HOW TO MAKE AND PRINT A BOOKLET ON INDESIGN : key points

• Work in multiples of 4, to create pages
• Open indesign, file - new - document
• Tick facing pages : this means that the pages that are supposed to be next each other are...
• Tick 'preview' box while your setting up to see what your doing. 
• Bleed - full bleed images. This adds 3mm, so if your doing an A5 booklet you need a A4 page size, if your doing A4 an A3 page size. 
• To put in images, create boxes. You can drag the same box throughout, by selecting it and then holding down alt key, and then dragging it. 
• To put in image, select book and then hold down cmd + d. This will bring up a file selection window. 
• Press box called 'fit content to frame' to resize an image into selected frame. 
• When printing, after doing whole setup use 'preview' to have a final look.
