Overall Satisfaction with Adobe InDesign

Adobe InDesign is used to work with our longer courses and documents. It is easier to work with and has far fewer hiccups than Microsoft Word. I really enjoy using libraries for easy access to fonts, logos, and colors of the brand. Adobe InDesign saves time due to its ease of use.

  • Libraries
  • The cloud feature
  • Error indicators

Quark used to be used much more. Adobe InDesign is now the preferred layout software for publishers. Canva is not as robust and does not have the same functionality.
