InDesign CS2 For Dummies

But I know that if I did it would make it easy for me to learn the program because these are always good

This software is much too complicated to be addressed by a "for Dummies" book. Take a class

as described

While this book has helped me to get up and running in Adobe InDesign, I am not overwhelmed by it as a resource. For one thing, it needs more screen pictures and clearer screen pictures. I also found several instances where knowlege was assumed - the editors has skipped to the conclusion of a task, without really explaining it. I guess that they assume most layout designers will know how, but for those more familiar with Microsoft products, that is not the case. Finally, the index at the back of the book is sorely lacking. I could not find many basic elements of the program listed there, so the index is not always much of a resource for jumping right to the area you need.

Exactly as expected. Using and happy.

This book, InDesign CS2 for Dummies is okay for a quick information look-up, but won't really help you learn to use the software. A better reference for learning to use InDesign CS2 is the book from Adobe Press: Adobe InDesign CS2 Classroom in a Book the official training workbook from Adobe Systems. It comes with a CD-ROM tutorial. Excellent!

This book sits next to me all day. I read it front to back and am now using it as a reference during my projects. This book is worth it if you have or plan to purchase CS2.

Perfect!!!! It was exactly what I was looking for and at a good price!

just perfect....

Having had to move from Pagemaker to In-Design CS2 I found tne new software very good but only after buying this book. Prior to that it was very difficult to get into the new software - what turns out to be intuitive wasn't until reading the "made simple" guide.
