Adobe bought that technology and built it into CS3. Now, one-click formatting of Tables is nearly as easy to set up as a Paragraph Style or Object Style. Tables have more peculiarities than either of those cell inset spacing, strokes, alternating fills, header and footer rows, etc.

Figure 8. Same table, different styles. Table Styles in CS3 allow settings for header and footer rows, body rows, and left and right columns, while Cell Styles incorporate Paragraph Styles, fills, inset spacing, etc. Table and Cell Styles also provide the key to another productivity boost: placed spreadsheets that maintain links to their source document for example, an Excel file , can be edited in the external file, then updated in InDesign with the table formatting preserved.

For designers working on large financial documents and annual reports, this will be a very welcome new feature. Page-layout efficiency is taken up a notch in CS3 with a powerful pair of new options. The multi-file place feature loads your place cursor with multiple images, text, spreadsheets, PDFs, etc. Figure 9. The other half of this powerful one-two page-layout punch is the new Frame Fitting feature.

Images can be automatically sized to fit, positioned, or cropped to your specific settings when placed into frames with these Fitting options assigned to them Figure Fitting options can be included as part of an Object Style to further speed up their implementation. Figure Frames can be pre-fit by applying Frame Fitting Options such as cropping and positioning, as well as how placed images will fill the frame. Creative collaboration and workflow efficiency are both facilitated by the addition of a simple idea with enormous potential: placing native InDesign files inside other InDesign files.

With this new feature, projects can be broken up into parts of a page. One designer can be formatting a sidebar while another works on a half-page ad, and a third designs the overall layout, which will include both. As each designer updates his or her portion of the layout, the links in the main layout can be updated like any other placed file. Likewise, when preflighting and packaging a file that contains other InDesign files, the fonts and images of the placed files are also checked and collected.

Font and link warnings, and corresponding missing and modified icons in the links palette, are displayed for all placed InDesign files. There are many other, smaller features that designers will appreciate in CS3. Not Pretty…Just Pretty Powerful If the above features are the sizzle, InDesign CS3 serves up the steak in the form of powerful new automation and text-processing features that whittle down repetitive tasks and provide an impressive level of flexibility.

The best example of this is Text Variables. As conditions change modification date, number of pages in the document, re-flowed content, and so on , the variables in a file update accordingly. Running Header text variables use styles applied in the document, and where they appear, to determine what populates the variable placeholders you insert. Variable placeholders for a book folio on the master page background window , and populated by the appropriate text on the document page.

These searches can perform simple text clean-up changing dashes to em dashes, or removing trailing spaces , or they can find and format every e-mail address in a document based on the syntax of an e-mail address, or convert all U.

These are just a few examples; much more is possible. You can, for instance, search for every yellow text frame with an orange stroke, or every graphic frame with a text wrap, multiply blend mode, and rounded corners, and replace all with any modified or additional object attributes.

Need some help with doing that? Sure would be nice if Adobe would create a shortcut for this… hmmm, I wonder if you can make an action to do all of this for you? Many, many thanks for this!!!

CS3 is really rich and slick, but I miss the old InBooklet functionality. Feel free to contact me directly. Any idea how to get this print booklet to set up starting with a right-facing first page. Good luck! By using your specified method the resulting file is only about 3. Hi, i am trying to insert page numbers with in a document but am stuck.
