The heart of a DTP product is typography, for which InDesign is second to none. There is fine control over drop capitals, kerning, tracking, justification and scaling. OpenType fonts offer advanced features like contextual alternative characters, which automatically inserts ligatures or other special glyphs according to their place within a word. The Paragraph composer optimises spacing and hyphenation for an entire paragraph, retrospectively re-formatting earlier lines as you type. A great feature is that imported graphics remain editable. For example, InDesign has its own excellent tools for drawing shapes and paths, so you can take in an Illustrator drawing and continue to work on it. The transparency options not only lets you control opacity but also offers special effects like drop shadows, feathering, and multiple blending modes such as soft or hard light. InDesign has complete support for professional printing standards, but Adobe also provides on cross-media choices, such as PDF, HTML and SVG, which is an emerging standard for Web graphics. There is also an option to import, export and edit XML, with exciting possibilities for repurposing content. InDesign 2.0 is ideal for magazines, advertisements and brochures. For books or manuals, something like Adobe FrameMaker is a better choice. It is strong competition for the market-leading Quark XPress, and the fact that its system requirements are heavier is perhaps balanced by the fact InDesign is half the price of Quark. Convenience features like multiple undo and redo make InDesign a pleasure to use. Creativity in print has never been easier. --Tim Anderson InDesign 2.0 is all about creative page layout. A high-end desktop publishing product, it is aimed squarely at professional designers who need maximum flexibility alongside strong document management and support for industry standards. Eye-catching features like transparency and blending are combined with more mundane, but important, abilities such as table of contents and index generation, to make this a more complete and rounded product than earlier versions. It also benefits from integration with other Adobe products such as Photoshop, Illustrator, GoLive and Acrobat. Adobe maintains a consistent user interface across the range, easing the learning process. Read more InDesign 2.0
