Andy,

So rude! I expected better of someone from Purdue! I suggest you leave him on to suffer until he figures out how to unsubscribe himself or learns to ask in a nice way.

Quoting Andrew Davidhazy <andpph@xxxxxxx>:

Bob,

Thanks for the note and the suggestions. I used Word also for previous books
but
my colleagues here are telling me that I must "upgrade" so I decided to give

InDesign a shot. What a headache!! I should have my head examined doing it
this
way. Although I must admit it has many "printer friendly" features that I
don't
understand but  whcih a printer would feel quite at home with!

On the TOC ... if I had the authors listed by name and page number on which their personal infor appears ... you think that would work? I am thinking 2
columns of 20 with "name     1", "name      2", etc. stacked.

cheers,
andy

If you all that are included (or not included) in the imminently
published book of member's photographs and personal info could give me an opinion as to a very basic book layout question I'd appreciate it. Should the authors/photographs be organized in alphabetical fashion or is random listing OK? Maybe in order of arrival? A friend of mine opined that if random those that normally come at the end of any queue would really appreciate it>>>


Well, as the author of "Designing Beautiful Books . . ." I spend
considerable time wondering about content and organization. In my opinion,
you should use a random listing. I am not sure order of arrival means
anything. I say mix it up.

That said, you should add a TOC as well as an index so the reader can more
easily locate a specific photographer. If you have a good index, you can give
the reader the ability to locate information by location and subject.

I am not sure what program you are using to layout the book, but I use
Microsoft Word and adding an index or a TOC is child's play. My latest book is all about templates, styles, headers, page and section breaks, ect. If you
are using Word, I can help. I seem to recall you are not, however.

Luck to you,

Bob
