Done a charity leaflet comprising of a few A5 sheets, in Publisher was easy to export (or save as) a gif and it asked for the DPI - I always chose 600dpi for printing off on out laser (after bringing into photoshop). Now that ive designed the leaflet, ive tried exporting as jpeg's in indesign so I can put on my pendrive ready for printing off but I cant seem to get the DPI right, the jpegs are all blurry when bringing into photoshop for printing. What am I doing wrong? thanks. I guess what im asking is how do I save my work as images (gif, jpegs etc) and still keep around 600 dpi resolution. thanks.

Exporting HI-RES

You're sort of going backwards as Indesign is designed for final printing - importing images from Photoshop, Illustrator, etc. 600 dpi is actually not very high for the text portions if you export to something like jpeg.
Your best bet is exporting a Press quality pdf, which will print very well. Text resolution at this setting will be 1200 to 2400. If you want high image resolution, make a new PDf export preset with a higher downsampling for images.
If you must export, you'd probably do best with EPS. Set everything to its highest. The open that in Photoshop. You should get a window asking for rasterization setting and select whatever dpi you wish.
