Advanced Adobe InDesign CS5 Class

Course Objectives
Are you using InDesign now, but feel like you are always working too hard to make your deadlines? This Advanced InDesign class is focused on streamlining your workflow so that you can get your publication to the printer in a timely manner and still have your nights and weekends for yourself. Here's what is covered:

Working with Typography
Advanced typography controls are covered, including baseline alignment across multiple columns, glyphs, drop caps, spacing controls, tracking & kerning controls, setting tabs, attaching rules to paragraphs.

Working with Styles
We review the use of paragraph and character styles, plus how to nest character styles within a paragraph style, and learn how to define and apply object styles, table styles and cell styles.

Importing and Modifying Graphics
Learn how to make the new Links panel work for you, plus how to get the most from your Illustrator and Photoshop files after they are placed into your InDesign layout.

Creating Tables
Import an Excel spreadsheet and control the formatting with table and cell styles.

Output and Exporting
Learn how to use the Preflight and Package commands while preparing files to send out for commercial printing. Creating PDF documents is also covered.

A copy of the coursebook and the data files will be sent to you prior to the start of the class.

Design professional layouts for print and digital publishing
Adobe® InDesign® CS5 software provides precise control over typography and built-in creative tools for designing, preflighting, and publishing documents for print, online, or to mobile devices. Bring documents and presentations to life with interactivity, animation, sound, and video. Leading industry tools, and productivity enhancements make page layout simpler and faster. Access Adobe CS Live online services* from within InDesign to streamline critical review processes. CS Live online services are complimentary for a limited time—visit www.adobe.com/go/cslive for details.

Top reasons to upgrade to Adobe® InDesign® CS5

Interactive documents and presentations
Engage and inform readers with documents and presentations that integrate interactivity, animation, sound, and video. Export documents directly from InDesign to SWF files for playback in Adobe Flash® Player.

Simplified object selection and editing
Perform repetitive layout tasks efficiently. Manipulate frames and frame content without switching tools. Dynamically adjust white space between objects while maintaining the relationship between frames. Use on-object controls to modify frame corners directly in the layout.

Integration with Adobe CS Review*
Create and share document reviews online from within InDesign through integration with CS Review, a new CS Live online service.
*Invite colleagues and clients to comment using just a browser. Using the CS Review integration in InDesign, you can view comments in the context of your InDesign layout, making it easier to address feedback to meet project deadlines more efficiently. CS Live online services are complimentary for a limited time—visit www.adobe.com/go/cslive for details.

Multiple page sizes
Create pages with different sizes in a single document to streamline file management. Share the same master page across different-sized layouts for greater efficiency.

Tracked text changes
Mark up text directly in InDesign and easily track copy revisions. Get to final copy faster by accepting or rejecting text changes within the document.

Paragraphs that span and split columns
Quickly format headlines, subheads, or any text to span multiple columns in a single text frame without having to create separate text frames.

All-new Layers panel
Easily manage layers in simple and complex documents. Quickly find, select, lock, hide, name, and change the stacking order of individual page items directly in the Layers panel. Drag objects from one group to another. The new Layers panel behavior is similar to the Layers panel in Adobe Illustrator® and Adobe Photoshop.®

Production enhancements
Speed up delivery of print and digital documents. Preview InDesign pages and placed images in Adobe Bridge. Find linked assets used in one layout and drag them into another InDesign document using the integrated Mini Bridge panel.

Eliminate missing fonts
InDesign automatically installs the required fonts when you open a document and uninstalls them when you close it. Appropriate font licensing is still required.

Digital export
Export your page design and text layouts with greater fidelity to Flash Professional CS5, retaining animation, video, and sound from your InDesign document. Export InDesign content as XHTML with greater control over page order for editing in Adobe Dreamweaver® CS5. Export eBooks authored in InDesign CS5 to industry-standard EPUB files for reading on laptops or mobile devices, including the Apple iPad, Sony Reader, and Barnes & Noble nook. Include rich media to bring eBooks to life when read on a personal computer using Adobe Digital Editions, a desktop reading application.

Live captions
Generate static or live captions automatically from image metadata, and add text before or after the selected metadata tag in InDesign. Specify the position and style of the caption, optionally including the caption on its own layer.
