Ever-evolving technology can make it hard to stay current. Take page layout, which used to mean the printed page. Now it includes pages on all sorts of electronic devices. And while some skills that began in print do translate to, for example, iPad publication design, new skills are also necessary.

That's where our sister publication, InDesign Magazine, comes in. The latest issue arrived in subscribers' in-boxes last week with two in-depth articles that help you ride the technology roller coaster. There are also several other articles with how-tos and efficiency tips that apply no matter what medium you're designing for.

Sandee Cohen explains how to use them to align two or more objects to the page and to each other. You'll also be able to space objects equally, rotate them equally, and more. It's smart to use Smart Guides!
