lynda.com Announces Pages 2 Essential Training
Seven hours of training in Apple’s page layout application.
Ojai, CA (PRWEB) August 26, 2006 -- lynda.com, the company specializing in self-paced career and computer training in digital media and design, today introduced Pages 2 Essential Training.
Pages 2, Apple’s word processing and page layout program, makes it easy to create professional-looking documents. In Pages 2 Essential Training, Garrick Chow fully explains how to use this iWork ’06 application -- from opening files to distributing finished documents. He covers the basics of page layout; navigation and design; working with graphic elements such as photos and 3D charts and tables; and drawing free-form curves, shapes, and masks. Garrick also demonstrates how to use Pages’ new features, such as its built-in mail merge, reviewer comments, and table calculations. Exercise files accompany this tutorial.
“Apple’s Pages product is surprisingly robust and practical; anyone who thinks this is simply a word processor is in for a treat. Instructor Garrick Chow showcases all the most exciting features, teaching new and veteran users everything from the basics to the advanced tricks,” says Lynda Weinman, CEO of lynda.com.
Pages 2 earned four coveted Macworld mice. Its reviewer states that this is “a significant improvement on the previous version” because Pages 2 now handles many of the issues that limited the first version of the application. Pages 2 Essential Training covers each of these new features in depth.
Anyone with an Internet connection can access Pages 2 Essential Training by subscribing to lynda.com’s Online Training Library™. A separate DVD version of Pages 2 Essential Training is scheduled for release in late August.
