Terry’s Table Tawks started out as a live group lesson series on Zoom during the early lockdown stages of the pandemic, eventually growing into a video tutorial library. Visit the links for each section in the list to view. You are welcome to use these as a resource to gain or refresh a better understanding of working with table styles in Adobe Indesign.
Terry’s Tips (Bonus) tutorials are also included here, like how to make running footers using text variables with Indesign, and best practices for resizing images placed in Indesign using Photoshop, to increase file efficiency overall, and RIP time when your file gets to the printer’s.
