  10 Tricks Every InDesign User Needs to Know (9:00–10:15)

  Here are ten tricks that every InDesign user should know (but few people do). From essential shortcuts to formatting imported text and graphics quickly, this session is chock-full o’ jewels that are good (and good for you, too).

  Text and Graphics (10:30–11:15)

  Learn how the InDesign masters import and manage their text and graphics—from the fastest way to apply styles to the most efficient way to control transparency and linked images. Explore tricks for flowing long documents, anchoring images to text, and formatting type in the blink of an eye.

  Layout Techniques (11:30–11:45)

  Creating an InDesign document is like constructing a building—if you don’t know how to build a firm foundation, the whole thing could come tumbling down. In this short session, you’ll learn some of the most important layout techniques, including working with master pages, layout adjustment, guides, and alignment.

• Suitcase Fusion 3: Typography Without Limits

   
  

  Design today requires the ability to work across different applications and media types. Font selections, however, rarely translate to the web or are easy to quickly look through to try something new or find a complementary option for consistent branding across all media.

  Extensis will show you how Suitcase Fusion 3 can be used as a central clearinghouse for fonts, wherever you use them. See how effective font management can help you achieve brand consistency with your designs in Adobe InDesign CS5, whatever the target output: print or web.

• InDesign, Photoshop, and Illustrator: Put ’Em Together (1:30–2:15)

• If you use Illustrator and/or Photoshop alongside InDesign, you have to see this session. Find out the best way to make these programs work together, including ensuring maximum quality while maintaining maximum flexibility.

  Troubleshooting (2:30–3:15)

• InDesign is a very robust program, but everyone has troubles sooner or later. Learn how to manage when the application acts odd, your document freaks out, or you just can’t figure out why something is happening. The fix is usually not as hard as you fear.

  InDesign and Interactivity (3:30–4:15)
  

  InDesign is the world’s greatest print layout tool, but did you know that it’s quickly becoming the leading platform for producing emedia content like interactive PDFs and ePubs? InDesign CS5 even lets you export your document for viewing with the Adobe Flash Player! In this session, you’ll learn how to build interactive documents that engage your audience with not just the beautiful layout and stunning typography for which InDesign is known, but also with video, audio, animation, hyperlinks, buttons and much more!

• Problem? Solution. (4:15–4:45)

• Everyone comes to these conferences with at least one burning question about InDesign that doesn’t get addressed during the day. Here’s your chance to ask that question, and learn something from the answers to your colleague’s questions.
