Description
Widely anticipated for years, Adobe InDesign is finally here -- and this hot new page layout and design program will give QuarkXPress TM its toughest competition ever! If you're planning to give InDesign a whirl, InDesign In Depth is the authoritative, comprehensive guide you need. Lead author Frank Romano is a world-renowned graphic arts expert who wrote the first QuarkXPress book, and has been intimately involved with InDesign since the earliest test versions. Romano explains the sleek, state-of-the-art InDesign program architecture, which relies more heavily on plug-ins than any previous layout package, and integrates spectacularly well with other Adobe tools, such as Photoshop and Acrobat. Then, learn all the InDesign skills you need for sophisticated page layout: managing frames, objects, type, text, and much more. Romano offers never-before-published tips and tricks for making the most of graphics in InDesign; creating perfect output whether you're outputting to film, PDF, or HTML; importing QuarkXPress and PageMaker documents; scripting, text tagging, and more.
