Meeting Summary

InDesign's Top 21 Presets & The Best of CS4
Thu, Nov 20th, 2008 at 6:00 PM
U.S. Navy Memorial Auditorium
Event Details

Thanks to the 130 or so user group members who braved the cold and joined us for a thoroughly enjoyable evening.

After our usual delicious repast of pizza, fruit, cookies and drink, we adjourned to the auditorium to watch Mike Witherell (www.jetsetcom.net) give an entertaining and informative presentation on “21 Presets in InDesign.”

Most attendees appreciated the humor and wit that Mike employs to get his information across. Low-key and entertaining seemed to be a consistent refrain.

A PDF of his handout is attached (see below).
