Total Training Helps QuarkXPress® Users Make the Move to Adobe® InDesign® CS

- Video Instruction Ensures Quick, and Easy Transition to New Standard in Industry Page Layout Software Standard -

Carlsbad, CA, April 6, 2004 — Total Training, the leading producer of high-quality video-based training for popular software programs, today announced the availability of Total Training Presents: QuarkXPress to Adobe InDesign CS — Making the Switch.

Led by desktop publishing expert Deke McClelland, the CD-based training series features three hours of step-by-step video instruction that guides graphic designers and other creative professionals through the process of moving from QuarkXPress to InDesign. Making the Switch helps viewers use familiar page layout software skills in a new environment and migrate current projects without skipping a beat.

“As Adobe InDesign continues to build momentum as the industry standard, it begs the question from QuarkXPress users about what to do with their existing files and software knowledge,” said Deke McClelland. “This latest CD from Total Training takes the worry out of making that move. It will very quickly help Quark users not only be productive in InDesign, but proficient.”

McClelland makes Quark users feel at home in shifting to the new page layout program, quickly adapting and adjusting their layout skills to take advantage of InDesign's powerful tools, while also giving insight to the program's lesser-known functions and time-saving techniques. Viewers can even work alongside the instructor as they use the same project files he does (included on the training CD).

Training topics include:

• Getting around in InDesign
• Customizing display settings and page navigation
• Placing and flowing text
• Selecting and formatting text
• Using guidelines and graphics
• Applying transparency and transitioning

Total Training Presents: QuarkXPress to Adobe InDesign CS — Making the Switch is available for $49 through Total Training (www.totaltraining.com or 1-888-368-6825), or at software resellers everywhere. More in-depth training on InDesign CS is also offered through Total Training's seven-disc set, Total Training for InDesign CS, available for $299.
