The chapters begin with an overview of the InDesign interface including a look at the available menus and shortcuts, then examine the basics to building documents using InDesign. You'll learn all the necessary steps to working with graphics and type and how to create and apply styles. You'll also learn step by step how to convert a Quark document into an InDesign one and some advanced techniques to enhance that same document using InDesign. The chapters wrap with an in-depth look at some of InDesign's most popular features including the secrets to using libraries and snippets and how to use transparency correctly to create impressive documents.
