From the Inside Flap

Foreword

InDesign opens a new chapter in Adobe's publishing strategy. We have spent over five years crafting an architecture and implementing features that will take us and the design community into the next century.

Really great tools allow the designer to create anything that the imagination can conceive, and make the hopelessly complex task seem simple.

We believe that InDesign is a tool that does both.
