I simply loved his explanation!
I am Brazilian and I speak little English. And although you have the German accent (it seemed to me), his way of explaining was very good, really. Got it in practice more than 80% of the things you said. This is a challenge for me because I have difficulty understanding English when people talk a little faster. With you, it was great! Another important point is your personal position because you are very friendly and pleasant in their explanations. Congratulations!

You have a good manner and approach: relaxed, but not boring. Thanks for putting this together.

Very happy! Sehr gut erklärt, sehr übersichtlich ... viele wichtige Tipps und Hinweise ... Außerdem sehr mutig, eine Video in einer Sprache zu machen, die nicht die Muttersprache ist. Hut ab! Ganz herzlichen Dank! Und gutes Gelingen bei GIS & Co ... ist ja auch eine recht komplexe Welt!

This is a tough subject and you do a great job trying to teach it to me. Plus your little joke at the end really made me laugh. Thankyou for this!

Hi unluckylion, Thank you for a very well presented tutorial. I found it to be invaluable. I'm about to create an index for a friend who has researched a topic and written a 400 page document on it. I have never used InDesign before so your video has made it possible for me to help him out.
Kind Regards, Alfred

Thanks for giving so much information.  This was much more helpful than reading info by Adobe on how to do the indexing.
