Book Description
InDesign in easy steps guides the reader through this new publishing program. It begins with a introduction to Adobe InDesign, explaining the working environment, document set-up, toolbox and palette conventions along with other useful techniques that will prove invaluable as the reader builds upon their InDesign skills.
Further areas covered include; building pages, text basics, character and paragraph settings, and working with text frames. Next, techniques such as aligning and spacing objects, the Layers palette and working with groups are covered. There are then dedicated chapters on working with colour, managing and editing text, the Pages Pallette and Master Pages.
Next, a chapter dedicated to Paragraph and Character Styles shows the reader how to control, use and save paragraph and character settings. This chapter also covers editing style sheets and how to apply and copy style sheets. Two further important sets of paragraph attributes are tabs and paragraph rules, and the reader is shown how to set and edit tabs and reverse paragraph rules in this next chapter.
As the reader builds up publications in InDesign, a chapter on Printing and Exporting will show the reader how to print low-cost, proof copies to a laser printer. This chapter also shows how to export publications as Adobe Acrobat PDF files, and how to export InDesign pages for use on the World Wide Web. Finally, the reader is shown how to use Paths and the Pen Tool.
This book covers all the essential features of InDesign, enabling the reader to manipulate this DTP program with ease. The step-by-step instructions provided make it ideal for professional designers converting from other page layout programs and is equally suitable for first time users who want to work at a slower pace.
