Adobe® InDesign CS3 How-Tos

About this book

InDesign CS3 is more than just a page layout tool; as part of Adobe's new Creative Suite 3, it's a key component of an overall design workflow that lets users work seamlessly among all of their graphics applications to create spectacular layouts. "Work faster, create more" is what Adobe wants users to do with InDesign, and this info-packed guide lets users get right down to doing just that by focusing on the InDesign CS3 features they're most likely to use and showcasing each in a stand-alone tip--complete with a relevant hint or two and a graphic example. In this fashion, readers learn as they go, exploring the program in a way that makes sense to them. Before they know it, users will be using the Bridge to manage their files, object styles to format their images, and snippets to save layout parts for reuse. Features new to InDesign CS3 that are covered include: customizing the interface, new object effects, finer transparency controls, and table and cell styles. Adobe InDesign CS3 will ship along with the rest of the Creative Suite 3 in mid-April. It can be purchased as part of one of the Creative Suite bundles, or as a stand-alone product for $699. Current registered owners of earlier versions can upgrade for $199.
