It would be nice
to print booklets from pdf format,
too. Either will do, just as long as
it's designed in Indesign 2.
