News and special offers from our sponsors:
>> In-Tools is owned by the famous "Harbs" who helps out so many users here on the blog (such as the Hex color script). They just came out with an update to World Tools and World Tools Plus, two InDesign plug-ins that represent “the most complete solution available for composing multilingual documents including Hebrew, Arabic, Indic languages, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and more.” Go to the World Tools product page to see screen shots, download a trial, and learn all the neat things InDesign can do with typesetting world languages.
>> Rorohiko has a number of cool plug-ins for InDesign users that slash the amount of time it takes to get something done! For example, Anne-Marie uses their plug-in TextExporter so often she thought it was part of the program! This wonderful timesaver lets you intelligently export text from multiple stories in InDesign out to a single, concatenated RTF or text file. It's the ideal add-on for anyone who needs to repurpose text from their layouts. Special for InDesignSecrets listeners: Use the coupon code INDESIGNSECRETS137 in the Rorohiko.com store to get TextExporter for only $15 instead of $19.
