Next up for our Member Minute presentation was our very own Director of Marketing, Andrea Heser. Andrea gave us a rundown on how to use the "Hurry cover script" to ensure that your spine is always the right width. Here is a URL for this script if you missed it: http://www.scriptopedia.org/index.php?post/HurryCover.html&navlang=en.
Scroll down to where it says Attachments, and you can download HurryCover.zip. (Or you can just download it from the bottom of this page!)
Next was our main presentation, presented by our talented Director of Content Rick Burress, Making the most of Master Pages. Who knew that "lint", "Selecting a target" and "doing the shuffle" were important aspects of InDesign? I sure didn't. That is why we count on Rick to teach us the stuff we never knew. You can download Rick's handout of tips at the bottom of this page.

Comments from attendees
It's always a great InDesign day when I can learn something about the program - thank you. -Paige Lock
Probably one of the most useful meetings I've attended in a very long time. -Becci Burkhart
Very interesting topics and knowledgeable presenters. Master Pages can be very easy and stubborn at the same time - good clarification. Will definitely use the Spine script in the future. Thanks for all you do. -Marc A. Collins
Informative, entertaining and I'll definitely be back. -Israel Laveaga
Very professional yet friendly group. Enjoyed all of tonight's program. Informative and well put together. -Andrew Contreras
