Best Transition Book Ever

This book is a great transition book from QuarkXPress to InDesign! They are two completely different systems to switch from butd the book makes it easy to do. I recommend this to everyone. And even better, buy a used book, you'll see someone else's highlights which helps find the important stuff.

Worth the money and your time ...

I have read author David Blatner's book on quark and being very familar with that program, I found his book on moving to indesign immensely helpful. You get great tips on how to do things that you have already established in your quark workflow. The index is well organized and a quick reference.

It Moved Me!

As always with a Blatner book, this guide delivers exactly what it says it will. I was up and running in InDesign in no time and continue to reference its succinct text as I work. I recommend this to anyone who knows Xpress and wants to get InDesign going in a hurry.

For all the switchers to InDesign

Many or those who switch to Adobe InDesign from QuarkXpress or PageMaker these days. Those who do might not need a book about everything that InDesign is and is able to do. What they need is a book about the differences in techniques between the applications. Then this book is a good choice. It compares how things were done in QuarkXpress or PageMaker to how it is done in InDesign. If you also want to dig a bit deeper into InDesign you buy both this book and Real World InDesign CS. If you only want to get started and get over the obstacles with changing to new application that in principle does what you have done for years in that other application, but in another way than what you are used to, you chose this book. I warmly recommend this book, and I use it in courses for switchers to InDesign.
