    Default Working Efficient with ID CS

    Hello,

    A couple of weeks ago I went to a seminar of ID CS Page maker edition. I saw that ID has much more possibilities than Page maker 6.5 which I was working with. Now I bought the Creative Suit Premium Edition. But with an overflow on new possibilities and a complete new program (ID), I became a little confused. Where to begin. We have over 40 course manuals which are in Page maker 6.5 now I want to turn to ID. But I want a new look and to reduce my handling which left me with some questions. Some people are working a lot longer with ID possible willing to help me to get on the right track. Below is a link to an pdf which I created and a few questions I'm struggling with (It would be greatly appreciated if some of you would give an reaction.

    <http://www.vapa.nl/download/cursusboekbladvormingombouw.pdf>

    - now I'm making an Page maker document of every "numbered" paragraph in order to be flexible in correcting and editing text. Can I be as flexible with ID and create 1 document for one book instead sometime 30 documents?

    - Can I create prefixes while numbering paragraphs like 1.1 or 1.2.1.

    - Is there an easy way to create mathematical formulas. I'm now using equation editor from MS, which sometimes gives problems with printing in page maker.

    - The words in the right margin are lose text objects in page maker. Can ID link them to the text and let them move along with the text when text is added and everything is shifting.

    Hope some of you can help me out, Thanks in advance.
