  Text and Graphics (10:30–11:15)
  

  Learn how to work with text and graphics like a "Power Pro" —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.

  Creating an InDesign document is like building a house—if you don’t know how to start with a firm foundation, the whole thing can come tumbling down.

  • 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.

  Creating Interactive PDFs (2:30–3:15)

• Learn how to make effective PDFs that include interactivity. We'll look at features in both InDesign CS4 and CS5 that allow you to create PDF documents with compelling features, including automatically generated bookmarks, hyperlinks and navigation.

• Making it Move: Interactivity and Creating SWFs in InDesign (3:30–4:15)

• We'll continue exploring InDesign's features for adding interactivity to documents, focusing on new features in CS5 that allow motion animation, timelines and multiple object states.
