News and special offers from our sponsors:
>> 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).

>> In-Tools is the developer of World Tools Pro, InDesign plug-ins that represent “the most complete solution available for composing multilingual documents including Hebrew, Arabic, Indic languages, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and more.” Additionally, World Tools Pro offers a Composite Font Editor for creating custom composite fonts which automatically uses you choice of the font for each writing script you are using to compose your text. Free demo available for Mac/Windows.
>> Rorohiko's StoryParker is a tool for InDesign CS1–CS5 that helps you cope with cluttered pages. Park an object somewhere else (like on the pasteboard) to get it out of the way. Later on, you can easily move the page item back to its exact original position, because parked page items ‘remember’ where they came from – you can ‘unpark’ them, which causes them to fly back to the exact location they had before you parked them. Use the coupon code INDESIGNSECRETS144 to get 20% off StoryParker!
