Hi, checkout the interactivity side of Indesign, I’ve previously produced a iPad magazine, interactive PDFs etc. You need Adobe Digital Publishing Suite (DPS) for iPad mag to go live (expensive), but play around with object states it’s quite fun and you can use preview to see how things work. There’s a cool download for a object states assistant at www.automatication.com. Also use it for a lot of automation, running scripts etc.

Yes there is if need more help let me know thank you have a nice day blessings

You can use Indesign for many other things than catalogs. You can create magazines, newsletters and brochures, as well as interactive documents with rich media and export to an SWF file for playback using Adobe Flash player or you, can create interactive PDF documents.

InDesign is a layout program. So anything that you need to organize on a flat visual surface is game. I try to use InDesign for layout only and other Adobe programs for their strengths as well. (Illustrator for vector images, Photoshop for image modification, etc.) . InDesign is great at quickly altering text as you can set style sheets and character attributes. For me, that's one if IDs best strengths.

the easiest way to design is to use Microsoft publisher, especially on projects like business cards, tarpaulins, and other simple marketing ads. Hence it is quite an advantage and more choices if you will use sophisticated applications. Just set your size either European or standards for the business cards, and from there you can manipulate the contents.

If you have some of those perforated business cards by Avery, try downloading a template made for your paper and customize that. Otherwise, you will probably be printing onto thick card stock and hand-cutting, in which case you can still use a template, or you can free yourself and design your own. I would start with two pages. Format them to match the size of the card stock onto which you'll print. Then, I would probably make some kind of grid so you get all your parts lined up. I'd fully design one card, front and back, then merge the elements and copy the whole thing into the other grid spaces. That would be a great way to make a template for yourself. It's easy to drag photos and icons into the appropriate places and edit text. I don't know of any way to apply changes to all cells in a grid, however

Make one publishing block to scale with your business card paper or whatever size you'd like the card to be, really. It should, ideally fit on half the vertical page and, I believe 5 of them fit horizontally, making ten. Then you can make a text box and format it like you want it and place it in your main box. You can resize it in there as needed. Do the same with any other text you may want to add and with photos or graphics. You can even start out with a border inside your original box if you like and work within that. Then you can lock your card, copy it and paste it any number of times. It wont paste right on to your page. I always copy it ten times and then drag them over ti where I'd like them.

yes, explore publisher for best results however, for the logo, it'll be quite challenging but yes you can. for fonts and everything, for simple business cards, easily can make one using pub.
