This two-day, hands-on, instructor-led course, is the first in a series of two courses, students will be shown step-by-step the key techniques for working in InDesign. This class includes a thorough review of the InDesign interface including how to use tools and panels, and how to customize and save workspaces. You will learn how to set up documents and save document presets, and navigate and zoom in and out as needed as you work on layouts.

You will also learn how to format text and paragraphs, and how to create and apply Paragraph and Character Styles.
