Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

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. However, because it has so much power and depth, sometimes the features you need are... well... kinda hidden or not really obvious.

There will be 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 accomplish the task you need right now so you can return to work. That's why this book was created: to guide you to the technique, the shortcut, or exactly the right setting, immediately.

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, and locate the task you need to complete (it's easy—each page covers just one single topic). 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 advising a friend. This way, you can quickly return to working in InDesign.

This isn't a book of theory, filled with confusing jargon and detailed multi-step concepts. How Do I Do That In InDesign is a practical manual that shows you 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, always within reach whenever you're working in InDesign, and you are going to love having this type of help right at your fingertips.
