Training Course Summary:

Although PageMaker offers fine control over typography, page layout, colors, and printing, not all of its features are on the surface, so you may be missing out on the best ways to create professional-caliber publications. At its core, this course teaches you how to manage complicated layouts more efficiently. This includes learning more effective ways to work with graphics and type, as well as techniques to establish trapping in a document so colors print the way you want. In addition, you will learn techniques for working with long documents, such as linking documents together in a book and creating a table of contents and indexes. Lastly, you will learn to easily import and export HTML from PageMaker documents.
