So much more than simple slideshows, InDesign's multistate objects (aka MSOs) are the foundation of engaging interactivity in fixed-layout EPUBs and other digital publications. In this course, you'll learn how to use multistate objects to take your designs to the next level. Author Bob Levine shows how to prepare your workspace and work with the Object States panel, the heart of building and manipulating multistate objects. Next, he covers creating MSOs and editing their content and states, creating buttons to navigate states, and using the Layers panel to select states. Along the way, you'll learn timesaving tips and tricks.
