Happy New Year!

• New Year's Resolutions for InDesign Users (yes, including us). Our full list of suggestions appears below, suitable for printing and checking off!
• Obscure InDesign Feature of the Week: JPEG 2000

Links mentioned in the Podcast: Looking for a script or plug-in? Try here Our free Keyboard Shortcuts plug-in Robin Williams' The Mac is Not a Typewriter or The PC is Not a Typewriter Our recommended InDesign books and videos for reference How to rebuild Preferences in InDesign Do you use JPEG 2000? Adobe wants to know

2008 New Year's Resolutions: Our Suggested List for InDesign Users

• I'll find and learn how to use one new (to me) script and plug-in that helps my work.
• I'll use paragraph and character styles properly.
• I'll start placing PSD, AI, and PDF files instead of EPS.
• I'll finally break my habit of typing double-spaces after punctuation.
• I'll get into the habit of using the temporary Hand tool instead of the scroll bars when it makes sense.
• I'll import XML and export XML at least once this year successfully, even if it's on my own time, just to learn the process.
• I'll get a reference on InDesign that I can refer to when I'm stuck.
• I'll force myself to use New Window, Story Editor, Glyphs panel, and Quick Apply three times so that I learn to fully appreciate their utility.
• I'll set up, save and use at least 2 different workspaces.
• I'll learn the keyboard shortcuts to open the panels I use most often, even if it means having to customize them to ones I'll remember.
• I'll rebuild my Preferences, then set my application preferences and default styles and swatches, then back up that prefs file.
• I'll add at least one comment to a post on InDesignSecrets.com, even just to say "thanks" or "whaaa?" so we know you're out there!

• News: This conference, New plug-ins for CS3, New InDesign user group in London, UK
• Who in the audience travelled the furthest to the conference?
• Q&A from the audience: Converting CS3 to CS2 and CS2 to CS1, Editing .inx files

• Obscure InDesign Feature of the Week: Convert to Text

Links mentioned in the Podcast:

Teacup Software (PatternMaker and BarcodeMaker plug-ins)
Typefi (free AutoFit plug-in)
London InDesign User Group
Brazilian InDesign Blog
PitStop Professional from Enfocus Software
Adding the Notes plug-ins to InDesign CS2

Quizzler answers!
From our genius studio audience: Cut/copy paste, Step and repeat, Alt/Option-drag, Cut/copy Paste in place, Cut/copy Paste into, Duplicate, Transform > Move (with Copy button), Duplicate a layer containing the object, Alt/Option-drag the object's layer proxy to a new layer, Export snippet and place it back in, Drag it into a Library and drag it back onto the layout, Use it in PatternMaker, Duplicate the page or spread containing the object, Use it on a Master page and then override it on the document page, Option/Alt-arrow key.
From David: File > Export to .inx then copy and paste the call to the object elsewhere in the .inx file, save it and then open it in InDesign.
From Anne-Marie: Paste object into first row of table, convert row to a Header row, then continue table into a new frame and the object gets duplicated in the second frame's Header row.
Two more from David: Hold down the Option/Alt key when pressing Return/Enter after editing any transform field; or Copy object to clipboard, then use Find/Change text (Find: any character or string, Change: Clipboard contents).

Wow! Who knew there were so many ways? Listen to the podcast to learn who won the contest.
