This Week in InDesign Articles, Number 65
It’s a beautiful day in the InDesign neighborhood! Hi neighbor, welcome to our neighborhood! We hope you enjoy the approximately one bazillion blog posts about InDesign here at indesignsecrets. But if that’s not enough to quench your thirst, here are a bunch of other posts, videos, links, and more you should find interesting:
- Kelly is up to no good again… or perhaps it’s very good! Using InDesign’s tables to create cool patterns.
- I love these “Stunningly Creative and Unforgettable Print Ads.”
- Most InDesign users don’t know the benefits of compound frames; check out this tutorial on them!
- There’s a new InCopy book book in town
- Watch our contributor James Fritz talk about “mapping tags to export tags” for epub, pdf, and html (at adobe.tv, but from his lynda.com title)
- Badia’s Exporttools is the first InDesign plug-in in the apple store? Fascinating!
- What if you want more than 30 recently-opened documents? Check out a video on how this new freebie plug-in can keep track of all your recent files.
- While I would love for y’all to watch my InDesign training at lynda.com, it’s not the only training in town! Sandee Cohen has recently produced a two-hour introduction for beginners to InDesign for PhotoshopCafe.
- Hey, speaking of Sandee, here’s a fun article she wrote for cpro: Five Healthy Habits in InDesign
- Terry White shows you how to create an InDesign document, from start to finish, in his recent Creative Suite Podcast.
- On a Mac? Need to clean up your text before importing it into InDesign? Keith Gilbert gives us an update on Text Cleaner.
- Need your employees or clients to make edits in InDesign, but you’re a big company and can’t (or don’t want to) give InDesign to everyone? In this video Max Dunn at Silicon Publishing shows how their Silicon Designer system works.
Interesting stuff. Enjoy!

Lots of great stuff here, thanks!
FYI: If you’re thinking of buying the InCopy book, please note that it’s sold as a PDF which is formatted for print but cannot be printed (file permissions don’t allow it). There are no bookmarks in the PDF, nor is the index linked. Annoying! I spoke with the company that produced it, and they say they will be releasing a print version soon (don’t know when), but I have no option for printing the current one. Blah! Looks like a good book though.
Further to my previous comments, the company who published this book sent me a printout of it after I complained. It’s a good book and goes over lots of details about the program.
