Customize which attributes to apply in the Eyedropper Tool Options dialog box. See

Paragraphs that span columns
In InCopy CS5, you can make a paragraph span multiple columns. You can also split a paragraph into multiple columns
within the same text frame. See
Create paragraphs that span or split columns.
Caption variables
In InDesign CS5, you can generate captions based on image metadata using a number of methods. Live captions use a
new text variable called Metadata Caption. You can create or edit caption text variables for use in InDesign. See
Define
caption variables.
Usability and productivity
Enhanced layers
The Layers panel in InCopy gives you more control over your documents. You can hide or lock individual page items
in a layer. See

the Background Tasks panel (Window > Utilities > Background Tasks) to view the progress of ongoing processes.
