Thanks for your responses, I have tried google and found most of the links weren't what I was looking for.
Cheers for that link, have been on there before and think is the best I've found so far.

I learned InDesign in a formal classroom setting as part of my Graphic Design curriculum, but there are a couple of good books out there that will help you if you take the time to complete the associated lessons.
The first book is Adobe InDesign CS3 Classroom in a Book by Adobe Press. This covers all the tools and basic techniques.
The second is Real World InDesign CS3 also by Adobe Press that covers more advanced topics.

InDesign Tutorials
I was a Quark girl until very recently - then I picked up a redesign freelance job where the file I had to work with was in ID - which I still hadn't learned and only had the original version of. So I bought the upgrade and dove in.
Learned it on the fly, doing this freelance project that was a 56 page guide. In the end, as MacNerd12 says, the best way to learn a program is to just do it - there were times when I had to go online to find answers to my questions and things I just figured out how to do on my own - if you already know the other Adobe products, and have worked in other page layout programs, you'll pick it up.
There are many forums where people are more than willing to help if you stumble on something. But really, just open a file, play with it, and away you go.
