Styles in Digital Documentation

A style is a collection of formats applied to text, pages, and frames in a document.
Advantages include maintaining uniformity across documents and simplifying large-scale formatting changes.

Image Cropping

Cropping can be initiated by right-clicking an image and selecting "Picture."
The Crop page allows adjustments through specific parameters.
Keep Scale: Default setting that maintains the image's overall scale during cropping.
Keep Image Size: Maintains the image's dimensions while allowing for distortion or resizing based on cropping values.
Users can input margins for left, right, top, and bottom cropping.

Methods of Inserting Images

Three common methods:
- Drag and Drop
- Inserting from clipboard
- Inserting from scanner

Text Wrapping and Anchoring

Text Wrapping: Refers to how text surrounds an image. Options include wrapping on one or both sides or placing text behind or in front of the graphic.
Anchoring: Designates the reference point of graphics within the document, dictating their location on the page or frame.

Templates

Advantages include:
- Easiness in document creation.
- Saves time in styling documents.

Advantages include:
- Streamlines sending identical content to multiple recipients.
- Eliminates the need for repetitive name entries in each letter.
