Book Reviews of AdobeŽ PageMakerŽ 7.0 Classroom in a Book
Book Review: Very good starter's book
Summary: 5 Stars
I really like this book. I think that the best way to start to learn a complex piece of software, like Pagemaker, is too get your feet wet using 'real world' exercises. And that is exactly what this book offers you. It may be true that you do not always know exactly what you are doing when you step through the nice lessons in the book, because not every step is explained in detail, but that is not so important. When you have finished all the lessons, you know very well what Pagemaker has to offer, and you are ready to make your own brochures, letters, booklets, during which you will learn all the details of every Pagemaker feature using the help or a reference book. This book is not (and not meant to be) a reference book, use the Complete Reference or the Visual Quick Start guide instead, but it gets you started in a very good and pleasant way.
It may also be true that some fonts may not be present on the CD-Rom, but everyone who has used a computer once in a while must be able to locate them elsewhere (in Pagemaker's directory for instance!!!).
Last, but absolutely not least, this book shows you some very nice examples of well designed DTP publications, they will inspire you!
If you want to learn Pagemaker, do not hesitate, buy this book, it does what it promises.
Summary of AdobeŽ PageMakerŽ 7.0 Classroom in a Book
It's been over four years since the last release of Adobe PageMaker, and long-awaited version 7 is finally available! This page layout program now offers loads of new features, including a new simplified workflow with Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, and added integration with popular business tools such as Microsoft Word, QuarkXPress, and more. PageMaker 7.0 also features integrated Portable Document Format (PDF) creation tools, as well as new data merge capabilities that use images and text exported from databases -- enabling PageMaker 7.0 to assist in direct mail pieces, for example. PageMaker is ideal for educators, business professionals, small office/home office users, and anyone wanting to create professional-quality documents such as brochures, newsletters, flyers, business reports, and more. Adobe PageMaker 7.0 Classroom in a Book is a self-paced learning course in a hands-on workbook. It offers complete training based on real-life projects, organized by chapter. Practical, focused lessons are designed to fit into busy schedules and teach the ins and outs of PageMaker quickly and easily.This cross-platform book contains a CD-ROM with specially created files and images, so readers can work through the lessons and projects at their own pace.As with each entry in the Classroom in a Book series, this one is used as part of Adobe's official training and certification program. Adobe PageMaker 7.0 Classroom in a Book (With CD-ROM) offers practical, step-by-step, timed lessons covering all of Pagemaker's features and tools and ensures that readers master the application. In addition, it provides clear explanations on how and why things work the way they do and supplies elegantly professional artwork on which to practice.
Each lesson is well organized, from the opening rundown of what will be covered to the final chapter review, complete with quiz questions (and answers). Projects are the sort of practical challenges that most desktop publishers face today: flyer, letterhead, project proposal, CD jewel-case booklet, brochure, print and Web-based newsletters, color catalog, and more. You learn how to work with master pages, styles, and inline graphics and how to format a sidebar and use the story editor.
Each project also addresses real-world practicalities like spot colors, trapping, registration, bleeds, and other prepress issues. Understanding how each of these affects your print piece will be invaluable when it's time to talk with your printer. In addition, readers learn how to format and generate an index and a table of contents and how to use the version 7.0-enhanced Export PDF command.
One of the more compact books in this series, Adobe PageMaker 7.0 Classroom in a Book won't leave readers buried under excessively detailed projects. There's no wasted space and the trim, to-the-point text makes it enjoyable to work through the exercises while learning the software. Whether you use Pagemaker casually or as a daily part of your workload, you'll definitely want to pick this one up. --Angelynn Grant
