News and special offers from our sponsors:

>> WinSoft International designs, develops, and localizes software for emerging markets, including InDesign ME (Middle Eastern). Their new plug-in ScribeDOOR for InDesign ($89) adds the ability to edit and treat text in 21 complex languages, including Arabic, Hebrew, Farsi and many Indian scripts. It can be installed, as a plug-in, in all Roman versions of InDesign CS4 or CS5, and those files can be opened and viewed by any other CS4 or CS5 user without them needing the plug-in. There is a free trial of the plug-in available.

>> Rorohiko's TextExporter 3.0 plug-in makes exporting text out of InDesign CS2-CS5 so simple! You can export all the stories in an ID file into one single RTF, plain text, or ID tagged text file, and you control how it orders the text as it extracts and concatenates it. Special for InDesignSecrets listeners: Use the coupon code INDESIGNSECRETS129 in the Rorohiko.com store to get 20% off the TextExporter plug-in.
