Other changes extend existing InDesign features. Rounding out the text-handling improvements are the abilities to drag and drop text to apply styles to text and other objects with a Quick Apply palette so you don’t have to switch between the keyboard and mouse when editing to set baseline grids for individual text frames and to associate multiple dictionaries to a file (so you can mix languages or regular and specialty dictionaries). InDesign’s spelling checker has been improved in several ways: it can now check spelling dynamically by flagging suspect words with squiggles à la Word it offers autocorrection (to fix misspellings as you type) and it provides the option of making spell-checking case-sensitive. It’s a subtle enhancement, but it shows the kind of fine-tuning that Adobe has brought to this latest version. Without this feature, you’d need to align elements on left pages separately from those on right pages, and then watch out for elements that need to be realigned as they move between pages. One nice but easily overlooked new feature is the ability to have InDesign CS2 align text away from or toward a spine, a handy way to automatically align text such as pull-quotes, based on whether they are on a left or right page. Also, when importing automatic numbered or bulleted lists from Word or RTF files, InDesign doesn’t see them as automated lists, so their numbering becomes fixed as regular text. For example, you can’t automatically align list numbers to the decimal. This feature is adequate for many users but is hardly sophisticated. InDesign CS2 also supports automated numbered and bulleted lists with a feature adopted from PageMaker. InDesign CS2 supports footnotes, which you can either import from Word or create in InDesign, and lets you control their formatting and placement. InDesign CS2 can anchor objects to specific points in text, so they follow the text as it reflows. Importing styles from other InDesign documents is also improved: you can now select which styles to import, rather than importing all of them. Even better, you can save these import settings for easy reuse. When importing text from Word or Rich Text Format (RTF) files, InDesign CS2 now gives you real control over how styles are imported, letting you map Word styles to InDesign styles, and designating when the document uses the InDesign or Word style when both documents use the same style names. If you import Word files that have linked text frames, InDesign now detects and retains them, though not necessarily in their original position. Through a complicated interface that could stand some simplification, you can control the positions of anchored objects (such as at the top of the page and to the left of the text containing the link). This is great for pull-quotes, cross-reference boxes, callouts, and figures. So as the text moves, so does the anchored object. Layout artists will love the new anchored-object feature, which links an object (text frame, graphics frame, or line) to a specific place in text.
