With its sophisticated design and production controls and unmatched integration 

with other Adobe applications, Adobe InDesign CS2 software is not only a better 

choice for page layout—it’s a superior way to work. 

➤

 Selectively display layers and layer comps in Photoshop files, and layers in Adobe 

PDF files, to experiment with different design options or use multiple variations of a 

file in your layout—all while linking to a single file.

➤

 Easily anchor callouts, pull quotes, margin notes, and graphics to text. Precisely 

control the positioning of Anchored Objects, apply text wrap settings, and more.

➤

 Automatically repeat transformations, such as scale, skew, rotate, and fit, from one 

object to another.

• Quickly turn simple shapes into complex forms using Pathfinder commands that 

can combine, subdivide, or isolate overlapping objects.

➤

 Use convenient buttons in the Pathfinder palette to convert an object from one shape 

to another, such as turning a rectangle into an ellipse of the same size.

• Import styled Microsoft Word and Excel tables, create tables by importing from tab-

delimited text files, or build from scratch in InDesign. Further refine your tables 

with formatting options such as color fills in alternating rows and automatic 

running headers and footers.

• Create and save striped, dotted, and dashed stroke styles and apply them to 

underlines and strikethroughs, as well as to lines and paragraph rules.

• Use the convenient Pen, Pencil, Shape, Erase, Smooth, and Scissors tools to quickly 

create and edit simple graphics in your InDesign layouts.

• Experiment freely and retrace multiple steps using the Undo and Redo commands.

• Create graphical elements by aligning text to any path with full typographical 

control. Apply special effects to create eye-catching designs.

• Apply editable drop shadows, feathering, and other transparency effects. Maintain 

soft edges when placing transparent Photoshop files.
