In this Three Minutes Max video, Nigel French shows how to create a clever, vertical timeline in InDesign. By carefully setting up indents, paragraph rules and borders, and paragraph and object styles, he is able to automate creating the timeline with just 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.
