>> MathMagic, the ultimate equation editor from Info Logic, Inc., is a WYSIWYG equation editor/plug-in that lets you create inline, editable EPS equations from within InDesign (if you use the MathMagic Pro edition). It even converts equations set by Word’s Equation Editor, LaTex, MathML and MathType, to MathMagic-style equations.  

>> Em Software’s powerful InData cross-platform plug-in for InDesign is the gold standard for database publishing. Make your template in InDesign, point it at your data source, and click Start. Sit back and watch as it creates dozens or hundreds of pages entirely hands-off, even including things like graphics and running headers and footers, leaving you with a normal InDesign document.

>> Rorohiko's MagnetoGuides is a nifty tool for InDesign CS1–CS5 that lets you "magnetize" guides, which push or pull any ‘snapped’ items along when they are moved. Also check out Soxy, a utility that keeps track of which versions of programs your files were created in, and opens them in the right version.
