#Adobe indesign cs5 tutorial book how to
I'll show you how to prepare your file for Prepress whether you're sending your native files out to a printer or creating a high resolution PDF. We look at Tables, we create a Long Document with multiple InDesign documents and put them together using an InDesign Book. I love talking about Styles and the Text features that you can integrate with Styles. We then have Advanced Features and Advanced Styles all to do with Text and this is really where InDesign is so powerful. Effects haven't really changed in this version but they are great that you can add drop shadows and transparencies to your objects. We talk about how you can work with Graphics and how you can have, for example, inline graphics that move and flow with the text.

We talk about Layers which has been really revamped in this particular version so that each object is effectively its own Layer which becomes very important when you're dealing with complex layouts. We'll then get on to Pages and Masters and we did touch on this in the Beginner tutorial but we get into some more advanced features like the new Multiple Page Sizes and then Multiple Master Pages and how they integrate with various Layers. I'm going to start off by talking about customizing the Interface so that you can be as efficient as possible within InDesign. I did do the Beginner course and it's available through VTC and I'm going to assume that you've done it or at least have that knowledge as we get into the features of this course.

They started with CS then moved to CS2, incorporated all the other programs into the Creative Suite and that's when they released InDesign CS. InDesign is part of Adobe's Creative Suite, that's what the CS stands for, and although this is called CS5 it's really the 7th version of InDesign. My name is Brian White and I'll be guiding you through some of the fantastic features of this great software package. Hello and welcome to VTC's Adobe InDesign CS5 Advanced course.
