The Chicago Apple User Group is very proud to bring back Jim Cooper for our August 1st meeting. Jim's been an Adobe partner since InDesign emerged. The info on the Many Flavors of ePublication will show you how to use software you already have to make documents. This might range from Microsoft Word, to InDesign or InCopy. Jim will show us how to use tools we already have to build and distribute magazines, technical documents, educational materials or books. For those of you who want to get in on the ground floor of ePublishing, this is for you!
