I have been using DTP Tools' History plugin for a while now and it's really brilliant. Besides being able to whizz back a number of stages in a second, it also allows you to take snapshots of different versions which are saved with the document so at any stage you can pull out a previous/alternative version and work with that ... I use it almost like layer comps if I want to show clients different possibilities. It also allows you to export one or more of the versions as JPEG, PDF, INDD, etc. which is doubly useful for sending proofs to clients ... except that recently this particular function has not been working and it causes InDesign to bomb out (I'm on a PC, not sure if Mac would be similarly affected). But the DTP Tools tech guys are apparently working on it so hopefully it will all be working beautifully again soon! John Thanks for this great resource, David and also for your informative podcast.

For multi-do/undo, I've been using an altered version of a script I downloaded from the exchange a very long time ago. It's really simple, but it works great for me! I changed my default undo and redo shortcuts to call up these two scripts. In CS3, the items can be selected using only the keyboard (on the Mac: spacebar to open the drop down, arrow keys to go up and down and enter to select.) Hope you like!
