In a Typefi workflow, the production designer creates a Typefi-ready template in Adobe InDesign. The template may include Typefi Elements, which are objects, or groups of objects, that are distinguished from the core text in a publication. Depending on the complexity of an Element (which is controlled by the production designer) you might be prompted to provide specific content—such as text, image data, or Field data—as you insert the Element into Word.
To insert an Element:
- Place the cursor at the end of a paragraph, before the paragraph return character.
NOTE Always insert Elements at the end of a paragraph. Inserting Elements mid-paragraph results in the paragraph 'breaking' at that point. In cases where an Element must be placed as close as possible to related topic content in the text, add an Element Reference in that location after inserting the Element. This reference may appear anywhere within paragraph text but is best at the end of a paragraph. - In the Typefi tab within the Insert group, click Element.
- In the Select Element dialogue, choose the Element you want to insert and click OK.
NOTE If you are inserting a Floating Element, you can specify which variant to use. The default variant is Automatic, which means that Typefi will decide which variant to place during the automated page composition process. To choose a variant, click Change and choose the variant.
The Element is inserted into the Word document.
You can edit the Element at any time.
