The real-world exercises in this course are designed to train beginning Adobe InDesign users in the program—from fundamental features to powerful layout and output skills. This course also enables experienced InDesign users to elevate their skills, understand best practices, and learn about new features – including the ability to browse fonts visually, use Content Aware Fit for intelligent image placement, use Layout Adjust to automatically adjust layout when changing page sizes, and quickly access common controls in the Properties panel.
