Techincal stuff to impress my teachers

• Conditional Text
• Anchored Objects
• Conditional Anchored Objects
• Bulleted/Numbered List
• Multi-level bulleted/ numbered lists
• Span/Split Columns
• Mutli column text frames
• Jump lines
• Stroke styles
• Object styles
• Live captions

Some great ideas here. As mentioned don't forget to go beyond the basics with your styles - how about:

• nested styles (great within a well-defined TOC)
• automatic page/column breaks (simple, but as a tutor I wouldn't want to see paragraph returns used to create white space or move text around!)
• definitely a simple GREP or two (basic ones might be controlling runts, or detecting specific words/phrases and placing them in their own style)
• automatic captions for a grid of images
• paragraph shading/rules
• demonstrate that you've used even the default 'find and replace' options within InDesign - for example, to remove double-spaces, white space etc
• maybe a simple script that would do something to increase workflow

Hope any of those give you some ideas. 🙂

For your EPUB add Alt texts and tag the file for accessibility… it will not only impress your teachers but give you skills needed for future 🙂 You are anchoring your images in your text flow?

Hi @andreasw16676623:

I would add nested styles and GREP styles to your list. And linked parent pages.

Have you looked the items up in the help file?

What will impress them most is doing the tasks as outlined and above expectations. Get the basics right. The rest comes with experience.

And curious... Why psd links?

Sidebars? Dummy ads?
