Adobe InDesign CS4 is a page-layout software that takes print publishing and
page design beyond current boundaries. Replacing popular software such as
PageMaker and Quark Express, InDesign is a desktop publishing program that
incorporates illustration capabilities into its interface. It also allows for cross
platform interaction with Illustrator, Photoshop, and Acrobat.
NOTE:
This tutorial is fairly comprehensive in that it discusses the most common
aspects of InDesign and has been developed to take beginners through the
software from start to finish.
