Join Anne-Marie Concepción for an in-depth discussion in this video Manage object size, part of InDesign CC 2018: EPUB.
- [Instructor] Okay, well we've seen how InDesign…can affect the size of images and the position…of images when you export to EPUB.…I wanna go a little bit deeper in this video…because there are some settings that InDesign can do…that's strictly based on Cascading Style Sheets, CSS,…that will allow you to have even more control…over what happens to the images…based on the mark up that it applies.…So, let's review the basics.…First of all, we have an image that is anchored,…it is a custom anchor.…You can double check by going to Anchored Object,…Options and see that it's a custom anchored.…
And when I export to EPUB,…which you'll do right on the desktop,…we'll leave it at the default settings…and the default is that it's fixed and aligned centered.…So the CSS size means when it says fixed…that means it does not change size based on…the size of the type or the size of the screen,…the image will always stay the same size.…So click OK and see what that looks like.…And there he is, floating centered,…cause that was the default…
