How Do I Do That in Indesign?
Purchase options and add-ons
Adobe InDesign is the clear software of choice for designers in desktop publishing and typesetting. With it, designers create professional, eye-catching posters, flyers, brochures, magazines, newspapers, presentations, books, and ebooks. But because it has so much power and depth, sometimes the things you need are...well...kinda hidden or not really obvious. There will be a lot of times when you need to get something done in InDesign, but you have no idea where Adobe hid that feature, or what the "secret handshake" is to do that thing you need now so you can get back to working. That's why this book was created: to get you to the technique, the shortcut, or exactly the right setting, right now.
Here's how it works: When you need to know how to do a particular thing, you turn to the chapter where it would be found, find the thing you need to do (it's easy--each page covers just one single topic), and designer and author Dave Clayton tells you exactly how to do it just like he was sitting there beside you, using the same casual style as if he were telling a friend. That way, you get back to working in InDesign fast.
This isn't a book of theory, full of confusing jargon and detailed multi-step concepts. This is a book on which button to click, which setting to use, and exactly how and when to use it, so you're never "stuck" in InDesign again. This will be your "go to" book that sits within reach any time you're working in InDesign, and you are going to love having this type of help right at your fingertips.

Such a great resource, well thought out and stacks of content
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 January 2020Love this book. Cannot praise the author enough. Well laid out, well thought through with great pictures and explanations. I'm just picking up InDesign again with a hope to do more in it and it's like all the questions I normally would have had to google to try and find anything remotely like an answer have been brought together with great insight and forethought. It's jammed with the information I definitely needed, some things I might need and some things I've yet to learn about so it'll be by the side of my Mac for at least the next year to come or until the author writes a "How do I do MORE in InDesign" Thank you, Dave Clayton.

Missed many basic applications
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 August 2021Indesign has lots of hidden applications, the book has only covered the basics. On the subject of creating the book, Index is very important and table contents and much important application should have covered. It a quite good for the starting point but it is not what I expected.

Cliente de Amazon5 out of 5 starsPara principiantes en el programa
Reviewed in Mexico on 5 August 2022El libro se enfoca en el uso de la interfaz más que en la resolución de problemas. Por ejemplo, en cómo se usa y dónde se encuentran las herramientas, pero sin ofrecer ejemplos prácticos. Está bien para quien se enfrenta por primera vez al programa y no sabe de dónde partir
