News and special offers from our sponsors:
>> Em Software is the developer of DocsFlow and WordsFlow, two plug-ins for Adobe InDesign that dynamically link your text frames to online Google Docs (DocsFlow) or placed Word files (WordsFlow). These products enable a breakthrough publishing workflow, one where your authors and editors can keep changing the source document, and you can merge in their changes automatically and painlessly, even after you've made changes to the InDesign story (without losing your changes or formatting!). Special offer just for InDesignSecrets listeners: Use the coupon code ids0213 in the EmSoftware.com store when buying either of these plug-ins and get 20% off! This code is only good until March 31, 2013, so grab them both!
>> Rorohiko offers many free scripts for InDesign (their commercial ones and their custom jobs allow them to do this), and one that's very cool is called TextStitch. This script lets you easily thread multiple text frames together, manually or automatically. It's just the ticket for managing the order of content when you're exporting stories to RTF, EPUB, or HTML. To see how it works, Keith Gilbert wrote a great blog post extolling its wonderfulness. Download TextStitch for free, but tell Rorohiko where you heard about it, please!
