InDesign for Macintosh and Windows : Visual Quickstart Guide

Rating:
Summary: More than I ever expected to learn
Review: I bought this VQS because I like the series. But this book goes way beyond the other VQS books.

The author really understands what students need to know. Not only does she explain how the features work, she adds extra information on "why" things should be a certain way. For instance, not only does she explain how to create a style sheet, but she tells you how many style sheets she used to create the book--and why you would need that many.

I really appreciated all the tips to help make sure my documents would print correctly.

But the biggest bonus what the two chapters at the end on comparing InDesign to either Quark or PageMaker. The side by side comparisons helped me understand how to make InDesign work like Quark.

I don't think I'd be able to work with InDesign were it not for this book.
