- [Voiceover] Hi. I'm Anne-Marie Concepcion, and I'm thrilled to welcome you to my course, Using Word and InDesign Together. We'll start out by learning how Word and InDesign work with styles. You'll learn what I've come to call best practices for flowing and formatting Word texts into InDesign, including managing tricky issues, like local formatting, indexes, images, and footnotes and endnotes. I'll show a number of free scripts and other third party solutions that can really save the day. I share some great solutions I've found for the most common issues, including a file full of normal plus styles and for what I like to call bizarre formatting, plus I've got some in-case-of-emergency techniques for rescuing corrupted files.
Finally, I show some of my favorite Word alternatives that you can use hand-in-hand with your Word and InDesign workflow. Now that you're all excited about finally getting these two monsters to play nicely with each other, lets get started with using Word and InDesign together.
