The Jumpstart DVD Interface

Inside InDesign CS2 will take you through all of the essentials as well as many advanced features of InDesign CS2 as you complete a layout project for a fictional magazine. You will work alongside Adobe Certified Instructor Jeff Witchel using specially included media files so that you will quickly be up and running in this latest version of InDesign. By the end of the training, you will feel comfortable working with advanced type formatting such as nested paragraph styles, creating object styles and working with Snippets. You will be confident in your knowledge of the new functionality of anchored objects as well as the fluid interoperability that InDesign shares with other Creative Suite applications. This training is especially well-suited for users of existing layout programs, educators and small businesses.
