keeps options should be set to 1 line at the beginning of a paragraph and 2 lines at the end otherwise balancing a book will be nigh on impossible.
Boy, the Quizzler is really tough. No chance you can give a hint to everyone is there?
No hints this time, sorry! It is a tough one, but we’ve gotten a few good answers already. We’ll draw a random winner from those answers on Dec 1.
Hey, feel free to send us Quizzler questions. If we use yours in the future, we’ll send you a free InDesignSecrets Keyboard Chart.
I like my new TruMatch swatch book (replacing my Pantone book), but I do have one gripe: they don’t list the ink values in the CMYK order. I usually find it faster to just enter the color values in the color palette and create a new swatch rather than searching for the pre-loaded Pantone or TruMatch number. I am so accustomed to starting at “C” and tabbing down to enter the values that adjusting to the odd TruMatch order is causing some consternation
I am having to make like the Village People and sing “Y-M-C-K”
Good shout with the ‘J’ key - feature of the week, that one’s been driving me mad for weeks!
