News and special offers from our sponsors:
>> CtrlPublishing offers a highly useful plugin called CtrlChanges that lets you track text changes in InDesign CS3, CS4, and CS5, just like in Microsoft Word and InCopy. With the CtrlChanges plug-in you can see the tracked changes markup in the layout as well as the Story Editor, and you can print them too! (Two features that not even the new Track Changes feature in CS5 has.) There’s a free trial available, and listeners of the podcast get a 15% discount on CtrlPublishing’s web store if you use the coupon code CTRLOFFER5.
>> PrePress Studio sells eDocker, a wonderful utility program for any InDesign CS4 or CS5 user who exports files to SWF. eDocker makes the SWFs more user-friendly in the browser because it lets you add page navigation and zoom controls, among other goodies. Try the free 3-day trial or purchase eDocker at this special URL and enter the coupon code IDS1 for 10% off.

Ctrlpublishing also makes a great plu-in called CtrlLayers which allows you to move layers from one INDD doc to another. Very useful when creating multiple documents that require a set layer structure and you didn’t to a template first.
Wahoo – great podcast – I’ve missed the last few somehow? Going to have to back and listen to them.
ebooker looks great – but I got the page-flip one, and it’s inexpensive too and I think it’s a bit nicer in it’s interface.
InDesign CS5, when I click on new features for the interface, it highlights most of them, but not them all, and it highlights some things that aren’t new, but I presume that that is because these are enhancements to the feature? (Like Mini Bridge isn’t Highlighted?) Anywho it’s not that big of a deal.
Perhaps a few more topics on things in InDesign? Seemed a bit bare of actual InDesign stuff.
