I have been tasked with introducing a studio to InDesign next week. Does anyone know of any good tuts, advice, exercises, examples, etc.. that I can use to assist in my quest?

When my studio changed over it was simply a case of playing around with the software & trying to get your head around a program that has all the same rules as Quark & all the same shortcuts as Photoshop & Illustrator...
It's all trial & error, dude!

I know this and have explained it but it will be an introduction of sorts and highlighting the differences betwween the 2 and where to find key functions of the software

Same thing happened to me dude & it only became apparent after we made the crossover that, no matter what you knew from Quark or the other Adobe applications, none of us really knew what we were doing for the first while... but if you persevere you will find that it is a far superior program to ANY of the Quark applications & the integration with the other Adobe software is fantastic... in a couple of months you won't look back...
The other thing that has struck me in the last while is that printers (at least in Ireland) almost exclusively take high-res PDFs via the internet now & also send back ripped PDF proofs before printing... gone are the days of printing proofs in-house & sending a disk to the print house...Thanks InDesign...

i think tables are hugely different between the two and are worty of detailed explanation.
also the space before/after functions, they all work differently to quark.

I have a Quark - Indesign PDF tips book (about 20-30 pages) thats pretty handy for newcomers to Indesign, you could hand that out.
Email me if you want it

I used this book to teach a class of 6th graders for a summer camp. It's cheap and easy to understand.
