Your site is a wealth of helpful information! Thank you so much. I recently decided to take the plunge and learn InDesign. Thanks for the heads up that it is a bear – I’m getting that same sense but with time and helpful sites like this, I’m sure it is doable.

You are completely correct about the learning curve. Have worked in old time print shops for 2 years (hot lead type and all), I have some familiarity with text on a page. InDesign is a bear to learn. I have learned it, though not mastered it. I will be self-pubbing my first book (I am already traditionally published) this fall. I decided to tackle InDesign so I could be master of my own book destiny. Done. It’s worth it, but VERY frustrating along the way, and NOT intuitive at all. I love your blog and am devouring as many articles as I can. Thanks.
