What a spectacular program for professional publishing, and the
solution for creating graphics intensive documents. Adobe InDesign
gives you the creative freedom, productivity, and precision needed
to design superior pages. Offering many powerful new features and
enhancements, Adobe InDesign 1.5 is a major step forward in Adobe's
professional publishing solution, and the natural path for professional-level
PageMaker® users to take. Adobe InDesign allows a designer to
maintain complete control over layout and typography, or a production
artist can maintain precise graphic standards. InDesign provides
you with the industrial-strength support you might need.
InDesign is an extremely capable design and production tool with
unparalleled precision and control and seamless integration with
Adobe's professional graphics applications, including Adobe Photoshop
and Adobe Illustrator. It responds to special requirements in enhancements
and customization with plug in software from Adobe and other vendors.
Adobe InDesign is capable of producing professional-quality full-color
output on high-volume color printing presses, and also supports
a wide range of output devices and formats such as desktop printers,
PDF files, and HTML files.

Installation with the Adobe InDesign CD was simple. I printed the
read-me files and the Tutorial INDESIGN. The information took me
through the process of setting up the document and introduced all
phases of constructing a 24-page document. Through trial and error
I managed to complete the project. The enclosed Adobe InDesign User
Guide is filled with photos and gives you another Quick Tour of
instructions and photos on setting up the masters and a description
of the available tools and palettes. The package includes a handy
Quick Reference Card listing the Tool Bars and Toolbox Shortcut,
Links, Swatches, Transform, Color, Character and Paragraph Styles
Palettes and etc. International Customer Support is available. Free
technical information online and a complimentary phone support to
registered owners.
It is a large program but doesn't list the requirements needed.
Apparently you learn this upon installation process when you read
the Read Me Files. The market list price was not included in the
package. I checked the website and found the special listing below.
Happy Publishing!!
