Long documents — such as books, proposals, or large reports — require a few special InDesign techniques. Learn from a master of book design and construction as we explore:
It’s no use filling your long documents with amazing information if the reader can’t find it! The good news is that InDesign has powerful tools for making indexes, tables of contents, bookmarks, and other navigation tools. The bad news is that these features are often confusing!
Let’s investigate these features and explore how to use them, why to use them, and how to make them bend to your will.
Topics include:
You already have Adobe InDesign, so why not use it to help you make your presentations? After all, laying out a slide is very similar to laying out a page.
Join us as we explore:
Adding page numbers is easy in InDesign, but managing them well — along with your headers, footers, sections, numbering, and more — can be tricky!
Let’s take a deep dive into the world of headings and numbering, and see how InDesign’s automation tools can help us produce long documents faster than ever before.
Topics include:
Once you get started with GREP, you keep finding more and more uses for it! In this session we share several amazing GREP tricks with you. Note: While these are advanced tips, any InDesign user can take advantage of them. Just copy and paste them from the handouts to achieve great results!
This session includes:
If your documents include images (especially numbered figures and captions), you owe it to yourself to learn these from-the-trenches tips and techniques to speed up your work!
Topics include:
GREP is one of the most important features in InDesign, but sadly it’s one of the least used! In introductory session, we’ll get you up to speed with this amazing tool for finding, changing, and formatting text patterns.
We’ll look at some design samples and learn essential GREP techniques such as:
If you think of constructing a long document like building a house, the parent pages (also called master pages) are like the foundation, and flowing text is like putting up the walls. Make a mistake with either, and it’ll cost you dearly down the line.
In this session, we’ll explore building parent pages and flowing text into your InDesign files.
Topics include:
In this info-packed session, we’ll explore more interactivity that you can add to your InDesign digital documents. You’ll learn about MSOs (Multi-State Objects): how to create them, and how to control which state is showing with buttons and arrows.
You’ll also learn how to create:
Unless you’re the one writing the copy for the InDesign layouts you design, chances are someone else is using Microsoft Word and giving you the file to flow in. And there’s the rub: Two different software companies. Two different text engines. Two different ways to format text. And it’s up to you to solve it!
In this fast-paced session, we’ll show you how to quickly fix the most common problems you’ll encounter. You’ll be amazed to see how most of the solutions are easy, free, and built right into the program.
