-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi There please help i want to design a catalog for about 200 pages, and i have already the data on a doc file 1) which program shall i use to copy and paste the 200 pages on it? "indesign"?? so that i can design the background of the catalog? - and i prefer to design it on photoshop and then copy it in any other program 2) is there any sites which i can buy a catalog template from it? as templatemonster for webdesign?? thanks
Sorry, but I don't quite understand the question... What will the final result be for this catalog? Print, web or both? If it is for print, yes you should use a combination of Photoshop and InDesign to get the bet results. Use PS for the images and then create a template in Indesign to make laying out 200 pages easier for you.
thanks but i want to copy and paste 200 pages from a doc file to the indesign, shall i paste every page separatly or is there a tool that i can use to spread the 200 pages on the indesign?? thanks for ur help again
I guess it'll depend on what the catalog will be used for? is it going to be a website? or will you print it?
Cool. I don't know how comfortable/ familiar you are with InDesign but they have a built in feature that makes things like this easy. Read this tutorial from Adobe. Basically you will set up a master page in the style that you want ie. margins, columns, font sizes, etc... Then use Autoflow to import large ammounts of text.
