Mac OS X, version 10.2.8–10.3.8/Microsoft® Windows® 2000/Windows XP Adobe InDesign CS2 ® ® What’s New in InDesign CS2 A new standard in professional layout and design Since it was first developed, Adobe InDesign software has always had a clear goal: Break down barriers in the creative workflow. With each release of InDesign, we’ve addressed entrenched problems in the design process by listening to customers and giving them the solutions they needed. Through this intense focus, InDesign has delivered landmark innovations in creative and production workflows. Today InDesign is a component of the Adobe Creative Suite, which is transforming the way designers work. And major magazines, newspapers, book publishers, advertising agencies, graphic design firms, and corporate creative groups worldwide have switched their layout and design to InDesign to achieve significantly higher productivity and more refined creative results. Now Adobe InDesign CS2 celebrates five years of technology leadership by once again fine-tuning the page layout workflow to make it easier, faster, more fluid and versatile. From fulfilling designers’ desire for more control over Adobe Photoshop® files to vastly improving its text handling capabilities and evolving its XML support to better meet a range of publishing needs, Adobe InDesign continues to fulfill its promise to deliver more creative options, more productivity, and better ways to work. It also delivers a flexible, powerful platform for a wide variety of design and publishing solutions. Here’s just a taste of what you can do with InDesign CS2: Adobe Creative Suite 2 Adobe InDesign CS2 is the design and layout component of Adobe Creative Suite 2. Adobe Creative Suite 2 is a complete design solution that provides today’s creative professionals with the tools they need to create and publish content for print, Web, and mobile faster, more easily, and more affordably than ever. For more details, see page 19. Work faster, create more The focus of this release is on accelerating productivity. The new Adobe Bridge file browser enables you to locate, manage, and drag and drop assets more easily into your InDesign layouts. New object styles present a major leap forward in productivity by allowing you to save commonly used object formatting for ongoing use. A dozen enhancements to text handling—such as smarter Microsoft Word import, faster application of styles, drag-and-drop text, and the ability to paste text without its original formatting— all help to improve the speed and efficiency of working with large amounts of text. InDesign CS2 continues to innovate, introducing the ability to save portions of an InDesign page as snippets, which you can re-use in other files or share with colleagues. And the ability to more finely control XML import and apply XML tags to table content makes the XML control in InDesign more versatile than ever. Put your creativity in control One of the most highly esteemed features of InDesign is its robust support for native Adobe Photoshop (PSD), Illustrator®, and PDF files, which has changed the way designers work. InDesign CS2 significantly extends that support by giving you control over the visibility of layers in imported PSD and PDF files. In addition, InDesign CS2 introduces anchored objects, which ensure pull quotes, art, callouts, and other objects maintain a defined relationship with specified text; new transformation controls for quickly re-applying transformations to other objects; easy conversion of one shape to another shape; new noise and spread controls for drop shadows and feathers; and a new fitting command. Plug into the power of Adobe integration InDesign CS2 speeds the design workflow through its intelligent ® integration with other Adobe software: Adobe Photoshop CS2, Illustrator CS2, GoLive® CS2, InCopy® CS2, and Acrobat® 7.0 Professional software. With InDesign CS2 and InCopy CS2, designers and editors can work more collaboratively through a new assignments workflow. InDesign CS2 now imports multiple-page PDF files, provides backwards compatibility to InDesign CS format, supports consistent onscreen color and Adobe PDF creation through its Adobe Creative Suite 2 integration, and makes it easier to get your print assets to the web. This document introduces major new productivity, creativity, and integration features in InDesign CS2. A list of other enhancements, plus details about availability, pricing, and related Adobe products, appears at the end. 2 Top 10 new features in Adobe InDesign CS2 • Adobe Bridge for organizing, browsing, and dragging and dropping assets into your layouts (see page 2) • Object styles for quickly formatting graphics and text in your InDesign layouts (see page 5) • Ability to hide or show layers in Photoshop and PDF files (see page 12) • InDesign snippets for quickly saving out parts of an InDesign page for re-use in other layouts (see page 5) • Adobe InCopy CS2 assignments for multi-user access to InDesign documents (see page 15) • Save Backwards to InDesign CS (see page 17) • Anchored objects for tying a graphic or text object to specific text (see page 13) • Significantly enhanced support for importing Microsoft Word and RTF files (see page 8) • Smarter text handling with drag-and-drop text, paste without formatting, quick-apply styles, and other text advances (see pages 6 and 8) • Enhanced support for XML workflows (see page 11) Work faster, create more Producing pages with speed and precision is an absolute requirement for meeting client deadlines and getting on press on time. Your page layout software is often the critical tool in the process as the central place where you assemble text, graphics, and images to prepare final pages for output. That’s why each release of InDesign has placed such a premium on continually fine-tuning and improving the production process. With InDesign CS2, we further refined this focus to improve the speed and efficiency of designers in a variety of different workflows from text-intensive production in book, magazine, and newspaper design to high-end XML-based cross-media workflows. The result is a powerhouse new version—InDesign CS2. Adobe Bridge One of the most important productivity features in Adobe InDesign CS2 is its integration with the new Adobe Bridge. The Adobe Bridge is the next evolution of the popular Photoshop File Browser. It’s now a standalone file browser that helps you manage your assets. The Adobe Bridge is available as part of InDesign CS2, as well as other Adobe products, such as Illustrator CS2 or Photoshop CS2. It’s also a component in the new Adobe Creative Suite 2. For InDesign CS2, the Adobe Bridge offers rich functionality with significant productivity benefits. A B C D H G F E A. Browse thumbnails of assets in Adobe Bridge. B. Search for royalty-free photos using the new Adobe Stock Photos. C. Save searches for documents as Collections, which you can run again. D. Preview an asset more closely. E. Change your view of your assets. F. Apply labels and ratings to more easily sort assets—for example, to identify assests for a layout or for further editing. G. Scale the thumbnail preview. H. View, edit, and serach on metadata. Right-click controls in Adobe Bridge Right-clicking an asset brings up context-sensitive options for interacting with that asset. For example, you can choose to open that asset in the application you have running or from another application, display the asset file in the Finder or in Windows Explorer, move it to the Trash, apply a Label to it so it’s easier to filter, and more. Quick, easy browsing of assets with easy drag and drop to InDesign layouts The Adobe Bridge helps you locate, browse, compare, rank, sort, and manage assets for your design work. The central benefit is how easy it is to locate the assets you want, and then drag and drop them into your InDesign layout. Here are a few tips on how to work with the Adobe Bridge: • Opening the Adobe Bridge Choose File > Browse, click the Adobe Bridge button in the Control palette, or press Command-Option-O (Mac OS) or Ctrl-Alt-O (Windows). Then browse through assets available on your hard drive or network. You can also open multiple instances of the Bridge. Click to open the Adobe Bridge and browse for assets. 3 • Compact size You can work with the Adobe Bridge at full size or toggle it to a more discreet palette size for easier access from your InDesign layouts. Just press Command-Return (Mac OS) or Ctrl-Enter (Windows) to toggle the Bridge’s size. • Previewing assets Any assets with a thumbnail embedded display a preview to help you identify them, Preview assets more closely in the Preview area of Adobe Bridge. For example, browse through a multipage Adobe PDF file or through a multi-page InDesign template file. including InDesign CS2, Illustrator, Photoshop, and Adobe PDF files. A selection of ways to view your assets—Thumbnails, Filmstrip, Details, and Versions and Alternates—makes it easier to identify, sort, label, and interact with those assets. You control the size of the thumbnail associated with these views by dragging the slider that appears along the lower edge of the Adobe Bridge. An adjustable Preview area also helps you examine your assets more closely. For example, you can navigate through all of the pages in a multi-page Adobe PDF using the Preview controls. (Note To ensure that InDesign embeds preview images in its files, choose InDesign > Preferences > File Handling [Mac OS] or Edit > Preferences > File Handling [Windows], select Always Save Preview Image with Documents, and specify the preview size.) • Easy drag and drop to InDesign layouts Once you locate the asset you want to use in a layout, just drag and drop it into the InDesign page, or choose File > Place > In InDesign for Adobe Bridge to automatically load the InDesign Place icon or import the asset into a selected frame. To quickly try out multiple possibilities in a single placeholder frame, drag and drop a new asset from the Adobe Bridge onto the frame to replace its contents. To layer one asset on top of another, press Command or Ctrl as you drag and drop the asset on an existing frame. Drag and drop an asset from the Adobe Bridge (shown here in Compact mode) into an InDesign layout. Scripting access to metadata in imported assets InDesign CS2 now offers scriptinglevel access to the XMP metadata in placed assets. For example, you could easily write a script for quickly pulling caption and credit information out of a placed Photoshop image and placing it in a frame available on the page. Setting up this kind of workflow ultimately saves time and ensures more accurate transfer of critical information. Labeling assets, creating collections, and more If you’ve ever looked through hundreds of files to find just the right ones to use in a design, you know the challenges of keeping track of which files you want and why. Adobe Bridge makes this process easier with tools for tagging the assets that interest you. You can, for example, quickly label assets by color, assign a rank to them, and even apply keywords, and then filter your view of assets based on these attributes. You can also associate tasks, such as Needs Editing, with a color, and then apply that color to assets and sort on it to quickly identify actions. In addition, you can create collections, which are essentially saved queries for files that have certain characteristics that you specify. You can then run these queries at any time to find those files again. Strong support for metadata By default, InDesign CS2 and other Adobe applications, including Illustrator CS2, Photoshop CS2, GoLive CS2, and Acrobat 7.0 Professional, embed XMP metadata into their associated documents to describe some of the design intent of those documents. For example, InDesign CS2 automatically embeds information about the fonts and color swatches used in a document, as well as basic file creation details. That information displays in the Metadata pane of the Adobe Bridge when you select the InDesign document. You can 4 then add, edit, or import metadata information, such as information about the copyright, the author, and more. You can also search for files based on embedded metadata—for example, you could search for all InDesign files that use a specific Pantone® color, or all of the Photoshop files credited to a certain person. Save useful searches as Collections, which you can re-activate for as long as you need. . View, edit, and search on metadata embedded in assets, such as InDesign and Photoshop files. Search on metadata to find all files associated with that information. For example, find all of the InDesign files that use a certain Pantone spot color swatch in their layout. Scripting automation through Adobe Bridge in Adobe Creative Suite 2 Investing in Adobe Creative Suite 2 gives Adobe Bridge an additional benefit: workflow automation. The Creative Suite version of the Bridge includes several sample scripts that automatically perform productionoriented tasks across multiple components of the Suite. For example, one script takes a folder of Photoshop images and lays them out as a contact sheet in InDesign CS2. You can write custom scripts in JavaScript to automate other tasks. Adobe Bridge also provides a central location for synchronizing color settings across the components of the Creative Suite. For more information, see “Consistent color” on page 17. Final Note Dragging and dropping assets with the Adobe Bridge works both ways. Just as you can drag an asset out of the Adobe Bridge to place into InDesign, so too you can drag one or more objects from an InDesign page into the Adobe Bridge to create an InDesign snippet, which you can then re-use in other documents. For more information about snippets, see “InDesign snippets” on page 5. Adobe Stock Photos service Also accessible within the Adobe Bridge is Adobe Stock Photos, a new Adobe service. Adobe Stock Photos gives you convenient access to more than 200,000 royalty-free images from leading suppliers, helping you easily browse, find, try out, purchase, and manage the assets you need. You can then purchase them in a single efficient transaction through Adobe Stock Photos. Instead of conducting time-consuming searches, acquiring rights from, and paying fees to multiple vendors, initiate onestop shopping directly from Adobe Stock Photos. For example, browse for creative inspiration in all of the participating stock libraries. (A simple keyword search for “Lamp,” for example, identifies relevant images of lamps from all participating stock photo suppliers at once.) Then refine your results, identify the images you like, and download free, un-watermarked, low-resolution comps to use in your creative explorations. When you’re ready to license an image, simply select it in the InDesign Links palette and choose Purchase This Image from the palette menu. Or go to Adobe Stock Photos in Adobe Bridge and purchase multiple images from multiple suppliers at once. Adobe Stock Photos automatically downloads the images to your Purchased Items folder for you to drag and drop into InDesign to replace the comp images. 5 InDesign snippets One of the most innovative new features in InDesign CS2 is snippets. Now you can save individual objects on a page, including text, imported graphics, and objects created in InDesign, as snippet files to share with colleagues or to re-use in other InDesign documents. To create a snippet, select the InDesign items you want to re-use and then export them or drag and drop them into the Adobe Bridge, onto your desktop, into the Library palette, or even into an email message to send to someone. InDesign automatically creates a special snippet file with a thumbnail preview. When you drag or place it back into a document, the original objects you selected reappear in the same relative position on the page. Using snippets enables you to repurpose discrete parts of an InDesign page from one document to another, or to share it with others, with drag-and-drop ease. Drag and drop objects from an InDesign page into the Adobe Bridge to create an InDesign snippets file. Then re-use the contents of that snippet by dragging and dropping it into other InDesign documents. When you re-import the snippet, InDesign recreate the objects, any applied formatting, and the relative positioning on the page. For most designers, working with snippets is as easy as dragging and dropping objects. They never need to know about the enabling technology behind snippets. However, for some it may be useful to know that snippets are based on the InDesign Interchange (INX) format, an XML-based technology framework that underlies a number of innovations in InDesign CS2 including assignments and the ability to open InDesign CS2 files in InDesign CS. This underlying framework enables snippets to maintain any XML structure, which can be really powerful in production work. For example, you could tag a styled table, import a linked XML file, and then export the resulting table as an InDesign snippet. You could then place that snippet into a new InDesign document, refresh the link to the XML file, and quickly produce updated, styled content. Laying out Top 10 tables or similar types of content suddenly takes no time at all. Object styles One of the most popular features in Adobe InDesign CS was nested styles—the ability to embed one or more character styles in a paragraph style. With nested styles, you could apply sophisticated text formatting with a click of the mouse, saving designers significant time in production. Adobe InDesign CS2 introduces yet another innovation in styles: object styles for quickly applying consistent object-level formatting to objects. Now when you format an object and decide to reuse those attributes again and again, you can do so with the utmost efficiency. With this new support, you can set up and share collections of object styles to streamline everything from simple tasks, like applying drop shadows consistently, to more complex tasks, like applying a combination of text frame, paragraph style, and text wrap settings in one move. With the Object Styles palette, save a wide range of graphic, text, and frame-level attributes as object styles to create more consistent designs and speed up production tasks. 6 Managing object-level style overrides If you apply an object style to an object that already has formatting applied, the style respects the existing formatting. To clear it and use only the settings in the object style, click the Clear Override button on the palette or press Option (Mac OS) or Alt (Windows) as you click the style name. If, on the other hand, an object has formatting applied that’s not defined by the object style, you clear that formatting by clicking the Clear Attributes Not Defined By Style button. To see how easy and efficient object styles are, let’s walk through the basics of working with them. An object style is a named and saved combination of object-level formatting. It can include any combination of fill, stroke, stroke and corner effects, transparency, drop shadows, feathering, paragraph styles, text frame options, baseline options for text frames, story options, text wrap, and anchored object settings. In many respects, setting up and applying object styles works just like other styles. You can: • Create, apply, duplicate, edit, and delete object styles using the Object Styles palette. (Many of these options, and some of the ones described below, are also available in the Control palette.) • Format an object and then quickly turn the applied attributes into a named object style. • Base one object style on another object style. Then any updates you make to the parent style automatically ripple through the child style. • Share object styles easily by saving collections of object styles in one InDesign file and then providing it to colleagues or clients to selectively import into other InDesign documents. • Set the default object style for graphics and text frames in any of these ways: Drag a default icon in the Object Styles palette list to a new style; click a style name when nothing is selected and the Selection or Direct-Selection tools are active (graphics frames) or the Type tool is active (text frames); or choose new default settings from the palette menu. • Break the link between an object and the applied style, so that any subsequent edits to the style won’t affect that link. Just select the object and click the Break Link to Object Styles button in the Object Styles palette. • See at a glance what categories of settings are included in a particular style thanks to tool tips that appear when you let your mouse hover over an object style name. Apply object-level formatting consistently across pages, spreads, and documents using new support for object styles. Style enhancements In addition to introducing object styles, InDesign CS2 brings a whole host of enhancements to styles in general, making it easier and faster to load, apply, and reset styles. Here’s an overview of these enhancements: Selectively load styles You can now selectively import paragraph, character, and object styles from other documents. When you choose Load Paragraph Styles, Load Character Styles, or Load Object Styles from the relevant palette menu and then select the source document, InDesign CS2 displays a Load Styles dialog box. You can then view the style definitions for the incoming and existing document styles, as well as choose how to handle style name conflicts—auto-rename the incoming style or use the incoming style definition to override the existing style. And you can check and uncheck the styles you want to import. 7 View incoming and existing style definitions for your documents. Then import only the styles you want from another document, and easily manage style name conflicts on import. Quick Apply for styles If you often have to scroll through dozens or even hundreds of available paragraph and character styles to find and apply the one you want, you know it takes precious time. That’s why InDesign CS2 introduces Quick Apply, a new command that you invoke with a keyboard shortcut— Command-Return (Mac OS) or Ctrl-Enter (Windows)—and then type ahead to quickly sort, locate, and apply the style you want on the fly. If an object is selected when you invoke Quick Apply, InDesign lists any available object styles. Invoke Quick Apply and type the first few letters in a style name to quickly locate and apply a style. Apply Next Style option InDesign CS2 has a new Apply Next Style option, which enables you to apply a succession of styles to selected text. For this to work, each style must specify a Next Style in its definition. For example, suppose you want to style an article with a headline, a byline, and several paragraphs of body text. Your headline style specifies the byline style for its Next Style, the byline style specifies the body text style, and the body text style specifies Same Style for Next Style. This means that you can select the article text, right-click the headline style in the Paragraph Styles palette list, and choose Apply <Stylename> Then Next Style to style the entire piece in one fell swoop. You can also save a paragraph style as part of an object style with the Apply Next Style option turned on. Then, when you apply the object style to a selected text frame, it will automatically style the text in the frame. Example 1 Example 2 Example 3 Each of the three examples above was styled in one move by highlighting the text, clicking the first style used in the Paragraph Style palette, and choosing Apply <stylename> then Next Style. Because each style specified a Next Style, InDesign could correctly apply multiple styles at once. Reset to Base option Setting up styles based on other styles is now more efficient. With InDesign CS2, you can base one style on another, make changes to the child style, and then change your mind and quickly start over by clicking Reset to Base on the opening panel of the New Paragraph Styles dialog box. That immediately switches all of the format settings in the dialog box to the style on which it is based. You can also switch the based-on style and InDesign will display the new attributes as expected. Remapping deleted styles If you delete a style that’s being used in a document, or that is a parent style to other styles, InDesign now prompts you to replace it with another style. Clear overrides Clean up imported text files or undo character and paragraph-level overrides quickly by highlighting the text and clicking the Clear Overrides button the on the Paragraph Styles palette. Use keyboard shortcuts to more selectively clear overrides—for examples, press Command or Ctrl and click Clear Overrides to clear only character-level overrides, or press Command-Shift or Ctrl-Shift as you click to clear paragraph-level overrides. 8 Significantly enhanced Microsoft Word/RTF import filter The standard delivery format for many handoffs from a writer or editor is a Microsoft Word or RTF file, so importing, flowing, and restyling Word and RTF files is a daily part of a designer’s life. With InDesign CS2, you can exercise much finer control over your Microsoft Word and RTF file import, and save significant time styling your layouts. In the past, when you imported a Word file, you could control whether to remove text and table formatting and how InDesign handled converted tables and manual page breaks. Now you can control so much more: • Remove styles and formatting Just as in the previous version, you can choose to strip out the styles and formatting. However, with InDesign CS2, you can now choose to preserve local overrides. So, if your writer has carefully italicized words that need special emphasis, you don’t need to comb back through the text trying to catch and restyle them all after you’ve placed the unformatted text. Style Microsoft Word files on import by mapping styles in Word files to styles in your InDesign document. In this interview, complex was formatting was applied automatically by mapping Word styles to InDesign paragraph styles with nested character styles in their definition. • Preserve styles and formatting When you choose to preserve styles and formatting, you can control how InDesign handles style conflicts, inline graphics, and unused styles. For example, InDesign will now flag the number of style name conflicts for you to assess. If you’re importing styles automatically, you can then specify whether the style in the InDesign file is used, whether it’s redefined to match the incoming style, or whether the incoming style is auto-renamed. You can even customize your style import by mapping styles in the Word file to styles in your InDesign layout. Then InDesign automatically reassigns the Word styles to InDesign styles on import so the text comes in properly styled, saving you significant time. Accessing Microsoft Word import options To access Microsoft Word import options, choose File > Place, locate the Word file you want to import, choose Show Import Options, and click Open. If you select an RTF file, the RTF Import Options dialog box opens with the same options as you have available for Word import. Choose whether InDesign converts Word styles to InDesign styles, or autorenames styles with name conflicts. In addition to mapping styles and controlling style conflicts, you can preserve page breaks, change tracking, inline graphics, table of contents text, indexes, footnotes, and endnotes. For example, if you maintain tracked changes on import and then assign the story to an editor working in InCopy CS2, the editor can view and interact with those tracked changes (requires Adobe InCopy LiveEdit plug-ins). • Save Word import presets Most InDesign users are aware of how invaluable presets can be in ensuring consistent PDF export and print settings or in quickly opening new documents with standard settings. Now, InDesign CS2 makes presets available for Microsoft Word import. You save these presets in much the same way as you would New Document presets: Simply specify the settings you want in the Microsoft Word Import Options dialog box. Then click the Save Preset button, name the preset, and click OK. The preset then appears on the popup menu at the top of the dialog box. These presets are particularly useful in workflows where you regularly receive Word files from certain writers—just imagine being able to quickly and consistently map the styles they use regularly to the ones you use in your layouts on import. Working with inline graphics in Word files When you import inline graphics in a Word file, InDesign places them as anchored objects and positions them using the original Word dimensions and parameters. You can the modify these settings by selecting the anchored object and choosing Object > Anchored Object > Default Options. Smart text handling Over the years of listening to customers describe how they work and what they need, it’s clear that a lot of the daily work of design is in the small details. That’s why, with each new release of InDesign, we’ve focused on continuously fine-tuning how the program handles these details. For example, in magazine, newspaper, and book publishing production, a significant amount of every day is spent just interacting with 9 Setting preferences for dragging and dropping text Note that the ability to drag and drop text is controlled by a preference setting. For Story Editor, dragging and dropping text is on by default. For Layout View, it’s off by default and must be activated by choosing InDesign > Preferences > Type (Mac OS) or Edit > Preferences > Type (Windows). text—moving it around or fine-tuning how it fits the space available or selecting a font to use in formatting it. With InDesign CS2, all of those tasks are easier and more efficient to perform, freeing you to focus more on other parts of your work. Here’s a quick look: Drag and drop text With InDesign CS2, you can now drag and drop text within and between text frames in your layout, within or between instances of the Story Editor window, between multiple views of a document, and between documents. For example, you could spot the perfect pull quote in a run of text, highlight those lines, and drag and drop them into a placeholder frame to quickly create the pull quote. Here are a few tips on how to drag and drop text: To move text, highlight it and then click and drag it to a new location. To copy rather than move text, click on highlighted text and then press Option or Alt as you drag it to a new location. To create a new text frame on the fly, click on highlighted text and press Command or Ctrl as you drag it. To create a new frame and copy text into it, press Command-Option or Ctrl-Alt. To drag and drop a copy of text into a frame that you create on the fly, highlight it, press CommandOption or Ctrl-Alt, and drag it to a new location. Then style it to make a pull quote or other element. Paste without formatting InDesign CS2 now lets you choose how to paste text—with or without its original formatting. When you cut or copy text from one location in a document and choose Edit > Paste in another location, the text maintains its original formatting. When you choose Edit > Paste Without Formatting, InDesign strips the existing formatting and the pasted text inherits the formatting applied where it’s being pasted. By default, InDesign also strips the original formatting from text that’s pasted from other applications, and you can reset a preference to change this default behavior. WYSIWYG font menus Make swifter judgements about which font to use by activating WYSIWYG font menus. Just choose InDesign > Preferences > Type (Mac OS) or Edit > Preferences > Type (Windows) and select the Font Preview Size option. Then the Font menus on the Type menu and in the Control palette and Character palette display samples of the font for you to preview and indicate what type of font they are (OpenType®, TrueType, or PostScript®). Overset text and vertical depth indicators in Story Editor Quickly view whether text is overset when working in the Story Editor, which displays a line that precisely demarcates what’s visible in a text frame from what runs over. Also view a vertical depth ruler along the left edge of the Story Editor window. View samples of fonts in any Font menu (requires that you activate a Type preference). Automated removal of extra spaces Don’t worry about extra spaces in your copy because InDesign CS2 adds or removes appropriate spacing when you cut, paste, or replace text. 10 Enhanced dictionary and spelling check Now you can refine the hyphenation and spelling of text in your design communications more quickly and easily thanks to the many improvements in dictionary management and spelling check in Adobe InDesign CS2. Here’s a quick overview: More flexible dictionary management InDesign CS2 gives you much more flexibility in working with user dictionaries. A user dictionary contains the words that you want to add or remove from consideration when spell-checking and hyphenating a document. It’s essentially a list of word exceptions that can be stored in an external dictionary file or within a document. With InDesign CS2, you can link to more than one user dictionary, even in different locations. For example, you could link to a user dictionary stored on your hard drive that contains your project-specific exceptions and another one located on a server that reflects your corporate style guide. You can also import and export word lists from user dictionaries, making it easier to add and share word lists. Dynamic Spelling When you enable Dynamic Spelling (Edit > Spelling > Dynamic Spelling), InDesign CS2 automatically flags any words that appear to be misspelled. You can then right-click (Windows) or Ctrl-click (Mac OS) those words and select a suggested correction, delete a repeated word, capitalize the word, or choose to ignore all instances of it. One-click additions to user dictionaries InDesign CS2 makes it significantly faster to add words to a user dictionary. When you’re performing a spell-check (Edit > Spelling > Check Spelling), you simply click the Add button to add a flagged word to the exceptions list. If you’re evaluating words flagged by dynamic spelling, you can right-click (Windows) or Ctrl-click (Mac OS) to add the word to a user dictionary. Right-click a flagged word to add it to a user dictionary as an exception. Activate dynamic spelling to have InDesign automatically flag misspelled, repeated, and uncapitalized words (or sentences). Automatic spelling correction InDesign CS2 features automatic spelling correction. When you enable this option, InDesign automatically fixes capitalization errors and typing mistakes as you type using a short built-in list of common mistakes, plus any word additions you make. Activate this option by choosing InDesign > Preferences > Autocorrect (Mac OS) or Edit > Preferences > Autocorrect (Windows). Then check Enable Autocorrect, specify a language, and add to the list of commonly misspelled words. You can also activate and deactivate this option on the fly by choosing Edit > Spelling > Autocorrect. Additional dictionaries included InDesign has long included 20 Proximity language dictionaries to help you correctly hyphenate, spell-check, and automatically insert correct quotation and other marks in a variety of languages. Now InDesign includes additional dictionaries for Czech, Greek, Hungarian, Polish, Russian, Slovak, Turkish, and Canadian English, bringing the total to 28 dictionaries. Footnotes Adobe InDesign CS2 directly supports footnotes. You can create footnotes within an InDesign document or convert footnotes in a Microsoft Word or RTF file into InDesign footnotes on import. To create a footnote, you place an insertion point in text where you want the reference number to appear, choose Type > Insert Footnote (or right-click in the text and choose Insert Footnote), and then type your footnote text. To return to your place in the text, choose Type > Go to Footnote Reference. 11 As you would expect, InDesign CS2 provides extensive control over footnotes. You can, for example, specify how footnotes are numbered, what text styles are applied to the footnote number and footnote text, the spacing in and around footnotes, the use of rules to divide the footnote area from the rest of the page, whether footnotes can break across columns, and so on. What makes footnotes particularly powerful, though, is how smoothly they adapt to change. If, for example, you resize a multi-column text frame with footnotes, the footnotes reflow as easily as the rest of your text. Specify baseline grid settings for text frames to mix and match leading values in your layouts. Also save frame-based baseline grids in object styles for quick, consistent application. Frame-based baseline grids Baseline grids are used to align columns of text consistently across pages. They typically represent the leading value for the body text in a document. However, if you pick up different magazines, catalogs, and books, you’ll notice that spreads in those communications often use different leading values on different parts of the page. For example, the leading for the main flow of body text may differ from the leading for sidebars, and not always in easy multiples of each other. In the past, you had to choose which baseline to favor and then fudge to get the others to align right. With InDesign CS2, this process gets easier because you can now set baseline grids at the text frame level. Then your text always has a grid to snap to, even when you’re rotating those frames or otherwise manipulating your layouts. To create frame-based baseline grids, drag out a text frame, choose Object > Text Frame Options, and specify the baseline grid settings you want. Be sure to make baseline grids visible by choosing View > Grids & Guides > Baseline Grid. You can also create object styles with different baseline grid options to quickly set up consistent combinations of baseline grids across a document. For more information about object styles, see page 5. Enhanced XML support The XML support in Adobe InDesign is known for its extraordinary flexibility. For example, tagging elements works similarly to applying paragraph and character styles, so it’s easy for designers in a publishing process to adapt to it. Mapping controls enable you to map XML tags to InDesign styles to quickly style imported XML content, or to automatically tag styled content for export as XML. You can choose whether or not to validate your XML structure through built-in support for DTD files. And everything in InDesign is scriptable, enabling technical and design people to collaborate on creating better XML-based production workflows. Adobe InDesign CS2 takes this flexible XML control to a new level with smart XML import and new support for tagging table content. Now, on import, you can set the following options: Create link Enables you to link InDesign files to XML files. Then if changes occur, the Links palette alerts you to the changes, and you can easily update the content in the InDesign file. Clone Repeating Text Elements Automatically applies the formatting from tagged text placeholders to repeating elements in imported XML files. For example, import and automatically format multiple items with the same structure, such as cookbook recipes or price lists. Only Import Elements that Match Existing Structure Automatically eliminates content from the XML file that does not match the structure in your tagged template. Enhanced XML import options give you greater control, making it easier to achieve the results you want. New support for tagging table content enables you to import and export structured table content. 12 Import Text Elements Into Tables If Tags Match Imports elements into a table if the tags in the XML file match the tags applied to the table and its cells. For example, design and tag a table in InDesign, and then flow database records with product information or news information into the table. Do Not Import Contents of Whitespace-only Elements Preserves existing content in an XML template if the matching XML content contains whitespace, such as a return or tab character. Delete Elements, Frames, And Content That Do Not Match Imported XML Automatically removes elements from the InDesign Structure pane and layout that do not match the incoming XML structure. With this support, you can set up conditional template objects that drop out if the incoming XML content doesn’t flow into them. New support for tagging tables enables you to flow XML content into tables on import, automatically adding rows as needed to accommodate the content. You can also round-trip tagged XML table content into and out of InDesign files easily. InDesign CS2 also introduces attribute-based style mapping: styling information can be embedded in an XML file as attributes. InDesign will then apply the specified styles on import. If a style is not available, InDesign will create one on the fly for you to modify. This new support enables you to move styling decisions earlier in the workflow and is really useful for formatting dynamic content, such as data from news feeds and other XML-based web services. Put your creativity in control Adobe InDesign CS2 builds on its five-year history of delivering extraordinary creativity tools by introducing key new features. Now you can control the visibility of layers in imported Photoshop and PDF files, anchor objects to text, apply transformations to successive objects more efficiently, convert shapes with the click of a mouse, and so much more. Browse this section to learn all the new ways that InDesign CS2 supports the creative process. Control visibility of layers in native Adobe Photoshop and PDF files Adobe InDesign has long transformed creative workflows with its built-in support for native Photoshop, Illustrator, and PDF files. Now Adobe InDesign CS2 introduces a new level of support for native Adobe file formats: You can control the visibility of layers in imported Photoshop and PDF files. You can even hide or show layer comps in Photoshop files. (Layer comps are alternative versions of Photoshop compositions, with different combinations of layer visibility, position, and appearance, saved in the same file.) Controlling the visibility of layers in Adobe Illustrator files To control the visibility of Illustrator layers within InDesign files, you must first save these files in Adobe PDF 1.5 or 1.6 format. Just choose File > Save As in Illustrator, specify Adobe PDF for format, and click Save. Be sure Create Acrobat Layers from Top-level Layers is checked. Then, when you place the PDF file into InDesign CS2, you can specify which layers are visible. Easily incorporate or try out different versions of the same image in your layouts, and link the variations to the same PSD or Adobe PDF files thanks to new support for controlling layer visibility. This new control over layer visibility enables you to experiment more freely with your ideas in the context of your design layouts. You could, for example, try out three different Photoshop layer comps, all stored in a single Photoshop file, in three versions of an InDesign page that you want to show your client or art director. You could also use this feature to composite images in an InDesign file. You might, for example, overlap the 13 same image with different layers made visible or invisible and with beautifully formatted, live text positioned between them. When using layer overrides in imported PSD and PDF files, we recommend careful communication with your production staff and service provider to avoid anyone flattening the image for output without your knowledge. InDesign now displays an icon in the Links palette next to any files with layer overrides. It also reports layer overrides in the Preflight dialog box. In InDesign, layer visibility can be specified on import by checking Show Import Options in the Place dialog box (File > Place), and then selecting which layers to make visible. You can preview different layers as you make your choice, and specify how InDesign handles layer visibility if you edit and update the file—by honoring the layer visibility in the file or the override you specified on import. Once you place a file, you can change the layer visibility at any time by choosing Object > Object Layer Options or by right-clicking the file and choosing Graphics > Object Layer Options from the context-sensitive menu. Anchored objects With InDesign CS2, the notion of inline graphics takes a big leap forward. Now, when you place an insertion point in text with the type tool and then paste or place an object or frame into place, that object becomes an anchored object. You can position that object inline as you have in the past, or anywhere overlapping or outside of the text frame. The object then retains its relationship to the text and travels with it if the text moves for any reason. Anchored objects create ongoing relationships between specific text and the art, pull quotes, sidebars, callouts, or other elements that illuminate that text. They free you from tracking these elements so you can focus on other aspects of your design. The real power of anchored objects comes through in how other InDesign features support this new feature. For example, applying text wrap to an anchored object ensures that text flows correctly around the object where it overlaps the text. You can also specify that the anchored object retain a relationship to the spine of a document. The anchored object will then flip its position—and any text wrap that’s applied—if you move the text frame from a left page to a right page, or vice versa. If that text has a paragraph style applied with the alignment option set in relationship to the spine, the alignment of the text will also flip when you move the text frame. Verso page: Anchor graphics to text, so the graphics overlap the text frame or float outside of it. Even apply text wrap to overlapping objects. Recto page: If the anchored objects have a specified relationship to the spine, and you move them from a left to a right page , they’ll automatically flip their orientation. 14 To create an anchored object, you first click an insertion point with the Type tool and then paste or place the object into the flow of text. Then select that object with the Selection tool and choose Object > Anchored Object > Options, or right-click/Ctrl-click and choose Anchored Object > Options. Note InDesign now imports frames and text boxes in Microsoft Word documents as anchored objects, and it embeds anchored objects in exported RTF files. For more information, see “Significantly enhanced Microsoft Word/RTF import filter” on page 8. Transform Again If you’ve ever performed a sequence of transformations—moving, scaling, rotating, or skewing—on an object and wanted to quickly repeat those exact steps on another object, you’ll love the new Transform Again commands. InDesign CS2 introduces four commands—Transform Again, Transform Again Individually, Transform Sequence Again, and Transform Sequence Again Individually—to give you optimal flexibility and speed in applying transformations to one or more objects. Fine-tune the relationship your anchored objects have to related text. With Transform Again, you can move, scale, rotate, or skew a selected object. Then immediately select one or more objects and choose Transform Again to apply the same transformation to those objects. If you have multiple selected objects, they move as a group around a transformation axis. Transform Again Individually applies a single transformation to multiple objects. However, those objects are treated individually with each transformed on its own individual transformation axis. Transform Sequence Again performs a sequence of transformations on an object or group of objects. For example, you can scale, skew, and rotate an object. Then immediately select another object or group of objects and apply Transform Sequence Again. Just as with Transform Again, multiple selected objects are treated as a group and the transformations are applied on a group axis. Transform Sequence Again Individually applies a sequence of transformations to multiple selected objects, each on its own axis. Easily switch from one basic shape to another of the same size using Pathfinder controls. Repeat transformations from one object to others. Shape-to-shape conversion and new Paths commands It’s easier and faster than ever to create shapes for your layouts thanks to new shape-to-shape conversion and Paths commands. Now you can draw a rectangle, rounded-rectangle, ellipse, or polygon, change your mind about the shape it should be, and easily convert it to another shape of the same size. Just select the shape and choose commands from the Object > Convert Shapes submenu or click options on the Pathfinder palette. Alternative shapes include rectangle, rounded rectangle, beveled rectangle, inverse rounded rectangle, ellipse, triangle, or polygon. In addition, you can quickly open a closed path, close an open path, or reverse a path’s direction using the new Paths commands on the Object menu or in the Pathfinder palette. From rounded rectangle… …to pentagon with one click. 15 Noise & Spread options for drop shadows First introduced in InDesign 2.0, drop shadows are one of the prized creative features in the InDesign toolset. InDesign CS2 introduces two new options to control the appearance of drop shadows onscreen and in print: Noise and Spread. The Noise option adds random artifacts to a drop shadow to produce a rougher texture. This grainier—or noisier—texture tends to band less in print, producing a more appealing drop shadow. (The new Noise option is also available when you apply feathering to an object.) The Spread option interacts with the Blur setting and controls the extent of the blur. Basically, the Blur option sets the outer edge of the blur, while the Spread option sets the extent of the drop shadow up to where the blur begins. A 100% setting for Spread, for example, would effectively eliminate the blur, creating a sharp-edged drop shadow. You can adjust the Blur and Spread options to produce just the visual result you want for your drop shadows. Note Do you use certain combinations of drop shadow settings on a recurring basis? Save time and produce more consistent results by saving those settings as new InDesign object styles for ongoing use. For more information, see “Object styles” on page 5. Place an image in a frame and then click the Fill Frame Proportionally button on the Control palette to have it fit exactly to the frame. Fill Frame Proportionally command InDesign CS2 introduces a new command (Object > Fitting > Fill Frame Proportionally) for proportionally filling a frame with its contents. (To apply this command from the Control palette, click the Fill Frame Proportionally button.) Here’s how it works: by default in InDesign, the contents of a frame appears in the upper-left corner when you place or paste it into a frame. If the frame and its contents are different sizes, you can then use the InDesign Fitting commands—available on the Object > Fitting submenu and in the context-sensitive Control palette—to automatically achieve the fit you want. In the past, these options included centering the contents in the frame, fitting the frame to its contents, or fitting the contents to the frame. Fitting the contents to the frame worked well when the two had the same aspect ratio. However, in other cases, you might either see white space between the frame and its contents (because you chose Fit Content Proportionally) or stretched content (because you chose Fit Content to Frame no matter the difference in aspect ratio). Now the Fill Frame Proportionally command enables you to proportionally fill a frame with its contents, while neither stretching the content, nor allowing white space. Plug into the power of Adobe integration Adobe InDesign CS2 software integrates more tightly with Photoshop, Illustrator, GoLive, InCopy, and Acrobat 7.0 Professional than any other page layout program available today. The power of this integration is apparent whether you’re learning a new InDesign CS2 feature more quickly because you’re already familiar with it from another Adobe application, working with native Photoshop and Illustrator files in your page layouts, or setting up more streamlined editorial or web workflows thanks to tighter integration with InCopy and GoLive. Tighter integration with Adobe InCopy CS2 Adobe InCopy CS2 software is a professional writing and editing program that integrates tightly with Adobe InDesign CS2 to support collaborative editorial workflows for small creative teams. Thanks to the InCopy LiveEdit workflow plug-ins, designers and editors can work in parallel on the same InDesign CS2 document without overriding each other’s work. Editors get 100% accurate information about line breaks as well as updatable views of the actual page design, so they can more easily write and edit copy to fit. Parallel workflows deliver significant benefits: fewer review and revision cycles between designers and editors, better editorial control over copy, and ultimately faster delivery of publications to market. Assignments A true collaborative workflow needs to adapt to the different ways that creative groups work in parallel. For many workflows, designers may need to break up editorial access to documents in a variety of ways. In some instances, the designer may need to give one editor complete access to everything in a file or on a spread. At other times, the designer may need to break up a single page among multiple editors working on specific parts. Editors also need different levels of access to the content in a document. Sometimes they may want to see only what they need to edit, while at other times they may want to see more. 16 Graphics control Not all workflows are the same. In some publishing workflows, editors are only allowed to touch the words. In other workflows, an editor may be responsible for an entire spread or content section, including the editorial and accompanying graphics. In those workflows, the editor typically does not decide where graphics get positioned on the page. However, the editor does need to select, place, crop, scale, and sometimes even rotate or skew graphics in place. That’s why Adobe InCopy CS2 introduces the ability for editors to place graphics into assigned frames and transform those graphics as needed. The designer retains final control over this process because only the designer has the power to assign graphics frames to an editor. Preview all of the pages in an Adobe PDF file and select which pages to place at one time: Only the page that’s visible in the preview, all of the pages in the file, or a range of pages that you specify. Adobe InDesign CS2 and InCopy CS2 introduce an intuitive new assignments workflow that enables designers and editors to collaborate better on their shared workflow. Now designers can add specific content to editorial assignments. For example, a designer might want to add everything associated with an article—the headline, byline, body copy, sidebars, graphics, and captions—to one assignment. Or, a designer might want to parcel out these same elements as separate assignments, giving the main body copy to one editor, while another editor handles the sidebars. When the designer exports the assignment, he or she also controls what’s visible in the file—only the assigned frames, all of the spreads with assigned frames, or the entire document. Editors can then check out their assigned content in InCopy to enter their edits as the designer continues finessing the layout. Assignments allow workgroups to set up real multi-user documents, so designers and editors can collaborate even more closely over the many editorial passes most content requires. A designer can tweak the layout, while one editor does a substantive edit on one part of a spread and another editor does a copy-edit pass on another part. With the assignments workflow, designers and editors can achieve a new level of workflow efficiency. With InDesign, designers can now assign specific content to editors who are working in parallel on the layout. The designer can even limit what’s visible so the editor focuses on only what’s assigned. The editor then opens the assignment in InCopy CS2 (shown here) and checks assigned content out for editing with the Assignments palette. This flexible new workflow enables designers and editors to work more collaboratively than ever. Ability to import multi-page Adobe PDF files Adobe InDesign CS2 once again expands its extraordinary support for importing and export Adobe PDF files, this time by enabling you to place multiple pages at once in an imported PDF file. This new capability is particularly useful in graphics intensive production workflows where PDF files are the norm for handoffs—for example, in laying out display ads in newspapers. Now when you import PDF files, you can specify whether to import a single page, a range of pages, or all of the pages in the file. With multiple PDF pages, the InDesign cursor displays a plus (+) sign until all of the pages are placed. Simply click to place each page. You can easily change your mind and delete a page—or move it to a different location—as you work. Just press Command or Ctrl to switch temporarily to the Selection tool and make a change, then go on placing the pages from the PDF. If you prefer to place all of the pages at once in a cascade, and then start moving them around your page, just import the PDF and press Option or Alt as you click. 17 Backwards compatibility to enable InDesign CS2 content to open in InDesign CS Designers often need to be able to hand off files to others who are still working in older versions of the software. That’s why InDesign CS2 outputs files that smoothly open in the previous version, InDesign CS. Just choose File > Export, select the InDesign Interchange Format, and then click Save. InDesign CS2 automatically generates an INX file, which will open in InDesign CS as an untitled document (as long as you have the supporting plug-ins for InDesign CS, which will be available on the Adobe website). Note that some changes to your document may occur because InDesign CS does not support all of the new features in InDesign CS2. Note The INX file preserves the content and geometry of the original InDesign CS2 file. When the INX file is opened in InDesign CS, it is read by the InDesign scripting engine which uses the data to accurately recreate the file (minus any InDesign CS2 data that isn’t supported by InDesign CS). The INX format is an XMLbased technology framework that takes advantage of the powerful scripting capabilities in InDesign (the InDesign Document Object Model is completely scriptable, so virtually anything can be reproduced with scripts). This INX format underlies several innovations in InDesign CS2, including InDesign snippets and assignments. For more details on snippets, see page 5, and on assignments, see page 15. Consistent color For many designers, being able to view colors consistently onscreen from application to application has been the Holy Grail of design—highly desirable but ever so elusive. Adobe InDesign CS2 and the Adobe Creative Suite 2 solve this problem with one-click access to consistent onscreen color. Using the Adobe Bridge, you can click a preset to synchronize color settings across all of the components in the Suite. Then, when you move artwork among your applications—whether you’re creating a logo in Illustrator and dropping it into InDesign, or moving art back and forth between Photoshop and Illustrator and then into InDesign—the colors you see onscreen will look consistent at every stage. You can choose among a wide range of presets that support common workflows, create your own presets, or use the ones your service provider provides. In addition to one-click access to consistent onscreen color, InDesign CS2 and the Adobe Creative Suite 2 offer other benefits such as: With a single click, ensure consistent onscreen color across the applications in the Adobe Creative Suite 2: Select a color settings file with the Adobe Bridge to synchronize settings across InDesign CS2 and other components of Adobe Creative Suite 2, including Photoshop and Illustrator. • Shared color swatches You can now define color swatches in any component of the Adobe Creative Suite 2 and then share those swatches across other components. For example, you could define a set of swatches for the artwork you create in Illustrator. Then move that artwork to InDesign, and load the same set of swatches into your InDesign file to use in the page layout. This saves you time, and ensures consistent color results across your design work. • Safe CMYK workflows In the past, it’s been challenging to output InDesign documents that contained both CMYK objects and color-managed RGB objects. If color management was turned on, you ran the risk of unwanted changes to your CMYK colors. If color management was off, you had to manually convert RGB objects to CMYK. Now, by default, InDesign CS2 supports a “safe CMYK” workflow when you export PDF files or print, automatically converting RGB objects to CMYK while preserving other CMYK values. • Customizable blacks onscreen In previous color-managed workflows, InDesign accurately displayed blacks onscreen as they would appear in print. However, this display was sometimes disconcerting to designers because the black—while correct—looked lighter than blacks in other applications. Now you can decide whether InDesign should produce a richer black onscreen and in proof prints to RGB devices or whether it should display an accurate black as it did in the past. Neither setting affects color-separated CMYK output. Consistent Adobe PDF generation Adobe InDesign CS2 now exports Adobe PDF files to Acrobat 7.0 (PDF 1.6) format, as well as to Acrobat 4.0–6.0 formats. As a component of the Adobe Creative Suite 2, InDesign CS2 also supports the enhancements to Adobe PDF workflow provided by the Creative Suite. These enhancements were designed to make 18 Adobe PDF generation more intuitive, reliable, and consistent no matter whether you’re exporting a PDF file from InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, or GoLive. They include: • Support for global Adobe PDF Export presets, so that InDesign and the other components of the Creative Suite can all use the same presets to output PDF files more consistently—whether those presets are predefined by Adobe or customized by you or your service provider. • A single standard location into which InDesign and other Creative Suite components save PDF presets. • A new set of default PDF Export presets, which support common workflows and can be used from any component in the Creative Suite, including InDesign (these presets are consistent with Acrobat Distiller® job options). These presets include Smallest File Size for Adobe PDF files being distributed on the web, High-Quality Print for design comps; Press for high-quality print production; PDF/X-1a and PDF/X-3 for high-end print workflows that support these ISO standards; and Rich Content for interactive PDF files. • A more streamlined and consistent user interface for PDF Export across the components of the Creative Suite. For example, InDesign now provides preset descriptions to help you choose the right one. (You can write descriptions to go with your custom presets.) It also displays the Compatibility and Standard menus at the top of the dialog box to make it easier to see how different choices affect the options available on each pane. Enhanced support for Package for GoLive Designers are called on more and more often to repurpose content from one medium to another. That’s why InDesign CS introduced a new feature called Package for GoLive to help designers more easily re-purpose their print content on the web. Now InDesign CS2 offers more control by enabling you to package selected objects or specified pages, as well as complete documents, for handoff. You or your web design colleagues can then open the package in GoLive and drag and drop these objects into the web layouts. In addition, GoLive delivers enhanced integration with InDesign at the other end of the workflow: It can now open a package and export it directly as XHTML pages to jumpstart the web design process. Support for JDF Adobe InDesign CS2 supports the Job Definition Format (JDF), an electronic job ticket that accompanies a PDF file and provides detailed information about how the job was created. JDF files can improve communications with people who need to process the PDF files—for example, in high-end PDF-based print workflows—and help to minimize costly misunderstandings. When you export a PDF file from InDesign CS2, you can now create a JDF file for it, as long as you have Acrobat 7.0 Professional installed on the same system. During export, InDesign hands off to Acrobat 7.0, which generates the JDF file and opens it for you to view and make additional changes. Additional enhancements Adobe InDesign CS2 continues a long InDesign tradition of being packed with major new features, as well as dozens of enhancements. Here are a few enhancements not to be missed: • Built-in support for Adobe PageMaker® users All of the features in the Adobe PageMaker Plug-in Pack have been rolled into InDesign CS2. These include the ability to convert PageMaker 6.0 files, a set of PageMaker 7.0-compatible keyboard shortcuts, data merge support, the InBooklet Special Edition plug-in for basic imposition, automated bullets and numbering, the Position tool, and the PageMaker toolbar. • Show in Finder or Windows Explorer You can now select a file in the Links palette or right-click/ Ctrl-click an image on an InDesign page and choose Graphics > Reveal In [Finder/Explorer or Bridge] to immediately switch to and view the linked file in the folder where it’s stored. • Enhanced Library palette The Library palette now supports XML structure, so you can store and re- use XML-tagged content in the palette. In addition, you can add multiple selected objects on a page as separate items in a library in one move. And you can update items in a library directly. Use a keyboard shortcut to go straight from a file in your layout to viewing it in the Finder/Explorer or Adobe Bridge. 19 • Multi-page export to JPEG You can now export multiple InDesign pages at once as JPEG files. • Optimizing images for preview and placement Have you ever placed a JPEG image from a digital camera and had it import at an enormous size? InDesign now computes an optimal size to save you the time of resizing the image. It also offers faster display of thumbnail previews for Photoshop EPS and raster images. • Stylistic sets Certain OpenType fonts, such as Poetica Standard, include grouped sets of alternate fonts that Add and update objects in a library more easily. can be applied to one character or an entire run of text. You can now access these using the Character, Control, Character Styles, and Paragraph Styles palettes. • Slashed zero You can automatically set slashed zeros in fonts that support it using controls in the Character, Control, Character Styles, and Paragraph Styles palettes. • New selection handles for grouped objects It’s easier to identify grouped objects thanks to a new dotted line bounding box. • Align away or towards spine The Paragraph and Control palettes now include controls for aligning text away from or towards the spine of a document. • Move pages dialog box The Pages palette now lets you use a Move Pages dialog box (available on the palette menu) to move pages from one location to another. • Hyphenate last word The Hyphenation Settings dialog box includes a control for allowing the last word in a Identify grouped objects at a glance because they now have a dotted line bounding box. paragraph to hyphenate. • Easier QuarkXPress Passport file conversion InDesign can now convert documents and templates from multi-language QuarkXPress Passport 3.3 and 4.1x files without those files being saved to a single language. • Lock column guides You can now lock column guide separately from ruler guides. Availability and pricing Set new options in the Paragraph palette to align text towards or away from the spine.
