Indesign Cs3 in Easy Steps: For Windows and Mac
This latest entry in the In Easy Steps series is written for both beginners and for those who know earlier versions of InDesign or other DTP software but want to grasp the features quickly. Author Robert Shufflebotham starts with the basics and then builds from them to cover the more extensive range of functionality the new software has to offer. By following the book's logical structure, readers can develop the core skills needed to master the program. Shufflebotham clearly explains the fundamentals of page layout, creating a platform on which to build new skills. Then he explores InDesign's comprehensive typesetting capabilities such as color; text editing; paragraph, character, and objects styles; master pages; and document construction and layers. Later chapters deal with tables of contents and indexes, the book palette, InDesign's industrial-strength print, PDF export and XML capabilities, together with InDesign's powerful table functionality, and its sophisticated Bezier curve functionality.

Excellent backup for learning InDesign
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This is excellent as a backup for learning, remembering, and working with InDesign. Goes great with the Visual Quickstart Guide.
A great deal!

I was shocked to discover the small price of this book. Often, when there is a need to learn new software (or software that has been updated so many times since you first used it that it feels "new") a simple, direct book is what is needed. I have plenty of thick, informative, detailed $44 software books that I never look at. I love this little book. Especially because I am ACTUALLY reading it for the very reason that it is not like many software manuals that become handy as brick-sized bookends, and are rarely perused. A minor critique: The useful "Hot tip", "Don't forget", and "Beware" side bars are a bit hard on my eyes, as they are presented in a grayed-out sans serif type. But overall the layout is admirably clean and simple. And the book is in full color, which is amazing given the small price. Overall, it's excellent! It is just what I needed.
Informative and easy to understand

I liked this book because it explained how to use the program in an easy to read way. I didn't have to wade thru a lot of gibberish to find what I needed to do what I wanted in Indesign.
