Produce pages quickly and output them more reliably with Adobe® InDesign®  CS. By combining extraordinary production power and creative freedom with innovative cross-media support, Adobe®  InDesign® CS takes page design to a whole new level.

Long time VTC author, Brian White, covers the application’s many tools, page setup, creating and importing tables, text and image manipulation, previewing and printing, and much, much, more. Due to its tight integration with Adobe Photoshop®, Illustrator® ,and Acrobat®  software, Adobe®  InDesign®  CS is an essential upgrade from InDesign®  2.0
