InDesign and Word are like the Godzilla and King Kong of layout and word processing, and like those legendary behemoths, the two applications don’t always get along. And when they don’t, look out! Your sanity—and your deadlines—can crumble like a cardboard model of Tokyo.
Fortunately, Anne-Marie Concepción knows how to make InDesign and Word place nice together and that’s exactly what she does in her Lynda.com course, Using Word and InDesign Together.
Among the free sample videos from the course that you can check out are the following:
Cleaning up text formatting in Word
