We start off 2010 at our February 2nd meeting by digging into some great features of InDesign CS4.
Barbara Binder, InDesign trainer and owner of Rocky Mountain Training, your online Adobe training source, will be giving our opening presentation. Sure you know how to create paragraph rules above and below a paragraph (right?), but now let’s make them fun! Check out some creative uses of the Paragraph Rules dialog box and walk away with some new ideas to spice up your documents.
After the break, we’ll have our live auction. Don’t forget to check our auction website (auction.idugdenver.net) about a week before the meeting to see what will be up for auction. More information on how the auction works is also on the site.
The second presentation, “Best Features You’re Not Using,” presented by Erica Gamet (IDUG Co-Chair) will focus on some of the hidden gems of InDesign CS4. Some of the best new features in a software release don’t get the attention they deserve. We’ll shed a little light on a few of these.
REMEMBER: You need to be a member (which is free) and register ahead of time for the meeting at the Adobe site by clicking here. We hope to see all of you on Tuesday, February 2nd!

Posted in December 2009, Meeting Wrap-Up
We had a great meeting on Dec. 1, combining our meeting with our 3rd Annual IDUG Denver Holiday Party.
At the meeting on Dec. 1, we played a game we like to call “Jeop-ID” that tested our members’ knowledge of InDesign. We went without buzzers or noisemakers this year and assigned silly sounds to them as their buzz-in noise. Our five brave contestants did well, won a few prizes, and, I hope, that everyone enjoyed it. Some of us were just glad that we weren’t standing up in front of the group trying to answer the questions…they weren’t always easy!
We held our auction in silent format this time around. Several of you put bids in on items and we cleared out our 2009 inventory. Thanks to everyone who bid. Remember, if you have suggestions for future items that we could feasibly have donated, please let us know and we’ll see what we can do.
Our next meeting is going to be on February 2nd, at the usual time of 6 p.m. Remember, we do a networking/meet and greet segment from 6-6:30, with the meeting itself getting started promptly at 6:30. To register (and join, both free), please use the Adobe InDesign User Group website.
Mogo Media’s InDesign Seminar Tour is coming to Denver on February 11th. I will be the featured speaker at the event, so if you haven’t had your fill of me talking about InDesign, please consider attending. More info can be found on the Mogo website. I believe there will be an IDUG discount, but I’ll have details on that soon.
Let’s kick off 2010 just right and make a resolution to learn more about InDesign, meet others in our creative communities, and have fun!
