Handling Type Gracefully

In this chapter we've covered working with type from the mundane (dealing with font problems) to the magical. The Adobe Creative Suite applications, and particularly InDesign CS2, provide the tools to make your text and type look their best. The rich set of type controls in the CS2 applications are like the controls in a well-designed sports car. They let you gracefully adapt your type for any kind of layout you may create, and for any kind of output.

We also cover type extensively in Chapter 8, "Working with Style." There we'll teach you how to create paragraph, character, nested, and object styles that let you apply these powerful type features with a single click. They'll get you on the road in record time.
