Hi,
We’re converting over to InDesign and things are going smoothly except for graphics. I’ve searched the forums, read the help topics, but I’m still having problems with placing and arranging graphics. Coming from FrameMaker, manipulating graphics in InDesign just seems too difficult and time-consuming.
I’m looking for an InDesign expert who can charge me for an hour or two of their time to answer some questions about how I’m placing graphics and give me guidance on the best methods to use.
Can anyone suggest a good resource for this?
Thanks -

Jonathan, can you say more about what is difficult about placing and managing graphics? If you have a Lynda.com/LinkedInLearning subscription, you could watch some of my movies about the topic:
InDesign CC Essential Training
or
InDesign Insider Training: Working with Photoshop and Illustrator
or others. -

Hi David,
I do have a Lynda.com account and I’ve watched the training topics, but I’m still running into trouble with grouping graphics with accompanying text frames, arranging text frames in front of graphics, anchoring graphics to text, and wrapping text properly. When it’s a simple placing of one graphic, there’s no real problem, but when it’s graphics and text that work together, I’m having some problems. I’d really like to show an expert how I’m doing things and get suggestions for how my process could be improved. I’m going to be responsible for showing 2 other new users how to do this in a few weeks. I’m already setting them up to take your InDesign Essentials training on Lynda.com, but I need to understand this issue so I can help them when the issue comes up for them.
Thanks -

Hi, I have a book of 178 pages

What is the shortest way?
Thank you!-

Mary: We talked about scaling documents in this podcast: https://creativepro.com/podcasts/podcast-237
(spoiler alert: it’s not as easy as you’d hope)
