Summary

Untitled If you work in page-layout programs -- whether you're transitioning fromQuark or PageMaker, or just getting started using InDesign, you'll want tohave a copy of "InDesign 2 for Windows and Macintosh: Visual QuickStartGuide" as your resource of choice. Adobe InDesign 2.0 is coming of age -- it offers new features such as truetransparency, table creation, long document support, indexing, a superior printing interface,and native Mac OS X support. The program's tighter integration with other Adobe products enables graphic designers, production artists, and prepress professionals to exercise design innovation and improve productivity. This cross-platform, visual guide introduces you to the InDesign interface, including the tools and palettes, how to create and navigate a document, import and style text and objects, automate your work, manage longdocuments, use the Bezier pen tools, and work with color. More advancedtopics, such as advanced text control and preflighting are also covered. Sandee Cohenhas been training in the field of desktop publishing for the past 12 years. The graphics curriculum instructor for the New School Computer Instruction Center in New York City, she is a lively speaker at many conferences, including Seybold Seminars, Macworld Expo, and Thunder Lizardevents. In addition to InDesign, she is the author of Visual QuickStartGuides on Fireworks and FreeHand. .
