Join us for a free-form discussion of InDesign! We’ll have a panel discuss their favorite tips and tricks, great plug-ins, and new tidbits for InDesign CS5. We’ll also open up the floor to questions and those nagging little “I can’t seem to…” situations. The format will be fairly free-form, so come ready to ask questions and interact with other members of the Denver group! You need to be a member, which is free. It’s also free to attend the meetings. Please register ahead of time at the Adobe InDesign User Group page so we have an accurate head count. Hope to see you all there!

Our next meeting will be on Tuesday, June 1st at Front Range Community College (Snowy Peaks Room). Topics will be:
POWER STYLES
Still confused about styles? When to use a character style instead of a paragraph style? How to automate application of styles? If these issues have been bugging you, you don’t want to miss our “Power Styles” session at our upcoming meeting. IDUG Denver Co-Chair Erica Gamet will lead you step-by-step through setting up styles in a document, including working with the elusive Next Style function and incorporating Nested Styles, and using GREP to automate and customize styles even further. If styles and their importance confuse you, don’t miss this how-to session!
GETTING A GRIP ON GREP
Does the mere mention of the foreign-sounding GREP send your heart racing? Do you just pretend it doesn’t exist or think it’s over your head? As a designer, you owe it to yourself to discover ways of using GREP with imported text and text you create yourself. Whether you end up creating GREP expressions on your own, or use the built-in options, you’ll wonder why you waited so long to explore the world of GREP.
Remember you can email us at: admin@idugdenver.net and check out Adobe’s InDesign User Group site to register for the meeting. See you soon!

Meeting Wrap-Up:
Our last meeting on April 13th was all about checking out the new features of CS5. Brian Reyman showed us some of the big new features like Multiple Page Sizes and the ability to preview interactive elements right in InDesign. He also went over many of the little enhancements to existing features. It was a great overview and preview to the next CS version.
In other news…
Some of the members have suggested having a place on the chapter Web site where job and freelance opportunities could be posted. If people are interested, and will be active participants, I would be glad to set that up. Please leave a comment below and let me know if that would be of interest. Also…what else would you like to see? We have had a user-to-user forum that got little use. That could also be re-started. Finally, a few people (6) said at the meeting that they would be interested in a business card exchange. Let me know if you would be interested in that as well. If there are enough people we can set that up. Otherwise, doing an online directory might make more sense.
Please leave a comment to let me know. You’ll have to be approved the first time, but your comments will be posted immediately after that. Or send an email to admin@idugdenver.net. I want to hear from you on how to improve the group and communications outside of the regular meetings.
–Erica Gamet, IDUG Denver Co-Chair
