This is not a meeting you want to miss!! RSVP now!! Here’s just a few of the times that will be covered!

1. Tips for creating a Twitter background.

2. URL shortening services, so many choices, what to choose? (Why not use your own domain name as a URL shortener?)

3. Are you using the same brand across all social media platforms? Check to see WHERE your name is available.

4. Using services such as TweetLater, CoTweet & Ping.fm to manage & automate your social media network.

IDUG June Meeting

June 13, 2009

InDesign in the Summer Time!

If you use styles with InDesign than you’re probably wondering how things could get any better? I mean paragraph styles are pretty great, and when combined with the Next style, Nested style & Object style features almost one-click instant for your formatting needs.

BUT…

What if you could just set the criteria for formatted objects? What if InDesign automatically formatted text AS YOU TYPED? That would be something wouldn’t it?

You’ll have to come out to the next meeting of the IDUG (InDesign User Group) Dallas chapter to learn about GREP styles. Time permitting I’ll also throw in some tricks from my latest Layers Magazine tutorials.

Oh, and did I mention we raffle stuff? Yeah, I know it’s not a usergroup unless swag is involved.

=========================
