Summary

InDesign 1.0/1.5 for Macintosh and Windows: Visual 1.5 QuickStart Guide gives you everything you need to know to get up and running with Adobe's hot new page-layout program, InDesign 1.5. This cross-platform guide introduces you to the InDesign 1.5 interface, including the tool and palettes menus. From there you will learn how to create and navigate a document, work with text and objects, use pen tools, work with color, import and manipulate graphics, and work with long documents and styles. Once you've mastered these skills you can move on to more advanced topics, such as advanced text control, color management, and preflighting. If you are familiar with page-layout software you will find an invaluable resource in the last two chapters, which offer comparisons between InDesign and QuarkXPress, and InDesign and PageMaker.
