incopysecrets.com rocks! Is there ‘the right place’ for Version Cue questions? Because, there isn’t that much info about Version Cue as well…
Nice podcast, keep it up!
Hi Rodrigo, thanks! But no, that’s not the right place to learn version cue stuff or post questions. Try the Version Cue forums on Adobe.com. Mordy Golding has a Version Cue blog with some great info, but he hasn’t posted since December, unfortunately.
Thank you Anne-Marie, I ask because I’m thinking in sugest Version Cue at work and I need all info I can get. IncopySecrets.com is bookmarked anyway!

Come on David, you need to make VersionCueSecrets.com!
hehehe
Fritz are you volunteering to run it? Let us know!
No, I am too busy running PagemakerSecrets and VenturaSecrets right now.
Nice job you cute-as-a-button gurus.
Great podcast, thank you! You’ve never made me laugh so much! What a fun drive in to work I had!
Keep it up, guys.
Cheers
New subscriber. Found out about your site at the CRE8 Conference in Orlando. Listened to today’s podcast – I’m hooked. I am a geek about this stuff, loved todays podcast. Great work!
RE: preflight. Did I hear you say InDesign automatically converts RGB to CMYK?
I can’t find Font Usage.
Back to the good old days… Is there an InDesign equivalent to Quark’s command+option+click to copy a paragraph’s style?
Thanks, y’all! It’s good to have you with us.
Hey, Bob! Yes, InDesign can automatically convert RGB images to CMYK when you print or export your file as PDF. It uses the same engine as Photoshop, so the quality is the same.
There is no Font Usage dialog box in InDesign. I think that was a verbal slip-up on Anne-Marie’s part. The equivalent in InDesign is Type > Find Font.
The equivalent of copying a style is the Eyedropper tool. Search for “eyedropper” in the field in the upper-right corner for more info.
