Adobe InDesign CS3 is chock-full of enhancements and new features, but very few of them will create a stir among designers the way version 2.0’s transparency feature did. Nor does the new version extend the program into new areas, as InDesign CS2 did with its bevy of additional text-management functions. But don’t let that first impression fool you. InDesign CS3 will grow on you as its improved utility becomes more obvious in day-to-day work. You’ll first notice the new user interface, which offers more screen space for your layouts. The new docks keep the layout window inside of them, so there are fewer objects to overlap your document window, and the ability to collapse panels (previously called palettes) into small icons on the dock really frees up space.

The expanding Control panel, which is located by default at the top of the screen, gives you access to more functions when you’re working on a high-resolution monitor. The revamped interface helps overcome the difficulty of fitting InDesign on a 1,024-by-768-pixel or smaller screen, but you’ll find that it still feels cramped at that size.

For example, in the full-size panel view, the text-oriented panels are reduced to just their tabs, so they’re useless unless you remove or resize other panels so they can grow. Practical additions Dig a little deeper, and you’ll find my favorite addition: the expanded Find/Change dialog box, which now lets you search and replace object attributes (such as strokes, fills, and text wrap), makes easy work of adjusting your layout. And thanks to a new glyph-oriented pane, the new dialog box also makes working with special symbols effortless. Designers will also like the expanded special effects features, which invokePhotoshop-style effects such as Bevel and Emboss and Inner Shadow. InDesign can apply these effects separately to an object’s contents, its frame, or to the object as a whole, which brings very rich creative capabilities as you mix and match the effects. But you still can’t apply an effect—not even a basic transparency—to text selections (as [ ] can); instead, an effect is applied to all of a frame’s text. Publishers of specialty documents such as catalogs and research papers will get a lot of use out of the new Text Variables feature.

Although InDesign still can’t insert cross-references to other text elements inside the same document (for example, a page-number reference to a sidebar on a different page, which can update when the text is reflowed and pages are renumbered), it can do pretty much everything else, such as inserting the date, the file name, the chapter number, and running heads and footers based on each page’s headings—not just on the user-specified text that XPress 6’s text-synchronization feature first introduced. And the Text Variables feature gives you a lot of control over the formatting of these elements. The ability to import other InDesign documents into a layout makes it much easier to create composite layouts. For example, you can import an ad file into a magazine layout, so the ad is automatically updated in the magazine. You can even edit that ad from within the magazine layout (it opens in a new window).

InDesign CS3 also lets you export layouts in XHTML format, something competitor XPress has been able to do for years. Unlike XPress, InDesign doesn’t try to reproduce the layout as a Web page; instead, it converts the graphics to Web-native formats and applies CSS style names to the exported text based on your paragraph styles. The idea is to prepare the InDesign content for design work in a program like Dreamweaver. If your Web pages don’t look like your print pages, that’s OK. But it would be nice to have an option to simulate the print page layout when desired. To get a more print-like version of your layout for Web use, InDesign CS3 does add the ability to export to the Digital Editions’ eBook format, which more closely resembles PDF than HTML in its visual richness.
