This is a short guide to getting the most
basic changes done in your downloaded
Indesign document. For more in-depth
Indesign tips and training, please search
online for Indesign video tutorials.
Or get an account at
Lynda.com
— I can
highly recommend their online video
courses. They have extensive video tuto-
rials, in for example “Indesign Essential
Training”.
Please note:
This help file is a general file I have made
for my Indesign templates. The shown
screenshots are not necessarily the same
colors and images as in your downloaded
Indesign file, however the steps and things
to do are the same.
Please also note:
The exact placement of the functions
in Indesign might vary, depending on
which version of Indesign you are using.
These screenshots are from Indesign CS 6.
