word processor in itself. However, a lot of
Microsoft Word styles are not carried into InDesign when the users switch

program to InDesign called InCopy, which can read and export the various
text formatting styles that InDesign uses.

file, which can be read by versions till CS4. For even more backward

Adobe InDesign is part of Creative Cloud (CC) which is a subscription
service that bundles InDesign along with other popular programs such as
Photoshop, Illustrator, Lightroom, Audition, Premiere Pro, After Effects, and
many more.

The latest 2017 version of Creative Cloud can be downloaded by logging into
the Adobe website and downloading the Creative Cloud app which will allow
you to install the various CC programs that you are eligible for. You can also
download trial versions to test drive the software before committing to
buying them.

In addition to commonly used apps, Adobe is introducing two new apps with
the 2017 version called Experience Designer (XD) and Project Felix.
Adobe XD provides UX designers and UX testers with the tools to create
great user interfaces for a variety of screen sizes and device form factors.
You can design interactive prototypes to test out a wide variety of UX
designs to ensure maximum app engagement by the users. Project Felix is
under beta testing and it aims to combine 2D and 3D workflows in one app
without having to learn the nuances of 3D creation.

your productivity. It includes new footnote capabilities to create footnotes
that can span across multiple pages and enhancements to the OpenType
fonts. It includes direct integration with Adobe Stock to find the assets
licensed by Adobe, which you can simply drag and drop into your document.

team across all your Adobe apps. You can directly buy industry leading fonts
from the Typekit marketplace from within InDesign. These fonts are available
to all the other CC apps as well.
