There are all kinds of InDesign “secrets.” Some are nifty tricks that you might use once a week or once a month. Some are mind-blowing things that might just inspire you to think harder and get the most out of your tools. And then there’s the most valuable kind of secret—the kind that you’ll use over and over on a daily basis to become a more efficient and successful InDesign user. And that’s the kind of secret on display in the latest InDesignSecrets video at lynda.com. In the video, Anne-Marie Concepción shares several key tips for taking the time and toil out of working with image captions.
She shows how to quickly make the spacing between images and their captions consistent throughout your layout, how to prevent captions from becoming accidentally overset when they’re placed near an image, and how to automate caption formatting with object styles. So check out InDesignSecrets at lynda.com and become the Captain of Captions.
