by Sandee CohenIf you work in page-layout programs -- whether you're transitioning from Quark or PageMaker, or just getting started using InDesign, you'll want to have a copy of "InDesign 2 for Windows and Macintosh: Visual QuickStart Guide" as your resource of choice.
Adobe InDesign 2.0 is trying hard to be your DTP program of choice. It offers new features such as true transparency, 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 long documents, use the Bezier pen tools, and work with color. More advanced topics, such as advanced text control and preflighting are also covered.
However, as usual with the new incarnations of Adobe products, the features are buried in layer after layer of palettes, commands, pull-downs, and obscure icons. The program's got the power -- there's no doubt about that. You just can't find it -- without real help like this book! * InDesign 2 (Visual QuickStart Guide) - by Sandee CohenMacintosh and Windows -- Paperback: 430 pages; Dimensions (in inches): 0.84 x 8.96 x 7.10 * Publisher: Peachpit Press; 1st edition (March 15, 2002) * from the DTP Department.
