Adobe InDesign CS2 v4, DE CD W32 27510757 User Manual

➤

 Apply and globally update object-level formatting more efficiently using object 

styles. Save a wide range of graphic, text, and frame-level attributes as object styles 

to create more consistent designs and speed up production tasks.

• Define character and paragraph settings using a rich set of text-formatting 

attributes. Enhancements make it easier than ever to set up a default style, change 

the base style, clear overrides, and apply multiple styles at once.

• Perform complex text formatting more efficiently with nested styles. For example, 

create an inline heading with a character style nested within a paragraph style.

➤

 Selectively load paragraph, character, and object styles from other InDesign 

documents, and control how InDesign handles style name conflicts.

➤

 Quickly sort through dozens or even hundreds of styles to find and apply the one 

you want without taking your hands off the keyboard.

➤

 Browse, organize, label, and preview graphics and InDesign documents, templates, 

and snippets in Adobe Bridge. Drag and drop assets from Adobe Bridge into layouts 

easily and efficiently. Search for files using metadata, such as keywords, colors, and 

image resolution.

• Use the File Info command to easily embed XMP metadata, such as copyright, 

author, description, and keywords, in InDesign CS2 files. InDesign CS2 

automatically embeds metadata about the fonts and swatches used in files. View, 

edit, and search on metadata in InDesign CS2 and other graphics files using  

Adobe Bridge.

• View valuable text and image data in the Info palette, including word and line 

counts, the original and current resolution of resized images, and the metadata 

embedded in placed elements, such as Photoshop files.

• Select one or more links in the Links palette and copy them to a new location, and 

easily show a linked file in Adobe Bridge, the Finder, or Internet Explorer.

• Drag and drop frequently used InDesign objects into a library for convenient 

retrieval. Now you can add all items on a page as separate library objects in one 

move, update an edited library object directly, and maintain XML structure in 

library objects.

➤

 Easily export InDesign objects as snippets, which can be shared with colleagues or 

reused in other documents. When you place or drag a snippet into a layout, InDesign 

re-creates the original objects, their formatting, and their relative positioning on the 

page.
