Adobe^® InDesign^® software sets new standards for professional layout and design. It integrates with other Adobe applications - Adobe Photoshop^® and Adobe Illustrator^® better than any other page layout product. From the moment you launch InDesign, you'll feel right at home because of shared commands, palettes, tool, and keyboard shortcuts. Plus it helps you make the switch by opening QuarkXPress^® and Adobe PageMaker^® documents.

InDesign also delivers intuitive features that free you to be more creative. Undo and redo multiple steps. Apply editable drop shadows, feathering, and other transparency effects. Produce elegant typography automatically. Design sophisticated tables, or import styled Microsoft Word and Excel tables. To manage long documents, group related files into a flexible book list. Then number pages sequentially and easily generate tables of contents and indexes.

When you're ready to print, achieve precise, reliable results using a streamlined new printing interface. And prepare content for publication anywhere-in print, in Adobe PDF Format, as eBooks, on the Web, and more-using robust, built-in support for XML import and export and other cross-media features.
