Now the reason we scaled it down to around 25 is that it just makes it easier for us to see the finished size here. What we want to do though is make it if we zoom up here and have a look a bit closer, we want to make it the same width as this final line of type, just a nice sort of graphic finish.
We can do this more interactively. We position this, make sure you are using the Main Selection Tool, don't forget, position it so it's left hand edge just sits on the left hand side of that type. I am going to scroll over here, so we can see the right side.
Instead of trying to guess what the actual size is, we can scale interactively holding down the Ctrl and the Shift key or the Command and Shift on the Mac, grab a corner point and just pause for a second. The reason we pause, is that when you then start dragging, you see a live preview of the size of the logo.
So now we can scale this up or down to fit the exact size of that final line simply by keeping those keyboard shortcuts held down, when you now let go, it scales automatically. So no worrying about size, you can do it interactively.
Now we want to make sure that this is positioned down the page by a certain amount. We are going to come up here to the Y value, highlight this, and again in millimeters let's key in 135. Hit Return or Enter. Now that will drop down the page a little way, it is positioned quite a way down here. But we will adjust the position of everything else to match in a short while.
Now if we press Ctrl+0 or Command+0 on the Mac to fit everything in the window, you can see that the logo is white, on whatever background we end up with here. We are going to place a new logo here at the top later on, but the type should also be white, just to make sure everything matches. We didn't take that into account when we did our Style Sheet.
Well again, we can use Power Redefinition to take care of that. Let's zoom back up here onto the first two, maybe two-and-a-half paragraphs so we can see it a bit more closely. Once again, double-click on the Type to activate the Type tool and just select that first paragraph.
Come down here to the Swatches Palette, on the lower right hand side. Expand that. Make sure that the Fill is selected here. It should now show up with a T inside it because we are not dealing with the Fill of our frame but rather the Fill of the text itself. Go ahead now and click on the Paper Swatch, which will fill that now with white.
The cool thing about that is, you will notice again, we have a local change to the Intro Text Style Sheet. We changed its color. If we want to apply that now to everything else on that first page, once again, come back out to the flyout menu, redefine that style using the new color, the white is now updated everywhere else. If we go back to the Main Selection Tool, we can see now all three paragraphs formatted the same. Let's press Ctrl+0 again to fit everything in the window and just save that document because we are now ready to continue.
