All language subtitles for 07 Prepare the Text.en-US

You just prepare the most important asset in your portfolio, your images.

Now, let's prepare your text.

You should write down all of the texts that you want to be in the portfolio.

For example, your bio,

the story of the designs, or a case study.

This will help you to have an idea of

how much space you will need when laying out your portfolio.

As we will see later in the class,

InDesign would only allow you to place text directly from Microsoft Word.

Of course, you can always copy and paste it.

But if you're working with pages,

for example, the Apple word processor,

know that when saving your document,

you can choose to do so in "File",

"Export to", "Word".

Select "docx", and click "Next".

Name your document, and click "Export."

Now your document is a Word document.

Before you continue this class,

write down your text and save it in Microsoft Word.

Next, we're going to create your InDesign new document.
