If you’re trying to do anything in InDesign, chances are, you’ll need a Panel of some sort to make things work properly. The Gradient Tool, for example, is pretty worthless without the Gradient Panel and the Swatches Panel. It’s the same with the Notes Tool…without the Notes Panel, it’s worthless.

In this episode we’re not explaining all of the many Panels in InDesign. No, we’re talking about how Panels work so you can get the most out of them. Some are simple, but others have some complexities that can trip up even veteran users.

So here we go, we’re going to talk about:

• Where to find the Panels
• The difference between Panels and Dialogue Boxes
• Using Panel Menus
• Using the Icons
• The hidden options on some menus
• Nesting and unnesting Panels
• Moving Panels around
• Workspaces overview
• The Control Panel Menu
• and more stuff
  

I would go so far to say that Panels are at the heart of InDesign's anatomy and we MUST understand how they work to be successful as graphic artists.

So come along and enjoy this Episode on Panels and see for yourself how understanding how they work can change the way YOU work.
