Hey everyone!
I recently took on a job to recreate an existing catalog in InDesign. It was originally designed in QuarkXPress. I've done some simple catalog work in the past but this catalog is a little larger. It is a 200+ page (broken down into 15-20 sections/categories) / full color catalog with many little parts and small table like sections listing the parts #/description/price. Think Radio-Shack type parts. Needless to say each page is going to be jam packed with product. In any case, my question would consist of any advice/tip/tricks that you may have which would make the transition as easy as possible. Also, if you know of any plug-ins that might be useful in the process. Regardless it will be a lot of work but it doesn't hurt to tap into the community and see if I've miss anything. Thank you in advance for any help!
