I would love to learn how to use InDesign, but I am not sure where would be a good place to take it (like "New Horizons" etc.)?

Thanks,
Natalie

You might try the MacProfessionals and also there are a couple people in the group that teach it one-on-one.

If you are a "book" person, here are 2 suggestions:

1.The Adobe "Classroom in a Book" series is very good, because they use a "hands-on" tutorial type of presentation and include CD's with sample files for sample projects. (Try a search for "InDesign" on Amazon, or the Adobe bookstore site. If you have purchased InDesign, the package may have a coupon for a discount on CIB books at Adobe.)

2. For MUCH more detail, - also with a CD & project tutorial approach - look up a Deke McClelland book. I have "Adobe InDesign CS One-on-One," but I think there is an updated version for CS2. CD also includes some Total Training video with McClelland showing various features.
-Published by O'Reilly

These books list in the $45-$50 range. May be able to find them discounted somewhere on the web.

You can find many self-paced tutorials on adobe.com, and the best part is that they are FREE! You might also try attending this local InDesign user group... http://www.indesignusergroup.com/

Thank you all--excellent suggestions. Now there is no excuse for me not to know InDesign!

There is also an Adobe Certified InDesign Expert who
teaches InDesign, who sits at the Genius Table.
(Shameless plug.)

let me know what you charge Chita

Another alternative is lynda.com. http://lynda.com/

You can try some of the lessons for free on that site. I have been a member for one year now and just renewed because of the revolutionary CS3 package just announced. The lessons are given by recognized experts in each of the different disciplines.

You can watch each video and absorb the information at your own pace. You can also go back after practicing what you learned and review. I've learned a lot from the site and think the money is well spent.

Haney teaches InDesign?

Bzzt! Dave doesn't sit at the Genius Table, he sits at the Genius Bar.

Thanks for playing. You don't win the washer-dryer, but you do get the home version of our game.

(Yes I saw the smiley!)

Thanks Alex ---

I will take the category "Mis Placed Faces" for 100.00

Wow, how could I mix up Dave and Chita ... one of them is taller in heels.

...whoa ...look at the time....gotta go!

Show up at the meeting and I think I know how misplaced *your* face might get! < g>

He may not make it to the meeting...

Calvin,

Please.... I'm a Quark User. That and I am no where near as Attractive as Ms. Hunter
Besides, she looks much better in heels!

Jack,

I STAND at the Genius Bar, I wish I could sit there.

Chita,

You know something I don't???

Hey, you never know if lighting will strike from the sky...
or behind...

Dave,

They make you guys *stand* all day? How silly.

When one is a user of a truly great machine...one must STAND for something.

If "7 stands for Detroit"

then

"Dave stands for Apple"

and that's my Last Stand.
