News and special offers from our sponsors: >> In-Tools creates InDesign plug-ins mainly for people doing multi-lingual or long document publishing, but many of their products are useful for anyone. In his free time, company owner Harbs is constantly churning out useful and often free scripts, such as the Preference Manager we talked about in this episode. >> Rorohiko has a number of cool plug-ins for InDesign users that slash the amount of time it takes to get something done. For instance, have you ever wished you could add a vertical bar next to a paragraph and have it flow with the text, even if the paragraph breaks between columns or pages? Rorohiko's new BarredText plug-in ($19US) can do that for you, whether you use CS3, CS4, or CS5. A free trial is available, and when you decide to purchase it, be sure to use the discount code INDESIGNSECRETS141 for a significant discount.
