Again a great videocast!
A pure concentrate of useful tips. Some I didn’t know and some I did know but never use and forgot.

I didn’t know about the shift-enter. This one is definitely a must!

Thanks a lot

@frank: Sorry for the confusion. You did find the show notes… they’re just the notes from above. Sorry, we don’t offer a PDF or handout or something like that for these free videocasts at this time.

you mentioned show notes at the end of one of your video cast show #5 on guides. I cannot find them. I am assuming that these are notes and tips from the videocast. Please direct me to them. thanks for all you and your staff are doing.

@Travis: So glad these tips helped! However, I believe it’s Shift-Enter…

OMG ctrl + enter applies change but keeps control bar field highlighted just changed my life!!!! That will save me so much back and forth mouse time. I had been using ctrl + alt + ~ to return to previous field but this trick is even better!!

Thanks so much guys!

Great videocast!

I just put up a script (which I had lying around on my computer for a good couple of years) which can select guides by their orientation.

You should also also take a look at one of the script included in Indesign call: “AddGuides” that allow you, among others options, to draw guides around selected objects or group, or centered on objects and group. Pretty useful tool.
