InDesign Case Study: Long documents with complex formatting

July 8, 2021, at 6 pm – 8 pm,  join the Austin Adobe User Group online for our monthly free meetings. These meetings are free. We’ll be on the usual address for Zoom. If you need it, please contact austinadobegroupmgr@gmail.com.

InDesign is the world-leading publication layout program for all kinds of colorful and visually rich publications, from a single business card to brochures, posters, magazines, newspapers, textbooks, and on and on.

InDesign is also packed with features for text-intensive documents that require little or no graphics, but instead, rely on typography and structure to organize the contents in a reader-friendly manner.

During this presentation, graphic designer and InDesign expert Tom Berglie will introduce us to a real-world project that was recently published. The publication is an application manual that uses features like multilevel text styling, tables, text variables, footnotes, cross-references, and multiple tables of contents, in order to accommodate a complex structure that is still easy to navigate for the reader.

  • Tom Berglie is an Adobe Certified Instructor with more than 25 years of experience in publishing, as a graphic designer, writer, and photographer. He’s been teaching Adobe software including InDesign, Photoshop, and Acrobat for more than a decade and is also an experienced textbook author and translator. Tom relocated from Norway to Texas in 2014 and is now running his own design business and teaching , B-learning Live, out of Austin, along with full-time engagement as a software translator.
