Now it's time to get our hands a little dirty by digging deeper into InDesign. In this course you'll learn more advanced techniques and tools, as well as some ways to automate things you do on a daily basis.
Once you begin to apply what you've learned here, you'll see your productivity increase and you'll have more time for the fun stuff: designing and creating.
Some of what you'll learn includes:
• How to use gridify to build photo pages in a second
• How gridify can duplicate existing page elements perfectly, and quickly
• How to set up your file formats so InDesign can edit linked files faster
• Using the magic of Content Collector and Placer Tools to copy items from one page, or document, to the next
• How the Content Placer tool can link page items from one page, or document, to another
• How to let InDesign create captions, even formatted, automatically
So roll up your sleeves and get your notepad handy as we dive deeper into InDesign to unlock more power.
If you think you're fast at building photo pages in InDesign, but don't know Gridify...I'll race you!

Do you spend way too much time creating captions/cutlines under photos? You're not alone. See how InDesign's Captions feature, and some trickery, can automate your work.
