Start PageMaker. If the Templates palette is not open, click the New button in the toolbar to open it.
|
|
Under category, choose Direct Mail.
|
|
|
Windows: PageMaker includes a toolbar, a strip of command
shortcut buttons across the top of the screen under the menus. The
New button is the first one on the left.
|
|
|
Macintosh: PageMaker does not include the Templates palette
plug-in. Macintosh users can find the templates on the PageMaker
application CD in the folder called Templates. The template used
in this tip is in the folder called DirMail, template 1000579.pmt.

Double-click the first thumbnail to select and open a copy of the template.
|
|
Thumbnails for each of the Direct Mail templates are
shown in the palette. You can't really see what a template
looks like from its thumbnail, but you can see color and layout.
Here you want to create a three-fold self-sealing mailer, and you
can see that the first several templates fit this layout.

Check whether all necessary fonts are included.
|
|
The production box in the upper-right corner of each
template includes information on color, fonts, and any special printing
considerations, like the use of bleeds or high-resolution images.
Notice in our example that the template isn’t using the
fonts listed in the production box.
|
|
|
Recommended fonts must be added to the system using Adobe
Type Manager® (or copied to the system in Mac
OS). Write down the font names listed in the template's production
box (in this case, Bodoni, Myriad, and Woodtype Ornaments) and close
the template. Open ATM® (it's included with PageMaker)
and add the fonts included in PageMaker’s Template Fonts
folder. Return to PageMaker and reopen the template. It should look
different because all the fonts are correctly loaded.
