TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Imposition is not something that comes natural to InDesign. However, the PageMaker PlugIn Pack
($49 or so) has a basic imposition tool. For more advanced/complex impostion, you'd have to buy
3rd party plugins.
As far as tips&tricks: Buy some good literature (Real Wordl InDesign) and subscribe to the
InDesing list at blueworld - an awesome group of very, very knowledgeable people. Some Adobe
folks (or at least one) hang out there, but more importantly, some of the top notch authors and
trainers regarding InDesign.
