4.15 Working with compound shapes

1. Choose View > Fit Page In Window to fit page 3 in the window.
2. Using the Rectangle Frame tool, draw a frame from where the right edge of the 1st column meets the horizontal guide at 46p6 on the vertical ruler, to the lower-right corner of the page where the red bleed guides intersect.
3. With the Selection tool selected, hold down the Shift key and click the green box that covers a full part of page 3 to simultaneously select the new rectangle and the green box.
4. Choose Object > Pathfinder > Subtract to subtract the top shape from the green shape. The text frame at the bottom of the page is now on a white background.
5. With the green box still selected, choose Object > Lock Position. This helps avoid accidental repositioning of the frame.
