InDesign CS for Mac and Windows

InDesign CS for Mac and Windows
Even though the illustrations you will see here show the Mac version of InDesign CS, these lessons will hold also for Windows users. Some icons might look slightly different, but you will be able to recognize them in either platform. Open InDesign when you study this course and actually go through the steps described so you don't get lost while you are studying. This course is written for Adobe InDesign CS. If you are using an earlier version of InDesign some menus will appear or act somewhat differently and some CS features may be unavailable in InDesign
