Adobe InDesign CS5
Advanced training class

In this two-day course, you’ll take your InDesign CS5 skills to the truly professional level with knowledge of many of this software’s advanced and little-known features.

For example, after revising Next Styles and Nested Styles we’ll look into Object Styles and combining styes. We’ll master InDesign’s Books and see how to create tables of contents, indexes and documents with chapter sections. We’ll also work with tools that enhance your productivity such as data import and XML, as well as keyboard shortcuts, all application Preferences and interactivity.

Testimonials

Loved it! The course was fast-paced but fun and very informative.

M. Fox - New York, NY

My schedule as a professional photographer meant I never had the time to learn Photoshop and Lightroom to the level I wanted. After this training I feel really confident I'll be able to work faster and better after the shoot.

E. Montoro - esthermontoro.com, NY

I learned more in 2 days than I thought I could learn in a month - amazing!
