To support the launch of Creative Suite 3 products, Adobe has mounted a free video workshop library, accessible to all.

The library, found at the end of this link, contains tutorials for Acrobat 8 Professional, Adobe Stock Photos, and CS3 members Bridge, Contribute, Device Central, Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Flash, Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop Standard and Extended, and Version Cue. Instructors such as David Blatner, Mordy Golding, and Anne-Marie Concepción lead the eager CS3 beginner through a grab-bag of tactics from beginning to intermediate and advanced tasks such as learning to use the search features of InDesign, 3D Drawing in Illustrator, and many others.

The URL for the goodies is adobe.com/designcenter/video_workshop/.

1. These video’s are also available through the CS3 help system. For example, the new Live Color help-topic links to these video’s.

2. True, and a cool thing that is. Teh coolness inherent in this situation is that anyone who has a web browser and Adobe Flash 9 can view them (Provided, of course, they’re connected to the intarweb)

Tip of the Day

Add Your Paragraph and Character Styles to All New InDesign Documents Automatically

Got paragraph and character styles you use frequently? Maybe you took our advice and created basic, global character styles for bold, italic, bold-italic, and regular. Save yourself some serious time loading your commonly used styles into new documents—make them part of the default for all new documents.

Open InDesign (or InCopy) but don’t open a document. From the flyout menu on the Paragraph Styles or Character Styles panel choose the Load All Text Styles command. You’ll be prompted to find a document containing the desired styles. Find and select that, and then pick the styles you want. When they import to the Paragraph Styles and/or Character Styles panels, with no documents opened, those style become available by default for all new documents you create.
