Part IV

Text Essentials

In this part . . .

Getting words on the page is an important part of

what you do with InDesign. After you have the words

in place, you’ll want to tweak the letters and lines, and the

space between them, to make your pages sparkle.

This part shows you how to arrange words on the page,

including words made up of exotic characters. You find

out how to set text in columns and how to add bullets and

numbers to that text. You also discover how to stretch,

squeeze, rotate, and add special effects to text.

Additionally, you see how to become skilled at using character and paragraph styles to make your life easier and to speed up your publishing workflow.
