Two New Lynda.com Titles for InDesign Users
Just a quick note to let you know that Lynda.com has published two new titles of interest to InDesign users:
- InDesign CS4: 10 Free Must-Have Plugins. In this short title, I demonstrate ten of my favorite (free!) plug-ins, including AutoFit, Sudoku Generator, and (of course) PatternMaker. The whole thing takes only a half-hour, so it’s perfect to watch while eating lunch sometime.
- InDesign CS4: 10 Essential Tips. In this title, I show 10 techniques that I think every InDesign user needs to know, including tricks for cleaning up text after you import it and troubleshooting documents. This one is also less than an hour, so it’s easy to digest quickly.
If you’re a lynda.com subscriber, you can watch all the movies as part of your subscription. If you’re not yet a subscriber, you can watch the intro and a couple of the movies to whet your appetite.
I hope you enjoy them! Stay tuned… in the next week or two we’ll post the links to two more lynda.com titles I presented (one on 10 Free Scripts that everyone needs to know about, and one on 10 things you need to know about GREP).
The 10 Essential Tips link above gives a missing web page error.
The Lynda.com address is for those lessons is:

Loved the video podcast and hope you can keep them up. Seeing makes a big difference.
Thanks, Mike! I fixed the link above.
Just watched the two video sets. Good stuff. I learned a few new shortcuts, but those plugins are just phenomenal. Thanks!
Coolest! (Both concept and execution: Hope lynda does MANY more of these tips/cool add-ons courses!)
Top question: David: What’s that spiffy headset/mic you’re using? I want one!
Great tips! Thanks to David and lynda.com for these top 10 videos. I look forward to watching the ‘10 Free Scripts’ and GREP videos too.
I was most impressed with the way that David appears to have travelled to the future to make the videos. When showing the ‘Component Information’ in the troubleshooting video, the dialog says the file was created June 13, 2009!!
Can you travel a bit further and tell us what will be in CS5?
