Still using InDesign CS3?
Upgrading from InDesign CS3 to InDesign CS5.5 also adds all the new features introduced in
InDesign CS4. These include timesaving enhancements to the user interface and long-document
publishing features, in addition to interactivity features, as well as the following:
• Live Preight. Preight while you design. Continuous preighting alerts you to potential
production problems in real time so you can quickly navigate to a problem, x it directly in
layout, and keep working.
• Customizable Links panel. Find, sort, and manage all of your document’s placed les in the
customizable Links panel. View aributes that are most critical to your workow, such as scale,
rotation, and resolution.
• Conditional text. Deliver multiple versions of a document for dierent users, all from a single
InDesign source le. Hide text at paragraph, word, and even character level without relying on
layers. e remaining text and anchored objects automatically reow in the layout.
• Cross-references. Simplify the writing, production, and management of long documents with
exible and powerful cross-references that dynamically update as content is changed or moved
within a document.
• Smart Guides. Quickly align, space, rotate, and resize single or multiple objects with the help of
dynamic guides. e guides, object dimensions, rotation angles, and X and Y coordinates appear
dynamically so you can quickly snap an object’s edge or its vertical or horizontal center to
another object or page edge in the layout.
