Hi, I have a calendar at the printers. There are mistakes I need to fix. Too many for me to send a word document to the shop for them to fix. I need to work on the actual calendar as I added a description of each picture. Some of my descriptions are too long and need to be made to fit the space. I cannot do this except in the original format of InDesign.

I have never used Adobe.

I have never used Cloud.

I have never used InDesign.

I downloaded a free 7 day trial.

The calendar has been sent and I have downloaded it to my download file.

I managed to somehow open it.

Now I have no clue as to how to actually work on it. Add words, remove words, change bold words to normal, change from lower case to capitals and visa versa.

Please, I only have 6 days left to do this. Can anyone help me?

Thanks.

It would be much more efficient for the print shop to make these changes.

You can use Acrobat to make comments using the annotation tools.

Request a proof back to check it.

It would be a cost - but it would be far faster and more efficient.

Hi @MR26797565k78v,

InDesign is a complex sotfware and needs a bit of learning curve. Having said that what you say you intend to do are not very complex operations to start with. So regarding changing text properties, you should use styles. There are two kinds of styles paragraph style and character style. Read about them and you should have pretty good idea of what you need to do. Some links that I could find which can been read are given below
