Chapter 1. Workspace

Come on in! Let us show you around. We’ll be your tour guides to the world of InDesign. We’re here to tell you what’s what, what’s where, and how it fits together. This chapter is all about InDesign’s user interface—the myriad windows, panels, menus, and other gadgets InDesign displays on your screen. It tells you what they all are, and what we call them.

This chapter also contains lots of tips and tricks for working with InDesign’s user interface. These are the “little things” that make all the difference between enjoying and hating the time you spend working with InDesign (or any other program, for that matter). We’ll get you up to speed with all of these new tools so that you can get on with your work.
