InDesign 2.0, Adobe s exciting new page layout application, shares the language of professional designers, delivering unparalleled creative freedom, productivity, and precision for designing superb pages. It works seamlessly with Adobe s PhotoShop and Illustrator applications, providing a single integrated system that does not interrupt your creative process. Among some of the new features are transparency controls, tables, consistent color management allowed by Adobe Core Technology, and InDesign s Long Document support, which is great for allowing the creation of indexes and tables of content. Virtual Training Company author Andrew Hathaway begins slowly by introducing and explaining the interface and palettes of InDesign 2.0, setting up a new document, and how to use many of the tools, such as line tools and frame tools. He then moves on to adding text and graphics, formatting, editing, applying color, importing from PhotoShop or Illustrator, and more.
