News and special offers from our sponsors:

 

>> ID-Extras has a cool range of InDesign add-ons and scripts especially for book and other long-document publishing, many of which are great for any kind of publishing work you do in InDesign. For example, wouldn't you love to be able to do a Find/Change for attributes in your Paragraph Styles, and the Change step would update all your styles at once? Of course you would! That's what the Search In Styles script does. You can get a special podcast-only discount price ($39 instead of $49) until Jan. 31, 2015 by going to this special page: http://www.id-extras.com/searchinstylesextendedoffer and use the password "podcast" (no quotes).

QUIZZLER answer and winner!

There are 32 (yes that many) trash can/dust bin icons "littered" (sorry) throughout the InDesign interface. Intrepid listener Jim Leonardson of Chicago, Illinois came up with the top answer, which you'll find below the show links.  Honorable mention to blog contributor/InDesign author Sandee Cohen, who sent us a PDF containing screen shots of the 27 that she found.  Jim won two of our eb0oks, our Top Forty InDesign Tips and the Guide to Graphic Effects bundle by Mike Rankin.
