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

We’ve traveled around the world doing InDesign training, and we’ve distilled out many of the tricks that every InDesign user should know. From essential shortcuts to automating document creation and making InDesign work for you, this session is chock-full of insider goodness that's good for you.
Working with Text and Graphics (10:30–11:15)
Learn the secrets of how the InDesign masters import and manage their text and graphics—from the fastest way to create styles to the most efficient way to layout and manipulate linked images. Explore tricks for flowing long documents, placing graphics, and formatting type in the blink of an eye.
Layout Techniques (11:30–12:15)

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 session, you’ll learn some of the most important layout techniques, including working with master pages, layers, libraries, and templates.
LUNCH ON YOUR OWN (12:15–1:45)

Troubleshooting (2:45–3:15)
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.
Free and Low-Cost Scripts, Plug-ins, and Resources (3:30–4:15)
If you’re just using the features built in to InDesign, you’re not being as efficient as you could be. Learn what free and low-cost add-ons you need to boost your productivity, automate mundane tasks, and expand on InDesign's capabilities.
Problem? Solution. (4:15–4:45)
Everyone comes to these conferences with at least one burning question about InDesign that tragically 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.
