InBooklet plug-in for document imposition

Use

the InBooklet plug-in to automatically rearrange

a document’s pages with complete control over

margins, gaps, bleeds, creep, and crossover traps.

Choose among several imposition styles,

including 2-up saddle stitch, 2-up perfect bound,

and 2-, 3-, and 4-up consecutive. (See “Using

InBooklet” on page 51.)

Automated bullets and numbering

Automati-

cally create and style bulleted and numbered lists

to organize information and make it easier to

skim. Save numbered and bulleted list settings in

paragraph styles, which you can apply over and

over again. Numbered lists update automatically

when changes are made. (See “About bulleted and

numbered lists” on page 46.)

Data Merge

Create customized documents, such

as catalogs, direct mail campaigns, business cards,

form letters, and mailing labels. Merge text and

image data exported from a database or

spreadsheet and saved as a comma-delimited ﬁle

(.CSV) or as a text ﬁle (.TXT) into InDesign

layouts. Data merge is ﬂexible enough to handle

a variety of layouts, whether you’re incorporating

a single record per page to create personalized

letters or tiling multiple records per page to

generate a catalog, produce business cards, and

more. (See “Using Data Merge” on page 57.)

Position tool

Resize and move images and their

frames, or reposition image content in relation to

frames using the handy Position tool, which works

similarly to the Crop tool in PageMaker 7.0. (See

“Using the Position tool” on page 72.)

Template Browser

Jump-start your design

projects with any of the InDesign templates

included with the PageMaker Edition. Use the

Template Browser palette to browse, search for,

add, delete, and recategorize templates. (See

“Using the Template Browser palette” on page 66.)

PageMaker compatible keyboard shortcuts

shortcuts in InDesign CS to match the shortcuts

you’ve already learned in PageMaker. (See “Using

the PageMaker keyboard shortcut set” on

page 73.)

Adobe PDF ﬁles. Dock the toolbar or let it ﬂoat

over your document area. (See “Using the

PageMaker toolbar” on page 45.)
