handy until you are familiar with the ones that are most important to you.
The display of distance measurements in the workspace depends on your
Preferences settings and your selections in the View menu. Additional
information is available in an Info dialog box, such as Template Page Info.
When you enable viewing of distances or dimensions, lines are displayed
that connect the points being measured, and text boxes display the
distance values. Most text boxes become editable after you click the
applicable page. Others, such as template page dimensions, can be
edited only in an Info dialog box.
Measurements that are not in an editable state appear in
dimmed text boxes with no borders.
A blue border around a measurement text box indicates that it
can currently be edited.

Removing versus
deleting objects
The snap feature helps you accurately and quickly place a page with the
correct distance between adjacent pages. If you drag a page and release
the mouse when the page is close to another page on the press sheet, it
automatically snaps to the adjacent page. The way that the pages are
separated when snapping depends on the Preferences Snap option that
you choose.
Opens an Info dialog box of properties
Automatically places that object (media, stock, mark, or template)in the
workspace in its default position
There is a difference, even though you might use the DELETE button for
either of these actions. Remove generally means to take an item out of
the workspace but retain it in the file or resource lists, while delete can
mean to make it permanently unavailable.
