Reviews

Adobe InDesign, QuarkXPress's page layout competitor, can integrate with other Adobe applications such as Photoshop, Acrobat, and Illustrator. With new features like the ability to import directly transparent image files from other Adobe applications and XML support, version 2.0 has spawned several guides to its use; public libraries with older books should be sure to upgrade. Visual QuickStart's extensive screenshots, clear instructions, and valuable tips make it a winner. An appendix lists keyboard shortcuts for both Windows and Mac users, and step-by-step explanations help InDesign novices quickly accomplish common tasks. Classroom includes self-paced tutorials that lead beginning users through common projects. Along with the CD's lesson files, review questions and answers in each chapter make this a useful self-study resource. [See below for a review of a guide on QuarkXPress version 5.0.DEd.]
