    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!
