| OverviewWith its ever-tightening
integration with Adobe's full suite of creative products and its
own increasingly sophisticated feature set, InDesign is winning
legions of Quark and FrameMaker converts. If you're among
them–or if you've decided to sidestep those programs
altogether–you need this book. In these pages, the Adobe
Creative Team uses a series of project-based lessons to provide a
thorough grounding in the InDesign school of page design. You'll
find step-by-step lessons in InDesign CS2 fundamentals plus plenty
of the advanced tips and techniques you need to take your page
designs to the next level. The workbook-style format includes
self-paced lessons followed by review questions to reinforce the
knowledge and a CD with all of the files required to complete the
book's projects. Throughout, special focus is given to the features
new to InDesign CS: the new Adobe Bridge file browser; object
styles, snippets, smarter text handling, the ability to hide or
show layers in Photoshop and PDF files, and much more.

Reader Reviews From Amazon (Ranked by 'Helpfulness') Average Customer Rating: based on 40 reviews. Adobe InDesign CS3, 2008-09-24 Reviewer rating: Item received before expected due date. Installed and used for classroom lessons and activities in a Desktop Publishing class. Very useful with great examples and activities. | Project due in two weeks and I don't know the software!, 2008-09-23 Reviewer rating: Adobe InDesign CS2 Classroom in a Book saved my career! Coming from an MS Word environment, I was Adobe-resistant, but I had a book to get publisher ready so, in one week, with the help of this book, I learned to love InDesign by zipping through this book and the included CD ROM tutorial. Well worth the price. This is an excellent training manual. | Simple, Direct, Easy to Understand, 2008-09-15 Reviewer rating: I have used these handbooks before, and they are the simplest to understand. I manage creatives and really don't know how to use the CS2 programs, but even I can pick up this book and create files with no experience. It is a great reference in helping to get my designers away from Quark and into InDesign. | Good book but not a reference book, 2008-03-19 Reviewer rating: I bought this book and yes, it is a good book but it is not the reference book that I was looking for. I need to be able to look up how to do a particular application or what a certain button does. I have to figure out which lesson this might be found in and then go through to the lesson. This is time consuming and I do not always find the information I need. I am really looking for a great index with step by step on how to perform certain funtions. | New User, 2008-02-15 Reviewer rating: I am teaching myself InDesign; have no background in this type of software. This book is an excellent "teacher." I highly recommend it. |
