entering urdu in the text box.
4. Once the text has been completely entered, select the Arrow Tool from the tool
strip and now select this text box in the arrow mode.
5. Copy this text box onto the clipboard by using the Copy command.
Now switch to Corel Draw and paste the text box you have already copied onto
the clipboard.

How To Layout A Ghazal?

Ghazals have a special place in urdu literature. There are essentially two ways to layout a
ghazal.
Ghazal Style 1
To set the ghazal in this fashion, please follow these steps—
1. Insert a Table with three columns. The extreme left and extreme right columns are to be
used for entering ghazal text. The middle column will be used for controlling space
between the text.
2. Set the table width of the extreme right column (column no. 1) and extreme left (column
no. 3) to 3 cm. Set the middle column to 0.2 cm. Set the Table Alignment to Centered. All
these operations are to be carried from Format Table menu item in Format menu.
3. Select all the columns and click on the Forced Justify icon from the Text Ribbon.
4. Now enter urdu text in column no. 1. Follow it up with two tabs to reach column no. 3
and enter the corresponding second part of the couplet.
5. Continue till you have entered all the four lines.
6. For the bottom portion of the ghazal, enter one column table and specify the
width as 3 cm. Again select the column and set the Forced Justify option.
7. Now enter urdu text for the bottom portion of the ghazal.
8. Repeat the above steps till you have laid out the complete ghazal.
Ghazal Style 2
To set this style of ghazal, you will need to use style sheet functionality. Follow these
underlined steps—
1. Create a style sheet by choosing the Style sheet menu item from the Format menu
and clicking on the New button in the ensuing Style sheet dialog.
2. Enter the name of the new style sheet as lets say 'Right' and click on OK button.
3. Now click on the Paragraph button and specify the beginning indent (from left)
as 5cm and end indent (from right) as 2 cm. Also choose the Alignment as
Forced Justify.
4. Enter the keyboard shortcut for the style sheet as 'R'.
5. Make another style sheet and call it 'Left' with keyboard shortcut as 'L'.
6. Specify the beginning indent as 2 cm and end indent as 5 cm.
7. Once you have these style sheets, you can use Ctrl+Shift+R and Ctrl+Shift+L to
apply the style sheet to the current paragraphs.
8. First apply Ctrl+Shift+R and enter first two lines of urdu text.
9. Now apply Ctrl+Shift+L and enter next two lines of urdu text.
10. Repeat the last two steps till you have entered the complete ghazal.
How To Layout An Urdu-English Dictionary?

Supposing you need to create an Urdu to English dictionary (or for that matter English to
Arabic dictionary), like follows—
As you will notice that urdu text and English text appear in the same line and yet urdu is
right to left and English appears left to right. The above has been created as follows—
1. Insert Table by using the Table menu item in the Insert menu.
2. Specify number of columns (2 in this case) required along with its width if any. If you
do not specify the width of the column, the text box width will be divided by number of
columns required and you will get the default column width.
3. Select the right column & click on Arabic character alignment button.
4. Select the left column & click on the Latin character alignment button.
5. Now start in urdu entry mode and enter urdu text. Once the text has been entered in a
cell, press Tab.
6. In this cell switch to English entry mode and enter the English text.
7. Repeat the above steps to completely enter all the urdu and English text.
How To Layout A Book

To layout a book or a manual like InPage user manual, you need to make use of the
following features in InPage—
· Double sided document
· Master Page
· Text box Tool
· Title text box Tool
· Linking Tool
· Insert Page Number menu item
· Urdu Page Numbers from Document Preferences
To layout a book, follow these steps
1. Make a new document by choosing New menu item from the File menu. A book is
a double sided document with text flowing from one page to another. An urdu/Arabic
document will be right to left whereas an English document will be left to right. In the new
dialog enter the physical dimensions of your book, click double sided check box on, mark
the inside and outside margins required for the text box and check the automatic check box
on. If you wish to have columnar text then specify the number of columns in the columns
field. On being satisfied with the various values click on the OK button.
2. Now click on the master page button on the extreme bottom left corner of your
document. Zoom with the right mouse button to fit in window view of your document. If
facing pages is not clicked on, please select the facing pages menu item from view menu.
You should now be able to see both the pages in a single window.
3. If you had selected automatic text box ON in step 1, then proceed to the next step.
Else you can actually make the text boxes of requisite size by selecting the text box tool
and creating the text box. To link this text box with another one, click on the text box,
choose the linking tool and create another text box on other master page.
4. Using the title text box tool create title text box for each master page and place
them where you want the page number to appear on each document page. Now using I-
Beam tool click on the title text box just created. Using the Insert menu choose the Page
Number menu item. This will lead to insertion of hash(#) inside the title text box. You can
now insert text before or after hash (in English/urdu/Arabic etc.)
5. Using title text box you can insert some other book title that will appear on each
page of your book.
Note: You can enter text or page number only in the title text box on the master pages.
6. Now when go to document mode by clicking on master page icon again, you will
notice that on document pages the text boxes and title text boxes appear at the positions
where you placed them on the master page. You will also notice that in the page number
title text box, appropriate page number appears. To select from various styles of page
numbers, you can go to document preferences in the Preferences menu item in Edit menu.
You can also specify that the page numbers appear in urdu by selecting the urdu page
number option.
7. Now you can choose the I-Beam tool and click on the text box of the first
document page. Start entering text at the caret position.
8. You will notice that as you enter text, pages are inserted automatically and the text
flows from one text box of one page to another text box of another page.
9. If you wish to begin a new chapter you can use the Page Breaks option of the
Format Paragraph command.
10. If you wish to keep the book in multiple files, then you can use Start Page Number
field in the Document Preferences command of Edit menu to set the starting page number
of succeeding chapters.
Master Page
You can go to a Master Page by clicking on the Master Page icon in the Status Bar. If your
document is double sided then you will see two master pages. On the other hand if your
document is single sided then you will see only one master page. The objects that are made
on the master pages appear on the corresponding document pages.
Modification of Master Objects
If the master object is modified on the master page, then this change is reflected in this
master object on all the other document pages.
If the master object is modified on a document page then only that master object on that
document page is modified.
Attribute Level Linking of Master Object Copy
Those attributes of the master object which are changed locally on the document page get
delinked from the master object but other attributes remain linked. For example change the
size of the master object copy locally in the document page; now go to this master object on
the master page and change the fill color. Now all the master objects copy (including the
earlier modified master object copy) get the new fill color. Go back to the master Object on
the master Page and change its size. This will result in all the master object copies except
the one modified in step 1 getting the new size.
Behavior of Text Boxes on a Master Page
You cannot enter text into a Text Box on a master page. Thus if you move the mouse on top
of a Text Box on a master page, the cursor will not change to IBEAM or Dotted I Beam, it
will remain ARROW cursor. However, you can enter text in the normal way in copies of
this master object on other document pages.
Behavior of Title Text Boxes on a Master Page
You can enter text into a Title Text Box on a master page. But you cannot enter text into
the copy of this master Title Text Box on other pages. The copies take the text from the
master Title Text Box. If a Title Text Box is drawn afresh on the document page and is not
a copy of the master Title Text Box, then text can be entered into this Title Text Box.
Uses of Title Text Box
Title Text Boxes are used for entering Titles, headlines, page number, date etc. Behavior of
Title Text Boxes on Master Page is different as compared to that of a Text Box. You can
enter text into a Title box on a master page. You can verify this by moving the cursor on
top of a Title Box Text Box. The cursor will change to IBEAM or DOTTED IBEAM. But
for copies of this master object on other document pages, you cannot enter text or modify
text formatting.
Always bear in mind

that your own
resolution to
succeed is more
important than any
other.
