Adobe PageMaker was one of the first page layout applications, and is still heavily used in many corporate production environments, as well as some studios and magazines. If you are looking for employment within corporate desktop publishing departments, learning PageMaker is a must. In Virtual Training Company's PageMaker 6.5 Advanced tutorial, author Diane Presler begins by making you comfortable with the PageMaker environment and the basics. She then systematically guides you through more complicated areas by teaching you advanced typography, advanced color management, and useful tips and tricks. You can get started immediately by clicking on any of the below sections.
