How to Build an Org Chart From a List in InDesign
Learn an easy way to automate creating an org chart in InDesign.
In this InDesign “Three Minutes Max” video, Julie Shaffer shows how to quickly create an org chart using a list of information. She explains how to use the hidden Gridify feature to create linked text frames, then explains how using the Next Style function styles all the text in the chart with one click.
Three Minutes Max comes from a fun—yet very competitive—session at our annual CreativePro Week conference. Speakers have three minutes (max!) to wow the audience with the tip and win a prize for a lucky conference attendee.
