Master pages serve as the foundation for InDesign documents that are more than a few pages in length. You can use master pages to maintain consistency throughout your document and work more efficiently. If you plan to create only short documents, such as one-pages sales sheets or two-page flyers, you may want to skip over this lesson and go to Lesson 3, “Working with Text and Type.”

Tables are an effective way to convey large amounts of data in an organized manner. Whether you import a table from Microsoft Word or Excel, or build a new one using InDesign, you can use many powerful methods for designing impressive, professional-looking tables. After designing a table, you can save all the attributes as a style and quickly apply those attributes to another table with just one click using table styles.

Using color for text, frames, and paths is a basic task in InDesign. The more ways you know how to apply, change, and control color, the faster you can work. Color choices are not limited to picking from the small selection that appears in the Swatches panel. You can create your own colors, gradients, and tints, as well as choose from a number of swatch libraries, such as Pantone colors, that are supplied for you within InDesign.

You can use Photoshop-like effects directly in your InDesign documents. You can apply effects such as Inner Shadow, Outer and Inner Glow, Bevel and Emboss, and Gradient Feather to objects in InDesign. In this lesson, you will discover how to modify the appearance of images, objects, and text using a sampling of the effects.

Although the lessons so far have used single, small documents as examples, InDesign can manage complex, book-length documents, and maintain consistency across multiple files. The software’s advanced document features enable you to add dynamic text, cross-reference and index information, and synchronize many files at once.
