Editorial Review:
As with each entry in the Classroom in a Book series, this one is used as part of Adobe's official training and certification program. Adobe PageMaker 7.0 Classroom in a Book (With CD-ROM) offers practical, step-by-step, timed lessons covering all of Pagemaker's features and tools and ensures that readers master the application. In addition, it provides clear explanations on how and why things work the way they do and supplies elegantly professional artwork on which to practice.
Each lesson is well organized, from the opening rundown of what will be covered to the final chapter review, complete with quiz questions (and answers). Projects are the sort of practical challenges that most desktop publishers face today: flyer, letterhead, project proposal, CD jewel-case booklet, brochure, print and Web-based newsletters, color catalog, and more. You learn how to work with master pages, styles, and inline graphics and how to format a sidebar and use the story editor.
Each project also addresses real-world practicalities like spot colors, trapping, registration, bleeds, and other prepress issues. Understanding how each of these affects your print piece will be invaluable when it's time to talk with your printer. In addition, readers learn how to format and generate an index and a table of contents and how to use the version 7.0-enhanced Export PDF command.
One of the more compact books in this series, Adobe PageMaker 7.0 Classroom in a Book won't leave readers buried under excessively detailed projects. There's no wasted space and the trim, to-the-point text makes it enjoyable to work through the exercises while learning the software. Whether you use Pagemaker casually or as a daily part of your workload, you'll definitely want to pick this one up. --Angelynn Grant

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Very Frustrating
I am a college student majoring in Multimedia Publishing. This book was used as the Pagemaker textbook for my digital publishing class, and I found it very frustrating. The step by step instructions were very unclear on some parts and hard to follow. I felt as if steps were being skipped, and things just weren't explained well enough for me. Also, the fact that some of the needed fonts were missing from the disc did not help matters. If not for my class instructor, I'm not sure I would have learned ... Read More
Rating: - Where is the Birch Fornt?
I have used PageMaker before starting with Version 6.0. I used an after market book "Teach Yourself PageMaker 6.0 in Twenty Four Hours" to learn it. Unfortunately they did not Publish the same book for 7.0. I had to brush up my PageMaker skills so I thought I would get Adobe's Publication "PageMaker 7.0 Classroom In A Book". To say the book is confusing is an understatement. The book gives you an estimated time that would be suffient to finish each lession usually two hours. All I can say to that ... Read More
Rating: - PageMaker 7.0 Classroom in a Book
I found myself very frustrated using this book. I kept going back as I thought I had missed something. For example, the author claims that all the needed fonts are included on the disk, but they are not, and without them, the examples do not look like they should. It is apparent that the book was not closely edited. REference is made to vertical rules when the action described must be a horizontal ruler! These types of errors make it very difficult for the novice to learn the application. Not that every ... Read More
Rating:  - Classroom In A Book - still the best series!
If you're the sort who likes to buy software and then use it without consulting the manual you probably own a Mac. That's fine, because that is precisely what the folks at Apple wanted to produce, a computer that needs no manual!
Still, the software that goes on that Mac or on that manual-required-before-you-start Windows=driven PC can get downright ornery. And the accompanying manual is as confusing as some passages in the Bible!
If you're one of the rest of us and have bought an Adobe product, I ... Read More
Rating:  - Great book, but hard to find accompanying files
I downloaded the e-book version of this title recently, and was very impressed with how easy it was to get started. However, I had to visit the publisher's website to download the Classroom files (you need them in order to do the exercises), and was only able to get the first three lessons. Very frustrating! I emailed and called the publisher to see if the files could be emailed to me (you can submit a form to receive the files on CD, but who knows how long that would take). To date, I have not received ... Read More
