Word was never going to survive page four.
The annual report is in Word. It was fine until page four, and now the images move when anyone types, the headings have drifted into three different sizes, and somebody spends a day every quarter putting it back together.
That is not a skills problem, it is a tool problem. Word was built for writing and InDesign was built for pages, and the difference shows up exactly when a document gets long enough to matter.
Communications and marketing staff take this because reports, brochures, and newsletters landed on them. Government communications offices take it for public-facing publications where consistency is the point. Nonprofits take it to bring annual reports in-house. It counts toward the Graphic Design Certificate.
Content and exercises are built around real work, and private group sessions are built around your own brand, templates, and files. Classes are delivered live online, and on-site delivery is available across the Colorado Front Range. This class sits alongside our other Adobe Creative Cloud classes.

Course outline
How the workshop runs
Every session is live with a real instructor, and the exercises are built around your team's work.
The first sessions are setup and structure, which is where InDesign pays for itself. Document setup, margins, columns, and master pages, so the framework carries the document instead of you carrying it. Participants learn why the first ten minutes of a file determine the next ten hours.
The middle is type and images. Paragraph and character styles applied properly, so changing a heading means changing one thing rather than eighty. Text flowing across pages without manual intervention. Images placed and linked rather than embedded, so the file stays workable and updates when the source does.
The final sessions are assembly and output. Building a real multi-page document, handling page numbering and sections, and then producing output: packaging for a printer, exporting print-ready PDF, and exporting for screen. Participants leave with a document they built and a template they can reuse.

Adobe Creative Cloud training
Adobe Creative Cloud training for teams
Marketing, communications, and in-house creative teams rely on Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Adobe Express. DWC teaches each one live, in beginner and advanced levels, with exercises built around your brand and the assets your team produces.
Train a whole creative team at once, or upskill the people outside it who need to produce on-brand graphics, documents, and video without waiting in the design queue.
Can you customize this workshop for our team?
Yes. Content, datasets, and examples are built around your actual work before delivery, so participants practice on the files, tools, and situations they deal with every day.
Is the training online or on-site?
Most groups train live online with a real instructor. On-site, in-person delivery is available by request.
Is there a minimum group size?
Most workshops booked for a team have a three participant minimum, and the Tuition section on each workshop page lists its exact terms. One-on-one sessions and smaller groups are priced case by case, and larger groups are quoted based on group size, schedule, and delivery format.
Do participants need Adobe software?
Yes. Participants need access to the Adobe application the workshop covers, such as Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere Pro, or After Effects. The software has its own cost and is not included in tuition. Once enrolled, DWC students are eligible for Adobe student pricing.
Do you offer beginner and advanced levels?
Yes. Most Adobe workshops come in a beginner level and an advanced level, so new users and experienced staff each get the right starting point.
Do participants receive a certificate?
