A knowledge of styles is essential for InDesign users who need to improve their workflow, eliminate repetitive tasks, and produce more efficient and consistent work. InDesign Styles have evolved to become the core of the application when it comes to automating text, object and table formatting. Styles also reach out to influence and enable dozens of other features, from small-scale features like Bulleted and Numbered Lists all the way through cross-media export to XHTML.
A true understanding of the far-reaching potential of styles can transform how design and production professionals approach and accomplish every project, small or large. Adopting a style-centric workflow can reduce tasks that would take days to mere hours, and tasks that would take hours to minutes or even seconds. As the only book exclusively focused on Styles, Adobe InDesign CS4 Styles takes a detailed, step-by-step look at the creation and implementation of styles, and then provides a big-picture perspective for combining styles with other features for increased efficiency, accuracy and flexibility.
The 256-page book is written by Michael Murphy, a friend of CreativePro.com and our sister publication, InDesign Magazine. His clear, concise prose helps you understand even the most convoluted of topics.
You can pre-order the book from Amazon.com for a discount.
