InDesign CC (2014 release)
Classroom in a Book®, the best-selling series of hands-on
software training workbooks, offers what no other book or training
program does—an official training series from Adobe Systems
Incorporated, developed with the support of Adobe product
experts.
Adobe InDesign CC Classroom in a Book contains 16 lessons that
cover the basics, providing countless tips and techniques to help
you become more productive with the program. You can follow the
book from start to finish or choose only those lessons that
interest you.
In addition to learning the key elements of the InDesign interface,
this completely revised CC (2014 release) edition covers new
features, including rows and columns in tables, dual PDF and IDML
file packaging, fixed and reflow EPUBs, and major improvements in
the way text and graphics are handled during EPUB export.
Purchasing this book gives you access to the downloadable lesson
files you need to work through the projects in the book, and to
electronic book updates covering new features that Adobe releases
for Creative Cloud customers. For access, goto

“The Classroom in a Book series is by far the best training
material on the market. Everything you need to master the software
