Wow, thank-you for this quick and simple tip. I’ve been looking all over the web AND InDesign help menus and couldn’t find it. And here you have it for us, in just a few simple sentences. Thank-you!

Is there any way to save document preferences like this to share with co-workers or to save in case your computer crashes and you lose your preferences?

Rich, for your presets to be saved into your exported file, you must select/highlight every preset you want exported to the file. My experience has led me to select everything EXCEPT the “Default” setting, since that will add “Default 1″ to the already present “Default” on the machine you are importing to.

Okay. I save my CS3 print presets. Put on server. I boot into CS4 on my other machine. I load the presets and the only new addition I see is default 1

@ Dewey. I was able to specify the tray.

File>Print Presets>Define
Select the desired preset
Edit
Click the Setup button at the bottom
Click the Preferences button
Look for a Basic Tab with an Input Tray pulldown.

Beth, CS4 supports conditional text, meaning that you can have a condition for each market area and the text will adjust accordingly. However, for the different logos you could use layers — or perhaps if the graphics are anchored in the text, conditional text can affect those too. I haven’t tried the feature myself…

I am a novice to InDesign, but so far, I love it! Question: I have many documents that need to be customized for certain market areas (different city titles, different logos, etc.). Is there a way to create one master file and then load up customized conditions that I could use to interface with the one master file. Right now, I end up having several different versions of each file, which is an editing/updating nightmare.

Is there a software interface/plug-in I can use for this?

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

@Anthony: I’m not sure, but it appears that print presets are simply stored inside the file called “InDesign Defaults”, which is the program’s basic preferences file.

My wife uses InDesign and her laptop just took a dump. We replaced it and loaded InDesign and transferred all of her files and settings to the new laptop. We cannot get the print presets. Is there a file on her old hard drive where these settings are? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
