Fred; AutoFit currently is NOT compatible with InDesign ME. We are hopeful that we’ll get the support from WinSoft that we need to ship an ME-compatible version in the future.

I’m listening to the live quizzler from the NYC conference. How many ways to make a duplicate of an object.

I liked David’s tip that you can duplicate an object by pressing the Option/Alt key with any of the Control panel transform fields

And a previous person said you can copy an object with the Move dialog box by pressing Copy.

But you all forgot that you can duplicate a object using any of the Transform commands such as Scale, Rotate, and Shear. Just enter 0 as the offsets and click Copy.

You can also use the Scale, Rotate, and Shear TOOLS with the Option/Alt key to make a duplicate.

Hi Fred; yes, I know what they are (see some of my other books). Would AutoFit be helpful for this? Yes, I suppose so, but I have no idea if this plug-in works with the ME version of InDesign.

David,

The auto-Fit plug in sounds very interesting.

Since you’ve been throwing in all these Yiddish words, I’ll ask you straight out, do you know what a Gemorrah or Talmud is?

Do you think this plug-in would be useful in trying to lay out this type of work?

That was a lot of fun to listen to (and a hell of a lot easier on my feet .

The whole InDesign Conference was great, and it was nice meeting some of the regular contributors to this board (Branislav and Marco come to mind).
