Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This software is much too complicated to be addressed by a “for Dummies” book. Take a class

⭐as described

⭐But I know that if I did it would make it easy for me to learn the program because these are always good

⭐Perfect!!!! It was exactly what I was looking for and at a good price!

⭐While this book has helped me to get up and running in Adobe InDesign, I am not overwhelmed by it as a resource. For one thing, it needs more screen pictures and clearer screen pictures. I also found several instances where knowlege was assumed – the editors has skipped to the conclusion of a task, without really explaining it. I guess that they assume most layout designers will know how, but for those more familiar with Microsoft products, that is not the case. Finally, the index at the back of the book is sorely lacking. I could not find many basic elements of the program listed there, so the index is not always much of a resource for jumping right to the area you need.

⭐I started a new job in January and wasn’t told that part of it would involve working with InDesign. Knowing nothing about that program, I immediately ordered my trusty “Dummies series” book – it’s taught me everything from raising a Golden Retriever to Tarot Cards! Needless to say, the InDesign book didn’t fail me. All the basics were there. The only problem was that sometimes I didn’t know what to look up in the index because I wasn’t sure what the process was called. Other than that, it was and continues to be a great resource!

⭐Exactly as expected. Using and happy.

⭐This book, InDesign CS2 for Dummies is okay for a quick information look-up, but won’t really help you learn to use the software. A better reference for learning to use InDesign CS2 is the book from Adobe Press: Adobe InDesign CS2 Classroom in a Book the official training workbook from Adobe Systems. It comes with a CD-ROM tutorial. Excellent!

⭐Having had to move from Pagemaker to In-Design CS2 I found tne new software very good but only after buying this book. Prior to that it was very difficult to get into the new software – what turns out to be intuitive wasn’t until reading the “made simple” guide.

⭐just perfect….
