Adobe InDesign CS4 How-Tos: 100 Essential Techniques

InDesign CS4 is more than just a page layout tool; as part of Adobe's new Creative Suite 4, it's a key component of an overall design workflow that lets users work seamlessly among all of their graphics applications to create spectacular layouts. Work faster, create more is what Adobe wants users to do with InDesign, and this info-packed guide lets users get right down to doing just that by focusing on the InDesign CS4 features they're most likely to use and showcasing each in a stand-alone tip--complete with a relevant hint or two and a graphic example. In this fashion, readers learn as they go, exploring the program in a way that makes sense to them. Before they know it, users will be using the Bridge to manage their files, object styles to format their images, and snippets to save layout parts for reuse.

After referencing dozens of books concerning InDesign CS4, - this book covers the essential, the most sought-out techniques in a logical easy to navigate layout. I do agree that the font is rather small, yet the content is superb.

I found this book helpful as an accompaniment to more detailed books. It explains InDesign functions with easys-to-understand language once a user has a general basic knowledge of how InDesign works. As a new user of InDesign CS4 I find it a very useful tool to supplement my other books and tutorials. You can find what you are looking for easily!!

Great book, I recieved it online and have been able to access it on my PC, iPad, and my windows phone.

Getting this documentation for the Kindle seemed like a great idea. But the screen shots were unreadable. I could not enlarge the teeny tiny print, like I could on the plain text. Nor could I enlarge the document or increase the contrast. A bust, as far as I was concerned for this type of document.

the book was in perfect quality, the price was a bargain, it arrived promptly... can't complain.
