This is fantastic. Soothing voice and straight to the point. I can tell the instructor knows exactly what she's doing. I wish it was a little slower to follow, as a beginner in InDesign, because I spent most of my time pausing and rewinding. But, the repetition of doing and hearing everything over and over again, was quite helpful.
11:18 Tip: For anyone completely new to this, to move the elements from the images layer to the copy layer, click on the green square in the layers panel for the images layer and drag it down to the copy layer
Ya, I agree as well. I'm about midway through, and even I am not trying to learn anything from her, it's starting to piss me off because I have to keep rewinding, because there's no way to keep up!!!
I was assigned the responsibility of implementing a monthly newsletter for the company I work for. This video was very informative for learning many of the basic skills and concepts. It took longer for me to follow the steps because I had to pause & rewind the video many times. Also, I think my version of Indesign has changed slightly since this video was uploaded. Just the same, I learned a lot and appreciate the time you spent making this tutorial. Now that I have the template laid out and saved for future use if I were to change my unit measures from centimeters to inches, would that change my layout? Thanks again!!
15:53 on the inner pages I hit shift command but I cannot edit the section title. It is surrounded by red dots and the red border is still showing on these pages. How can I access this and edit? I read the how to guide and replayed and I can’t find where I messed up. Much appreciated
Great tutorial! I am following your instructions as you speak, however, I'm a beginner, and I'm getting stuck when you say Shift+Option, what key is Option?

This video is horrible for a beginner. I kept pausing and rewinding the video. The presenter speaks entirely TOO fast! Great video for someone who has knowledge of ID
