The Adobe Creative Team is made up of members of Adobe's User Education group. They take their expertise in training users to work with Adobe products, combine it with the creative talents of the Adobe PageMaker team, and add the valuable content of the CD-ROM to make a unique learning package from Adobe Systems.
You've added Adobe PageMaker7.0 to your digital studio (or plan to). Now pick up the fastest, easiest, most comprehensive way to master the award-winning page-layout program--Adobe PageMaker 7.0 Classroom in a Book. This bestselling, hands-on workbook and CD package delivers something no other guide can: Adobe's official training series, developed by the company's own experts and tested in its classrooms and labs.
Each chapter is a self-paced lesson, based on real-world design projects. And each project builds on the skills you learn in previous lessons. For example, you may start by creating a single-page, black-and-white flyer, then quickly progress to more challenging projects, such as designing professional-quality letterhead, an eight-page CD booklet, a sports catalog, a Web-based newsletter, and more. Along the way, you'll learn to take advantage of version 7.0's new features, including its seamless integration with Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator, its ability to merge text and images from database and spreadsheet programs, and the way it now allows you to view and create PDFs, as well as open and edit QuarkXPress documents.

Very good starter's book, By Edwin Bossier "Edwin" (Belgium, Europe) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Adobe PageMaker 7.0 Classroom in a Book (Paperback)
I really like this book. I think that the best way to start to learn a complex piece of software, like Pagemaker, is too get your feet wet using 'real world' exercises. And that is exactly what this book offers you.It may be true that you do not always know exactly what you are doing when you step through the nice lessons in the book, because not every step is explained in detail, but that is not so important. When you have finished all the lessons, you know very well what Pagemaker has to offer, and you are ready to make your own brochures, letters, booklets, during which you will learn all the details of every Pagemaker feature using the help or a reference book. This book is not (and not meant to be) a reference book, use the Complete Reference or the Visual Quick Start guide instead, but it gets you started in a very good and pleasant way. It may also be true that some fonts may not be present on the CD-Rom, but everyone who has used a computer once in a while must... Read more

Not good for beginner or expert,
By A Customer
This review is from: Adobe Illustrator 7 0: Classroom in a Book with CDROM (Classroom in a Book (Adobe)) (Paperback)
This book is the worst written of the series. It is vague about some steps, leaves out others, which can leave a beginner floundering and frustrated. It also assumes a fair bit of 'artistic' ability.It's good in that it can demonstrate some techniques very well, such a scaling - but it doesn't really help or encourage a beginner to 'get creative'. Which is the whole point of the application.

Everyone who buys PageMaker should own this book!, By Jeanie Peck (Tonasket, WA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Adobe PageMaker 7.0 Classroom in a Book (Paperback)
It's true. I didn't know how to use Adobe PageMaker at all, then I ordered this book as a last resort before giving up completely. Guess what? It worked! I'm not real computer-nerd like myself, but I could certainly work the lessons in this classroom in a book. It is magnificant and doesn't get enough exposure!
