This Advanced InDesign course specifically covers placing data from tables like Excel or Word and is ideal for people making publications with large amounts of excel data flowing through many linked tables across many pages; eg; Catalogues, Brochures, Reports, etc.
This course will make placing table-data simple, clear and easy by walking you through what can be a very complicated process. We cover everything from prepping the table data, setting up the InDesign document with the right Masters, layers and styles, placing and formatting the tables, how to allow new records in the tables to automatically appear in the InDesign publication, Creating Contents and Indexes using the syles, and finally exporting the finished publication.
IMPORTANT!
You must have completed our InDesign Level 1 course OR already have a good comprehensive working understanding of Document setup, Masters, Paragraph and Character Styles and Layers.
