Our InDesign CS 3 workbook is under development. The book should be available in the next 4-6 weeks. In the meantime, here are the new features that get our "That’s Cool!" vote. (Of course there are many more features than those listed below, but these rock! We’ll have lessons to support these features in the new book.)
Multi-file Place
Now you can select and place multiple text and images at one time. Imagine a layout with 4 text frames and 4 image frames. Instead of having to use the Place command 8 times to add the individual assets to your document, you can select all 8 assets at one time and place them, rapid-fire, throughout the document.
Advanced Find/Change
You can now search for change properties of objects, even across multiple documents (that includes master pages, footnotes, and locked or hidden layers). And you can save your searches–perfect if you find yourself searching for the same things week in and week out.
Table and Cell Styles
InDesign already had text and object styles, allowing you to apply consistent formats and quickly change the appearance of text and objects throughout a document. Now you can create styles for both tables and table cells.
