Simon: Hi, I'm Simon. I am a Director of Technology. Today, I'm giving Adobe InDesign five out of five stars. Click below for more reviews. So with Adobe InDesign, there are a lot of problems that I'm able to solve by utilizing this application. For instance, our school utilizes the application to create desktop newsletters. So these go out to our families, and I use Adobe's InDesign to create these newsletters. So it does a good job of making it easy for me to put together all the text and graphics in one place, and make it look good for the families once we send it out. So it's really easy to use Adobe InDesign. You don't have to have a lot of advanced desktop publishing skills. Really, you just have to have a niche for creating online materials or hard copy materials, such as newspapers and newsletters. And as long as you have an interest in that, it's pretty easy to get on top of all the different tools that Adobe InDesign has to offer. So there aren't many things I'd change about Adobe InDesign, but one thing would be the layout of the tool bars in the desktop publishing view. There's a lot of tools to use, and if they were a little more easier to find, I think that would help make my job a little bit easier. And it would make my job that much faster to get that product out to our families.
