Course Overview

Adobe InDesign CS4 is a powerful page layout tool used increasingly by editors, sub-editors writers and journalists. This course is designed for those who need to use InDesign solely in an editorial capacity.

The course looks at importing and formating text, working with different styles as well as how to use InDesign's many powerful built-in editorial features.

If you wish to learn the design and layout features of InDesign in detail, we would recommend that you take our two day Introduction to InDesign course.
